Message Board Post:
I am also researching African American Cokers. Mine are from Marion Co., AR, and later Joplin, MO. My great-grandfather was George W. Coker, born in the 1850s. He married Anna Stinnett. His sister Lettie Coker married Anna's brother, Thomas Stinnett. His sister Lizzie Coker married Anna's other brother, John Stinnett. They all lived in the Yellville area until after 1910, then moved to Joplin, MO in time for the 1920 census. Thomas and Lettie and John and Lizzie also lived in Muskogee, OK for while. I don't know where they were before Arkansas - all the census records I've seen say they were born there.
George and Anna's children were Maud, William, Logan, Lonnie, Myrtle, Randolph and Bertha.

I am not related to the Cokers but in the 1880 Census I found Reubin M. Coker with Louisa Oaks listed as a member of this household. I think this may have been my Great Grandmother. If anyone knows about this family, would you please contact me. Thanks.

Newell Coker is the son of Jacob Coker (brother of my GGG-grandfather Isaac Coker).
They are sons of Joseph Coker and Mildred Kendrick Coker. Joseph is said to be the son of Charles Coker of Devonshire, England, but I have not been able to prove that.

Wm Lambert was married before, with children, and married Frances Coker in
June 14
1865 in Alcorn Co, MS after his wife died and had the children you listed.
Frances Coker's mother, Temperence (Starling) Coker, married G W Carpenter
in Mar 12 1863, in Ittawamba Co, MS and he died by 1870, so she was listed as
Tempa Carpenter with her dau Parolee in the 1870 census ( Parolee marries
1873) living with her other dau Fannie Lambert. In 1880 she is listed back as
Temperence Coker (mother in law)

The William Lambert, age 18, in Coosa County, Alabama is not the correct
William Lambert. This was a rather strange household. Frances Coker was
the same age as William's daughter Mary Elizabeth Lambert and Frances
was only 3 years older than his son William Lambert.
William Lambert was younger every ten years; I wish that I could do that.
I have been unable to find him on Ancestry in the 1850 census.
In 1860 Wm. Lambert and household are enumerated in the census in
Franklin County, Alabama. His household consists of Wm. 47, born in
Alabama, assumed first or second wife, Margaret, 32 born in Tenn.; Mary
E. Lambert, 12, born in Alabama; Wm. Lambert, 7, Tenn.; John D. Lambert,
4, Tenn; Edward D. Lambert, 2, Ala.
In 1870 his household is enumerated in Tishomingo, Ms. William Lambert
is still 47 years old, AL; Fannie, 22, says born in GA; Elizabeth, 22,
Ala [Mary E. in 1860]; William, 19, says born in AL; Daniel 16 [ John D.
in 1860], says born in AL; Edwin 13 [Edward D. in 1860], born in AL;
Delia, 10, AL; Mathew, 8, MS; Willie, 4, MS; Lula, 2 MS; Noah, 1 MS and
Carpenter, Tempa, 65, GA; Carpenter, Paralee, 25, GA.
In 1880, this census transcription from Family History Library, in
Tishomingo, MS. Wm. Lambert had finally reached the age of 55, AL;
Fannie, wife, 31 AL; Delia, 18, AL; Matthew, 16, MS; Willie, dau., 14,
MS; Lulu, 12, MS; Noah, 10, MS; Dosia, dau. 8, MS; Joe, son, 5, MS;
Russell, son 2; MS; Charlie, son, 5, MS and Temperance Coker, mother in
law, age 64, Born in TN.
From the census and marriage data, William Lambert and Frances Coker
had the following children: Willie, Lula, Noah, Dosia, Joe, Russell, and
Charlie. There could be additional children.
Question is the Tempa Carpenter and Paralee in 1870 actually Tempy and
Paralee Coker or someone else? Tempy in 1850 was 30 years old and in
1860 she was 40 years old so in 1880 her age would have been 60.

Hi Charles,
Thank you for this information. I located marriage records on Ancestry
for Frances Coker and the second marriage of Noah L. Coker. Frances
Coker married William Lambert on 14 June 1865 in Alcorn County,
Mississippi. I located William Lambert in 1850 enumerated in the census,
age 18 in Coosa County, Alabama, Hatchet Creek.
Noah L. Coker married Manima Cowley on 6 October 1860 in Monroe County,
Mississippi. On ancestry her name is listed "Nania Gowley". Not
surprising as Ancestry has Noah B. Coker in the 1840 census in Bibb Co.
indexed as Real B. Cohn. You have to be a good detective to locate
people on Ancestry.
Do you know what happened to James M. Coker, husband of Tempy?
Best regards,
Beth G.
