While I am sure that the majority of Crocker's listed in records are just that; I have found clerks who recorded Crocker when these people were actually Coker's, so if you find a Crocker in your research I would recommend researching a little further to determine whether you actually have a Crocker or a Coker. I do not find it anymore confusing than the other various spellings such as Cooker, Cocker, Coquer, Cocor, etc. You just much research far enough to determine the correct family name.

Dwight; I have just last week informed the COKER list that the CROCKERS and COKERS are two different families and HAVE DONE THROUGH RESEACH AS TO THE family standings, so please don't get new COKER or CROCKER genealogist reseachers confused BY CALLING the CROCKER families COKERS or the COKER families CROCKERS !!!! Thank you! I am happily both A CROCKER COUSIN AND COKER COUSIN. A few intermarriaed with the COKERS as my dad (HORACE N. CROCKER) did with my mother (MAEZELL TARR) whose mother PEARL C. TARR was a DAUGHTER of JOSEPH JAMES COKER of MONTAGUE AND COOKE CO. TX, AND CHOCTAW AL. For more information concerning the CROCKERs begin on <http://www.geocities.com/texannusa36/thehouseofcrocker.html> , there you will find very informative links to the CROCKER family history as well as links to the CROCKER MAILING LIST ARCHIVES and THE CROCKER COUSINS site.. Please, look for yourself. Thank you! blessings Evelyn CROCKER descendant of CROCKER, TARR, COKER,DUKE, BELL, GANDY, BRYANT, CAMPBELL, DE WITT, KIRBY, TOLLESON,AMYETT , KROH (CROW), KLINGENSMITH (CLINGENSMITH). CROCKER not COKER or any of the varients of the COKER name.

Gary, I'm sorry but I am not aware of any of the southern IL Cokers who ended up around Springfield, IL area...that is not to say it is impossible, but my research on the Cokers remains in the beginning stages with most of my time spent on another branch of the family.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: WINNINGHAM COKER STEVENSON/STEPHENSON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BVJ.2ACIB/907.906.910.909.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi! Charlotte, Careful about filling in those blanks. That's what got me mixed up with the Coker's. I was only trying to find the death date of Temperance Stevenson/Winningham when I found another mg to Philip Coker in Lauderdale Cty MS in 1844. What was he doing in MS? All his Children seem to have been born in AL. When I found them there I Thought the new child Charles had to have been born there as well but the Census records all show MS so he must have staid in MS a while. It was only because I knew she had a son William Wesley Winningham that led me to check in AR. Thanks for the info from 1900 Census for Charles. I missed it and was checking elsewhere. As you see I have little knowledge of Cokers but am sending what I have accumulated in my Winningham/Stevenson search. John W Coker is listed seperately in 1860, 1870, and 1900 on the Drew Cty Census. Charles evidently had 3 different wives as you've discovered a 3rd and I already had 2. You might find it less stressful fo the list to contact me at [email protected] Hope something helps. Mary ================================= Descendants of Phillip COKER Jr - 26 Apr 2002 as collected from 1850 Shelby Cty AL Census and 1860 Drew Cty AR Census. He must have died before 1880 Drew Cty Census enumeration because Temperence Coker age 76 is listed as Mother in hh of William Wesley Winningham. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1-Phillip COKER b: 1796 in S C sp: Temperance A STEVENSON/WINNINGHAM b: 1804 in SC m: 21 Jul 1844 in Lauderdale Co MS 2-Charles T COKER b: Sep 1845 in Shelby?

Gary; Emily Grace Davisson was the dau of William Wisley Davisson and Elizabeth Coker of McLeansboro, Hamilton Co. IL. Elizabeth Coker was the dau of Rev Charles Coker & his 2nd wife, Catherine Sonyard. Rev. Charles Coker was the son of William Coker out of Blount & Maury Co? TN and that is all I can do from memory. All of my files are packed away while a proper office is being built. I do have siblings for Elizabeth but can't get to them. Back before that Dwight has better information then I do.

