My GGGgrandfather was Dempsey Coker my info said his wife's name was Polly Ellison probably the same . only info is that he came from S. C. early 1800 probably around 1830. Children were Maggie, Liza, Polly, Dempsey, Jeff, Louis and John( this is my gggrandfather).
Hi Tom,
In respone to your notes:
1. Thomas Coker, Susanah Coker, administrator, 17 July, 1760.
What county & state? Thomas doesn't fit "our" naming pattern
2. A William Coker received 397 acres in 1766
Rowan, Surry in now Stokes County, NC. Purchased from Ab Whitworth, wit
by
Absalom Jordan. Propety is where Ballew Creek flows into Dan River
next to
county line. Propery was next to Noble Ladd, son of Amos Ladd, who
came to
NC from Fluvanna Co, VA. Neighbor of John Moore, Charles Hulseys, the
Stone
Family, Matlocks, Strange & others. Coker sold this land in 1778 to
Amos
Ladd, son of Noble Ladd. Numerous connections to these neighbors.
3 Joseph Coker of Burke Co, NC.
Records indicate a likely date of birth of about 1753. Charles Coker
was born
about 1751. Charles and Williams dates of birth seem to be close and
Joseph
is much younger suggesting they may have had different mothers.
Charles had
a son mentioned in his estate papers born 1793. He is found later in
Smith Co
along with his brother Warren. The adult Joseph of Burke is likely
the same
Joseph of Greenville Co, SC.
4 The Tory issue.
A complicated issue. We recently had a Presidential election that
found the
nation equally divided resulting in a great deal of contenous
behavior.
Ultimately the nation became one again. I recommend the reading of
Kings
Mountain; It's Men and It's Heroes by Dr Lymon Draper. He explains
in his
work that it was myth to think that there was unanimous support for
the Rev
Cause. He goes on to cite instances and locations in SC & NC where
there
was greater Tory support than Whig. From his work we learn that
Burke Co,
NC seemed to be equaly divided with each side contributing equal
numbers to
the battle at King's Mountain.
There was post war sentiment to punish those with Tory leanings
after the war
but cooler heads prevailed. Col McDowell of Burke Co was one of
those that
spread "oil on the water" in Burke.
You will find that Cokers were often at odds, according to court
records, with
the White, Davenport, Wiseman, and Browning families. They were
all kin.
James Taylor White was the patriarch. Reuben White, son of JTW,
was
killed very early in the War by Indians/Torys.
The Whites, Davenports, Wisemans and their kin also moved on
shortly after
1790 as did the Cokers and their associates. If you check those
families that
were supportive to the Cokers in the court records you will find
they were often
indicted as Torys also.
Pascal Estes and some of his kinsmen of Burke, indicted as Torys
also
moved to Greenville Co and lived next door to the Cokers. In the
1790 census
of Greenville the Hulseys, Matlocks and Estes are shown on
adjoining lines.
Charles Coker moved to Knox Co, TN about 1793/1795. There is a
misdated
Tax record in Burke that makes this issue confusing. The Charles
Coker farm
is today what is Colonial Village in South Knoxville. The Coker
property was
within walking distance to neighbor Gov John Sevier's home.
Sevier's home
is preserved as a landmark and musem today. Sevier was a hero of
King's
Mountain.
Joseph White of Burke Co also came to Knox Co, TN, about the same
time
as Charles Coker. William Coker moved earlier and held a
prominient piece
of property there. About 400 acres on a point of land that
jutted out into the
river. Today the property is occupied by the Univ of Tenn
Hospital and is
just across the river from the U and downtown Knxoville.
The Moores.
The abstracts regarding Edward Lee and Judith Moore are a trap.
They
were poorly abstracted. You have to look at the original
documents to
interprety them correctly and they still are difficult to
understand clearly.
Judith Moore, widow of Edward Lee, was the dau of John Moore of
Fluvanna
Co, VA. Judith with her husband Edward Lee, brother Jesse Moore
and
brother in law, Abraham Strange, came to Burke Co, NC, from
Fluvanna Co,
VA, at the same time. Rebuen White, son of JTW, was their local
guide
who helped find them property.
William "Buck" Coker, son of Charles Coker and his first wife
married the
daughter of Judith Moore and Edward Lee. Her first name is not
known.
Her sister married Deep Waters. So Judith Moore was
step-mother and
mother in law to Buck Coker. We suspect that Buck did not
leave TN
for AR until Judith Moore died about 1813 or 1814.

Hi Beth , Hope you had a great Christmas , looking through old notes and was wondering what films in Pike Co. have you not viewed yet . I'm going to look at some Talladega County films also after the New Year . I'll feel much better finishing up the films in Talladega Co. and Pike as well as Evergreen . The Pike Co. Thomas and Nathaniel Coker is a must to follow up on , this has put another wall in my research , you are going to be a great Genealogist , your always keep me going on my family line of research . I still hope to fine proof of a connection to your family descendants. Maybe I'll find something in the
viewing of the films that could pull our families together . You know the 1840 we know there was a Nathan Coker in Coosa County , was he in Pike County in 1830? Well guess I'll cut this e-mail short . Have a great weekend! Debbie

This land corresponds to land purchased by a Nathaniel Coker in Pike County in the 1830's exactly except that one direction is off. It appears to be the same land and I probably copied the information incorrectly, it is the exact same amount and Section, Township and Range are identical.

Does anyone on this list have access to the marriage records from
Choctaw Co., AL. I have a copy of FTM CD #3, but Choctaw Co. is
missing. Specifically, I am hoping to find any information relating to
the identity of Gallant C. Coker's wife. It appears that he was working
in Choctaw Co, as a 22 year old laborer, as reported on the 1850
census. I have a photo of her, but no name to go with it.
Any help would brighten my day.

Doesn't sound like my uncle Otis. He was born in 1881 or 82 in Texas and
moved to OK. I don't think that was him but Otis is an uncommon name and
there might be some connection.

Hello
I have been reserching the Coker family line for 4 years now and have been
looking for a Otis Coker. My great grandfathers name was Otis and he was half
Indian. But he grew up around Bluejacket Ok. that is in the north east corner
of Ok. He was placed in a indian orphanage when he was very young. Does any
of this sound like your Otis Coker

I have no idea where in Tennessee they were from and no idea where in
Arkansas they moved to. All I know is Calvin Coker was born in Arkansas and
his father was born in Tennessee. This is on the census.
