HA But.... I am also a descendant of the Arkansas - Oklahoma Coker's, My great great grandparents were Isaac P. and Carol Lizabeth (Henderson) Coker of Arkansas anyway I was always told there was cherokee blood also in my line, have not been able to prove that have hit a dead end with Isaac P Coker but I have also come to learn through Carol Lizabeth Henderson Coker line that there is Choctaw blood even tho I have hit another dead end with her parents William and Nancy (Scantlin) Henderson. I guess what I am trying to say is 'DONT GIVE UP" I've searched my other lines and have been able to trace most of my mothers line's not all but most. So somewhere out there (we are just waiting on them to post it haha) somewhere, someone knows our lines.......Hope you dont give up, I know I wont. GOOD LUCK!!!!
