HI, I looked at all the families that had James as part of that line. I found only one the even come close. The Thomas who died in 1818 in AL.. Of all the families that I checked they were the nearest to James's data. Can any one else find a James in the early Coker's of Alabama. You would think that if one was born in Alabama he would have family living there. I found no family lines that i would say was connected. James may have been born elsewhere. People have been known to make up info on Census for one reason or another. I have 8 or 9 other Asas that come close to this one. So one should eliminate all other and account for all other Asa Cokers. Most believed that Asa K. was born in TN.??? I had a real hard time reading the census as the rest of you did. Asa could be some other name. I would want more info before I would conclude that James (same James as James in Giles Co). same for him as Asa's father and that James was born in Alabama. I would think that this James as listed on this census was the father of this Asa & Siblings. I still have questions as to who several of the children are. My copy had a William at the bottom but there was x and a line for a signature??? I though that it was for William to sign/Signature :) :)??? I would not have though that I was another child.??? I Have a question about whether there is another Family there??? The Lidy & John could be Husband & wife??? and some of the children could be theirs???? Asy & Mary are the same Husband & Wife?? this may seem far fetched but still could be ??? should be checked. Any way wish you luck, TTYL, Dwight Stipes, (Descendant of Thomas Coker Rev.
