Dwight; I have just last week informed the COKER list that the CROCKERS and COKERS are two different families and HAVE DONE THROUGH RESEACH AS TO THE family standings, so please don't get new COKER or CROCKER genealogist reseachers confused BY CALLING the CROCKER families COKERS or the COKER families CROCKERS !!!! Thank you! I am happily both A CROCKER COUSIN AND COKER COUSIN. A few intermarriaed with the COKERS as my dad (HORACE N. CROCKER) did with my mother (MAEZELL TARR) whose mother PEARL C. TARR was a DAUGHTER of JOSEPH JAMES COKER of MONTAGUE AND COOKE CO. TX, AND CHOCTAW AL. For more information concerning the CROCKERs begin on <http://www.geocities.com/texannusa36/thehouseofcrocker.html> , there you will find very informative links to the CROCKER family history as well as links to the CROCKER MAILING LIST ARCHIVES and THE CROCKER COUSINS site..

While I am sure that the majority of Crocker's listed in records are just that; I have found clerks who recorded Crocker when these people were actually Coker's, so if you find a Crocker in your research I would recommend researching a little further to determine whether you actually have a Crocker or a Coker. I do not find it anymore confusing than the other various spellings such as Cooker, Cocker, Coquer, Cocor, etc. You just much research far enough to determine the correct family name.

The Crocker name variance is usually Croker, Crooker, Croaker , the is always a "r" before the o in the CROCKER variants. In the COKER variants you usually find Koker, Caker, Cocker, Cooker, Coaker. Most mis - spelling in early year was due to the writer's own nationality. Wm Crocker of Isle of Wight Va is definitely CROCKER not COKER. Thank you , Beth and Dwight. Blessings Evelyn CROCKER also a COKER heir.

Hi List: In researching one of my husband's family lines, I find two Coker ladies. It was a surprise and I have no idea where they belong in our tree. 1. Nettie Caroline Coker m: David Henry Isham. David was b: in Comanche Co., TX and they probably married there. They had two sons: R.C., b: 1911 in Comanche, Comanche Co., TX and Edward who was younger. 2. Lona D. Coker m: Daniel Franklin Roberson. Dan b: 1875, Comanche Co., TX and died there in 1943. His second wife was Ella Dorcas Deen so Lona D. may have died long before Dan. I do not have the names of any of their children. Neither of these is my husband's direct line but are just loose ends I'd like to learn about. Any help appreciated. Pat Capps Mehaffey
