If any of you are descended from this family please contact me. I am
creating a preliminary research report on this couple and their
descendants. Does anyone know if their daughter Lulu, possibly Roberta
Lulu Lambert married a Gulledge [Golledge?] and lived in the Indian
Territory, Chickasaw Nation, Ardmore in 1900?
Best regards & Happy New Year,

Hello, Mr Stipes
You seem to have a lot on the Cokers and I wonder if you could help me out
with mine. Through a process of comparing family tradition with records
available and research done by others, I think I have found my gr
grandmother's parents, but have no real verification.
Do you have any info on descendents of Armon Coker b.1810/SC, son of John
Coker and Annie Ratliff? Particularly his 2 daughters, Jenny (some say it's
Penny) and Nancy D. I beleive that Jenny is my gr grandmother who married
Frank Lout in Shelby Co, TX, abt 1870/1872
Anything you have would be appreciated.
Lynn Raymond
Dear list,
This is a preliminary research report on the above, all derived from
online sources; I do not have any of the actual images other than
Ancestry census images. Due to the problems with identity theft, I have
excluded the names of the living or possibly living; although this
information is available online. If you have any questions,
corrections, comments, please contact me at the above email address.
Have a great holiday.
Best regards,
Beth G.

COKER, RONALD L.
Rank and organization: Private First Class, U.S. Marine Corps, Company M, 3d Battalion, 3d Marine Division (Rein), FMF. Place and date: Quang Tri Province, Republic of Vietnam, 24 March 1969. Entered service at: Denver, Colo. Born: 9 August 1947, Alliance, Nebr. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a rifleman with Company M in action against enemy forces. While serving as point man for the 2d Platoon, Pfc. Coker was leading his patrol when he encountered 5 enemy soldiers on a narrow jungle trail. Pfc. Coker's squad aggressively pursued them to a cave. As the squad neared the cave, it came under intense hostile fire, seriously wounding 1 marine and forcing the others to take cover. Observing the wounded man lying exposed to continuous enemy fire, Pfc. Coker disregarded his safety and moved across the fire-swept terrain toward his companion. Although wounded by enemy small-arms fire, he c!
ontinued to crawl across the hazardous area and skillfully threw a hand grenade into the enemy positions, suppressing the hostile fire sufficiently to enable him to reach the wounded man. As he began to drag his injured comrade toward safety, a grenade landed on the wounded marine. Unhesitatingly, Pfc. Coker grasped it with both hands and turned away from his wounded companion, but before he could dispose of the grenade it exploded. Severely wounded, but undaunted, he refused to abandon his comrade. As he moved toward friendly lines, 2 more enemy grenades exploded near him, inflicting still further injuries. Concerned only for the safety of his comrade, Pfc. Coker, with supreme effort continued to crawl and pull the wounded marine with him. His heroic deeds inspired his fellow marines to such aggressive action that the enemy fire was suppressed sufficiently to enable others to reach him and carry him to a relatively safe area where he succumbed to his extensive wounds. Pfc.!
Coker's indomitable courage, inspiring initiative and selfless devoti
on to duty upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and of the U.S. Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.

I'm sorry but that info was not on the tombstone. Maybe some one on the Coker Board can answer the question.
