    1. [Coker] Wesley Coker-1870 White Co. GA
    2. Hello All- In the 1870 White Co. census, Cleveland P.O., is Wesley Coker, b. NC, age 39? Others in household are Louisa, 40, William, Thomas, Martha, Elizabeth Coker and a Nancy Proctor, 69. Next door to Wesley is Augustus Simmons, whose wife Catherine Athenia is a Coker . Augustus and Athenia have a son named Wesley. By 1880, Wesley Coker is gone, but others in household are still in White Co. Later, Wesley Coker's son? Thomas marries Harriet Goss, dau of John Goss. Thomas and William move to the Hart/Stephens Co. GA later. I can find no trace of this Wesley Coker before or after 1870. I suspect that both he and Athenia Coker are somehow related to Newell and/or Jacob Coker of Elbert Co. I have even wondered if this Wesley could be Jacob W., who is in the household of Newell Coker's widow Catherine Coker in 1850 Walker Co. GA. The age is right, but I can find no evidence. Does anyone know anything about this 1870 Wesley Coker? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Cynthia
