You might try in that region seems that some coker either went to illinoise after ga or went west to kentucky or missouri. it the 1820's land grants were opening up in illinoise territory and looking thru history i have found one fredrick coker that served in the civil war and was a prisoner at the andersonville confederate prison. I cant speculate that this would be the brother to the george you have but may be a way to search another route. this particular fred was from ohio. another is around jacksonville illinois or a county close to it i dont have my notes at the moment so cant give you exact detail on freds i have found. My aunt have them updating their records.. respectfully, gary coker
