No, wrong Martha Coker. The Martha that you are refering to is Martha Elizabeth Coker 1872 daughter of William M. Coker and Ellen Cummins. William Coker's Mother is Annie Ratliff who I believe to be 1/2 Cherokee. Annie Ratliff is my ggg grandmother.
Yes, Do you have documentation for John & Annie Ratliff Coker?

My Great Grand mother was Martha Coker, the great grand daughter of Annie Ratliff Coker. Is this the same line that you are working on?
Francis Coker and Francis Coker, Jr. were in Telefair County, Georgia
from before 1820 until 1826 and were in Madison County, Florida by
1831. On the way to Florida Francis, Jr. drew land in 1827 while in
Thomas County, Georgia. These folks are in my direct line. Any
connection to your Cokers?
