B. , Seaborn was given the nick of Sebe, but, it is strange that it was used in legal papers and since I found Seaborn B. on the Ms. Army of the Confederacy roster , I believe he is my > WARREN COKER's brother, until proved otherwise. > I see there were three Seaborns about the same age, Seaborn B. COKER , Ms.; SEABORN S. COKER and SEABORN C. COKER OF AL AND ARK.. > SEABORN and Gallant C. COKER were both living across the Al line in Ms. They both were said to be born in the area about the time Al. was taken out of Ms. Territory and became a state. They didn't move , the States and counties boundaries did. > > These are the brothers and sisters my Great Great grandmother NANCY WILLBANKS Coker knew in Al before coming to Tx.., Sebe, Greene, Gallant, Getty , Diadem and Mrs. Wheelis (Dicey Coker).

What is the proof here? Just a similar name of a descendant or is there a bible or marriage record or a military record or census naming her as his wife ??? > > In that case, then Dicey Dial was one of the wives of Old John Coker S. C. since my WARREN COKER had a sister called DICEY aka La DICIA WHICH IS FRENCH or SPANISH. Her mother was born in La or Louisana Territory. > My grandmother, Preal Coker Tarr once mentioned her mother was bn in New Orleans now I believe it was her greatgrandmother, Warren Coker's mother. > > If anyone on the list has a copy of Seaborn B. Coker's Ms. Army of the confederacy military records I would appreciate a copy. It should tell where he was born. > Gallant's and Warren's did. > > There was an legend that WARREN Coker's family was part Cherokee from the eastern Tribe and his Father was in the 1833 Trail of Tears out of AL so I began my genealogy research years ago to prove this but all the reports came back negative. I even paid a Cherokee > researcher , Mrs Mooney in Oklahoma to do a search. > > I was so sure because when we live in Blount co Tn in 1972, my parents came to visit and we went to Cherokee S. C. to search their records but it was a week - end and the offices were closed but we did find the Museum open and around the walls were pictures of past chiefs > but only their Cherokee names, Many of these men features favored a picture my four Uncles . This was why I begun my genealogy research with my COKER line, we needed to prove our indian blood line so our children could benefit from their Native American heritage. > We may be descend from the Choctaw nation but have found no records of yet. > But, still think Cherokee, Joseph Dempsey COKER was not the only Coker to have married into the early five civilized tribes. > Becky, I do appreicate your suggestions, yes, I realized that Sebe was a nick, but it could also be C.