marylyn, have you access to illinoise land records on ancestory.com if so go look type in coker and see what comes up. specially at the meridian area everyone of the cokers bought in same region almost or with miles of each other. yet no relation very questionable course everyone denies four or three coker brother comming over but i find it odd these names are on list john james william charles then also anthony, claybourn dennnis abram b, and cathatrine coker, most of this land though was bought eldest being william coker 1818 clabourn coker 1826 dennis coker 1827 dennis coker 1830 claiborne coker 1830 charles coker 1836 charles coker 1839 then none till mid 1800's catharine coker 1850 anthony coker 1851 joseph coker 1851 john coker 1852 william coker 1852 john coker 1852 cathrine coker 1852 anthony coker 1852 clabourn coker 1853 joseph coker 1853 abram b coker 1853 william coker 1853 joseph coker 1854 james coker 1854 john coker 1855 most ranges are with in stones throwing distance yet these folks arent related? I know dennis and claybourn are but other I dont know but find it odd the land is in close proximity to each other and all of them bought it in big lots 8000 acres down to 4000 acres some are more but average is the same. only break i see is claybourn and dennis they are in 19 18 sections but william coke was in section 10 later see him in 5 or 6.... find it hard to believe these people arent related. gary coker ----- Original Message ----- From: lynnjack Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 10:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Coker] Crocker Gary; Emily Grace Davisson was the dau of William Wisley Davisson and Elizabeth Coker of McLeansboro, Hamilton Co.

We Know that It's just fun to Pretend??? Everyone knows that the "Arms" are for direct Family members only. Who in America would want to be Royalty. I like being a Paschal, Maverek etc. America is about being an individual.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/BVJ.2ACIB/907.906.910.909.1 Message Board Post: Mary -- I was so happy to see your posting concerning Philip Coker, Jr. I have been searching AL. 1860 census, with no luck. He's not my direct line, but I believe my ggg grandfather, John Wesley Coker, was his brother, and that they were both sons of Philip, b ca 1766. This older Philip was living with Jr. in 1850, Shelby Co., so unless he's lived another 10 years longer and is shown with Jr. in 1860, Drew Co., we can assume he died between those two census records. Your Charles T. Coker was shown on 1900 AR Soundex, Drew Co., Clear Creek Twp., 11-69,5-21: Charles T. Coker, b Sep 1845, 54, MS; Sarah J., wife, b Aug 1840, 59, b SC; Philip B., son, b Dec 1874, 25, b AR; Jessie L., Niece, b Jan 1878, 22, AR; and boarder Milton Rawby/Rawly?, b Apr 1880, 20, b AR. A half brother of Charles was also in Drew Co., 1880 and 1900. His name was John A. (1880), AL, or John W. (1900), with wife Amanda, b AL, and several children. I can send you the names of those children if you like. Two other possible children of Philip, Jr.'s by his first wife Patience, Fatha/Hatha Ann Coker who married James Lawrence Samuel Butts Clower, and Alexander Coker who may have married Rebecca Mozelle Bassett, also moved to Drew Co. Don't know what the draw was for that locale. I would appreciate anything you could tell me about Philip, Jr. I'm just trying to accurately fill in all the blanks. Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Dwight, All I know is the following. Descendants of Pryor Sexton and Catherine Coker Sexton, daughter of John Michael Coker, still live on the land pioneered by William and Thornton Sexton, sons of Pryor. Danny Miller states that the will of John M Coker was signed in German. Also my biggest information source in Little Grassy Creek, NC stated to me that someone in the family has some letters written to John M Coker from Germany and written in German. Therefore it has been assumed that John M Coker was from Germany. It has always been passed down through these descendants living in Little Grassy Creek that Catherine Coker, the wife of Pryor, was German. Sorry I cannot be of more help, Paula of Tulsa

dwight, I have actually found coker's to be german , irish , french, & english from what I have seen its in the spelling of coker that gives the origin kiker, coaker, coker are english spelling of name kocker german, cocker supposively is irish, coquer is french ....how much of this is true but even the coker name in england from my understanding actually started from france and came thru the blood line of king henry the 8th wife that is why the silver in the crest from my understanding gold being of king silver being of queen. garycoker ----- Original Message ----- From: Dwight Stipes Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 7:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Coker] Re: sally coker Hi, I Have a question about John Michael Coker signing in German ???

Thanks, Keith, for posting. This is very interesting. I have read the same thing. That is why the CROCKER COUSINS chose to design their own arms tying it into the old CROCKER arms of ENGLAND, yet changing by adding a steaming mug (cup) of liquid. It may be seen on my House of CROCKER site at <http://www.geocities.com/texannusa36/thehouseofcrocker.html> Don't be bashful, let us hear from you more, Keith. Blessings: Evelyn Crocker also a COKER descendant
