My great grandmother was Mary Coker, however if your ancestor was born around 1824, that may have been too early for her to have been his child. My great grandmother, Mary Coker married a "Williams", don't know his first name. She lived to be 101 years old and died in the mid 1980's. That would mean she was born sometime around 1884. They all lived in the north Louisiana area.
Her children were Perry, Inez, Edna, Bud and I believe another child named Percy. My grandfather was Perry Earl Williams. He married Lillian Irene Irving. His daughter is Marian Williams (Harrell, then Marsalis) who is my mother. I have more info if you are interested. I would be interested in any info you may have.
1824 may have been a little early for the birth of Mary Coker to have happened during that time frame, however, she may be have been born around

Holiday greetings to everyone,
Celebration time; I finally have DSL.
Need Coker collaborators to assist in entering data on www.werelate.org.
Anyone interested visit the site and take the tutorials.
I am bored with entering all of my data into Legacy; I did enter quite a
bit. Now I will begin entering my most researched families on WeRelate.
The advantages of a site such as werelate are that you are sharing your
data with everyone; anyone can edit the site and add their information,
pictures, source images, etc. After my death, I don't expect anyone in
my family to be the least bit interested in my research so this is one
way to share my research and have someone else take over where I left
off without having to reinvent the wheel.
My first family will be the one cited in the subject line so if anyone
has information or source documents that they can contribute please join
in. If you have another family line, particularly if they are tied to
my research area, which is Alabama, please enter your data.
Best regards,
Beth Gay

COKER:
There is more than one possible explanation for the origin of the English
surname Coker. In the first instance, the name is of local origin, belonging
as it does to that category of names which are descriptive of the place where
the original bearer once lived or held land. In this case, the name is derived
from the place name Coker, the name of two parishes in the English county of
Somerset. The exact origin of the name itself is unclear, although it has been
suggesteD that the name may denote "(crooked?) river".
Early records of this name date from the 13th century. The Hundred Rolls
for Somerset in 1273 list the names of one Thomas Coker of that county, and Adam
Coker of Essex. "Kirby's Quest", compiled during the reign of Edward III
(1327-77), also contains a reference to a certain John De Coker (meaning,
literally "of/from Coker"; early forms were often prefixed with "de").
Alternatively, the name may possibly be a variant of (if not simply confused
tvith) the English surname Cocker. This origin of the name can be traced to
two Different sources. On the one hand, it may be a derivative of the Riddle
English "cocken", meaning "to fight". The name was probably a nickname
attributed to a fighter, wrangler. On the other hand, the name may be
occupational in origin (based on the type of work a man once did), derived from
the Middle English "coke", which signifies "to put up hay in cocks", a haymaker.
The first record of this name Dates from 1198 when one Henry Cokere was recorded
in the Pipe Rolls for Kent.
The name was established in the New World at an early date. The original
ships lists record the passage to New England on 24th March, 1633, of one Robert
Coker, one of many English emigrants aboard the "John and Mary of London".
