Dear Martha, I guess you and I cousins 7 times over or more. I helped do The stallard Connection in 1981 aand Rhonda Robertson and I are in the process of updating it at the present time. Please add your line. Mary Ann Coker was the daughter of Solomon Coker and Mary I will check but I think she was a Forester. I have photos of Joseph and Mary ann Coker. Now Joseph H. Stallards mother was Mary Jane Forester. She married raleigh Duncan Stallard Jr. I come through their daughter Bestey that married Andrew jackson Dotson . When I get to VA this weekend I will look at my records, they are at my parteners, Rhonda Robertson , we are working on the Stallard update. But I have a Forester History back to Scotland and I can tell you for sure the relationship between Mary Jane Forrester, wife of Raliegh Duncan Stallard Jr. and Mary the mother of Mary ann Coker Stallard. I do know both mothers were closely related and both died and are buried at and near Joseph H. Stallards old home place. I have photos of the tombstones. Taalk to you later. If you come to Second Union let's get together.
