rich, dont worry I have yet to find anything from LDS to be right yet but definately will throw what information I find into my research file mainly to explore... When I looked at the claybourne/ claiborne I looked at the age on census I believ it only one claybourne because age and place where both are from says GA. the two dennis I have one is the uncle of the other with the same GA state and age is close to claiborne. Spelling back then from what I have seen was done more sound rather then being correct. I have sent for the will of claybourned coker in jacksonville so maybe that will clear that up a bit. gary coker ----- Original Message ----- From: Dwight Stipes Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 7:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Coker] John and Priscilla Coker, Brunswick Co, Va. - 1759 Gary, Use only the films of actual archive records. They did and do not proof the data. use that info for leads. There has been a lot of false data sent out in the past. This is not just a little problem it is a major problem at LDS. The date is sent in by individuals with little to no facts. Anyway, i have two Claiborne & Dennis in IL about the same time. That is not a surprise. You also told me about the two. I am surprised about the John as a parent for the two. If this is a factoid or archive data we should look closer. We should look at it close any way but don't get to excited yet. We may be dealing with another Coker line and different time line. Let me know what you find as to fact an this New line for Claiborn & Dennis.
