Bob, I looked through my files and don't find anything that looks promising. There is a lot of material, but my files are not well organized right now. So, its possible I missed something. But, I don't find anything on the names Delilah Coker, J.L. Champion, Henry Goodwin, Sarah S. Goodwin, or Mary Tune. I do find the names James Coker and James L. Coker, but they don't look like the James you desribed. I haven't filled in all the branches of my Whitley Coker family tree yet, so its possible that this is a branch I don't know about. You didn't give me much to go on. Do you have an idea where any of them were located? The name Delilah seems familiar to me. If I remember anything or find more, I'll let you know. As I get the time, I hope to post more Coker genealogy information on my web pages. Maybe I'll turn something up then. Sorry, Steven J.
