I've searched the "Broadfoot" books for any and all Cokers in the Confederate Army, but have never been able to determine if any were the sons of Hiram Coker. There was a Seaborn Coker from Arkansas...I thought that might have been the oldest of those brothers, but I did find him in the 1850 and 1860 Arkansas censuses....he wasn't mine! Thank you for the suggestion, though.
