I have made a connection in notes but have left them separated/not merged for now, want more proof but we are reel close.

Beth I wish we could find the site, I have a John Wesley in my line. Thanks Ann

Beth Could not find the site you listed on the previous email (about John Wesley Coker site), could there be a mistake? Thanks Ann

Sorry Ann I do not see a mistake. I downloaded this on 3/2002; may have moved or disappeared. All of the research was published by a Steve Coker, a descendant of John Wilson Coker. William Coker and a brother came to America during the Revolutionary War in the "King's Army" but switched and fought with the Colonists. William Coker's naturalization papers are filed in York County, South Carolina in October 1808, p. 159-160. All this was on site.

Middleton Coker was my gggrandfather. "Joshua's marriage was quite an event, and , as told by George McDonald, the boy fiddler, of the occasion represents some of the primitive social habits of those days. It was in 1852. Kilpatrick was to marry the daughter of Middleton Coker, two miles or more west of Rockford. McDonald reached Coker's before light, and found quite a gathering of neighbors, both men and women, already assembled. Soon the men started with dogs and guns for a hunt, while some remained to have the barbecue bits ready when the hunters returned. The ladies had in some quilts, and surrounding the frames, they worked faithfully to have the quilts out in due time. By eleven o'clock the hunters returned with several deer, a number of turkeys, squirrels, possums and birds, which were soon on the sticks over the barbecue pits, such as were to be prepared in that way. By the middle of the afternoon or before the feast was ready and spread upon improvised tables, and with the heartiness begotten of much exercise, the late hour of the meal and the prevailing good humor of the crowd, the meal was long lingered over and enjoyed. A little after dark the bride and groom were married, and congratulations and good wishes were for awhile the order of the day. Then the rooms were cleared of obstructing furniture, and the fiddlers began. There were several fiddlers present, who by turns furnished the music which inspired the dancers. the two best fiddlers were George McDonald, the neatly dressed town boy, and Jonathan Hardegree, with suit of grey home-made jeans, coat cut with dress style of claw-hammer tail. The dress of the party varied from home-made jeans, linen duster, to stylish tailor suits. The dancing and feasting continue all night with the best of humor and good will, everybody the equal of everyone else socially. With the dawning light of another day the party broke up." -Coosa Count Historical Quarterly, Spring Issue, 1942

I am looking at pictures that I took last spring at the Coker cemetery near Nowata,OK. I have Calvin and Mildred's tombstone picture. My gggrandparents (William and Rebecca Daniel) are burid there. Rebecca was a Coker. She is probably the first one buried in that cemetery according to any records that I find. Are you a direct decendant of Calvin and Mildred?
