I'm always interested in gathering information about branches of the Coker family and would be glad to add more to my files at any time. >From the information I've seen, most of the Southern Coker lines, including my Cokers, came from England to Virginia in the 1600's. My ancestors moved from Virginia to North Hampton, NC and then to Sumter District South Carolina. You can view some of my Coker lineage information at http://www.wp.com/Coker/family.html on the web. My direct line is well documented back to Whitley Coker Sr. who moved from NC to Sumter District, South Carolina between 1781 and 1790. I'm lacking firm proof on the connection of Whitley to his parents. But we have some good ideas about what the connections were. Thanks, Steven J. Coker P. O.
