I studied on this census image for quite a while last evening. I could not make out the Rody or Lidy for sure. Best guess was Edry, female. I have John as age 20. Ann could be Anny. I decided on Asy for the other but never would have decided that unless I was looking for an Asa. Below the line there was a William age 2, who appeared to be part of this family. Looking for this James Coker in the 1860 and 1870 census, can anyone find him? Asa Coker's census data for 1860 and 1880 in Giles Co, TN both indicate he was born TN.
