Margaret, Much interested in the COKER items you mention, and would love to see the info. Good chance John Coker (San Jacinto article) is cousin of Joseph Coker, who left GA for TX after the Civl War. Also looking for anything to do with any LAIRD/LARD in Southeast Texas counties (Jasper, Wood, Shelby, etc.) They began showing up there in the late 1830s from GA and MS. Cheers, Russell Laird Mt.
