marylyn, have you access to illinoise land records on ancestory.com if so go look type in coker and see what comes up. specially at the meridian area everyone of the cokers bought in same region almost or with miles of each other. yet no relation very questionable course everyone denies four or three coker brother comming over but i find it odd these names are on list john james william charles then also anthony, claybourn dennnis abram b, and cathatrine coker, most of this land though was bought eldest being william coker 1818 clabourn coker 1826 dennis coker 1827 dennis coker 1830 claiborne coker 1830 charles coker 1836 charles coker 1839 then none till mid 1800's catharine coker 1850 anthony coker 1851 joseph coker 1851 john coker 1852 william coker 1852 john coker 1852 cathrine coker 1852 anthony coker 1852 clabourn coker 1853 joseph coker 1853 abram b coker 1853 william coker 1853 joseph coker 1854 james coker 1854 john coker 1855 most ranges are with in stones throwing distance yet these folks arent related? I know dennis and claybourn are but other I dont know but find it odd the land is in close proximity to each other and all of them bought it in big lots 8000 acres down to 4000 acres some are more but average is the same. only break i see is claybourn and dennis they are in 19 18 sections but william coke was in section 10 later see him in 5 or 6.... find it hard to believe these people arent related. gary coker ----- Original Message ----- From: lynnjack Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 10:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Coker] Crocker Gary; Emily Grace Davisson was the dau of William Wisley Davisson and Elizabeth Coker of McLeansboro, Hamilton Co. IL. Elizabeth Coker was the dau of Rev Charles Coker & his 2nd wife, Catherine Sonyard. Rev. Charles Coker was the son of William Coker out of Blount & Maury Co? TN and that is all I can do from memory. All of my files are packed away while a proper office is being built. I do have siblings for Elizabeth but can't get to them. Back before that Dwight has better information then I do. Hope that might help a little.
