beth, only problem i see of this is where is link that the one in surry county is the right one to this will becuase there also is a joseph in same time span that dies in 1774/75 that is in chathom nc region. That is why so many are feuding over this area of history cause one clan of cokers says one thing another says another thing. only proof of joseph is the court asking millie or milsey to bring orphan's isaac abraham jacob and malichi to court to prove they are joseph sons. that happened in 1774 was finished 1775. now give that context that would make this joseph about the right age as that will you posted and also is why everyone is trying to find broken links. according to this will this joseph would be only be 22 if he serve on court in 1781 if he is the one in will to me that is questionable. due to how many kids that are mentioned. The joseph I would believe is this one was roughly born 1740. Do you happen to know the age of the joseph you have date born and date of death beth? am curious to see this because given that will gives the heirs the stuff right them give the thought they are all adults at this time not children. gary coker ----- Original Message ----- From: Beth Gay Sent: Saturday, April 20, 2002 8:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Coker] John and Priscilla Coker, Brunswick Co, Va. - 1759 The Joseph Coker, son of John and Priscilla Coker was in Surry County, North Carolina in 1781.
