Hello David, Thanks for responding. If you have been working on this for years I don't know if I will have any luck; I have this family group record from the Mormon site that says he was born in Tuscaloosa on 12 May 1832; I don't know the source. The family ID # is 7703949. Anyway 9 children are listed as all being born in Tuscaloosa. Do you have other census records for Asa Coker, if so where do they say he was born and where was he in 1860 and 1870? His wife is listed as Amanda Melvina JOHNSON, daughter of Clarence Daniel JOHNSON and Celia Adeline COLE. Amanda is from Pulaski, Giles, TN, is this correct information? I do need to evaluate the James Coker in Tuscaloosa and Jefferson Counties because I have a missing James from about 1840 until 1880.

Hi Beth, I have been stuck on your question for years. I found a James Coker listed in the Tuscaloosa Co AL 1850 census that lists a number of children including a male age 19. This census is extremely difficult to read but it looks like Acy or Asy. The 1850 census in that county was actually taken in 1851 so the age also fits (Asa was born in 1832). If this is the case then James is Asa's father. There is no female of the right age listed in the census for a mother. Also, I don't think that John Malachi is Asa's brother although could be a cousin. Good luck and let me know if you find any confirmation, rebuttal or additional info.

I don't think there is any connection there. There were a couple of Loving families in Burke Co, NC, when Leonard Sr would have married. There was a William Loving nearby but his daughter, Mary, is accounted for. There was a Gabriel Loving also nearby that is a possibility. Stan
