Luther Hunt “Boot” Coker [E19a8g8], son of Mariah Carol East and William Silmon Coker, was born 31 October 1892 at Dadeville, Tallapoosa Co AL. In 1900 he was “Luther H Coker” living at Eagle Creek in Tallapoosa Co AL with his parents and siblings; in 1910 he was “Luther H Coker,” a boarder in the Albert S Britt home at Jacksons Gap, Tallapoosa Co, living two doors from his brother William S, and close to his sister Winnie and her husband Ringo Milner. Luther was a farm worker, so he probably worked on the Britt farm, or on his brother’s farm. In 1920 “Luther H Coker” (Picture) lived in the same area, but now married and was living next door to his sister Winnie. Luther’s wife in 1920 was Maggie, born 31 January 1898 in (Denton Co?) TX of AL parents. Luther was age 27 (born 1892). And in 1920 Luther and his wife had a son named Bazell born in 1918. This same couple, “L H Coker” and wife Maggie, are found living in Denton Co TX in 1930, with son and daughter Elma. The Denton Co Luther (Picture) of 1930 was age 37, born in AL. So what had apparently happened was Luther, in the mid-1910s, moved to Pilot Point, Denton Co TX and found work there (there were a few Coker families in the area in 1910). He met his future wife Maggie D _____ (Hammon?) and married her in 1917 before June 5 when he registered for the draft in Denton Co, then in January 1920 he and his wife and son were living back at Tallapoosa Co AL, and by 1927 were living back in Denton Co TX where their children were born.

      Luther died at Terrell, Kaufman Co in a hospital five days afer he suffered a heart attack. Since the distance from Pilot Point in Denton Co where he lived, to the Terrell hospital is substantial, it is unlikely that his family rushed him to Terrell when he had his heart attack, especially when Denton or Dallas had closer hospitals. Therefore, he must have been in Kaufman Co for a visit. He died on 9 May 1956 an noon; his death certificate said he was a son of “William Silmon Coker” and “Marriah Madona East.” This information was taken from hospital entrance records. Those records also said he was born at Jacksons Gap, AL, yet Luther himself stated that he was born at Dadeville when he filled in his draft registration. Luther was buried in Pilot Point Cemetery, as was his son Basil, and wife Maggie. His wife Maggie Delena _____ died at Pilot Point on 18 June 1981. Their known children were all born in Denton Co -*

a.    Basil C Coker, b 14 Mar 1918, died at Pilot Point, Denton Co TX on 21 October 1982. In does not appear that Basil ever married. (TXbd,Z, 258w,348fc)

b.   Elma Coker, b 1927 (348f) Obit for Buster Walling “B W” Beaty said he died 20 August 2004 in San Antonio, age 77. He was born 20 September 1926, son of Clyde & Belle Walling Beaty. He married Elma Coker on 21 February 1958 at Ada, OK. Buster was an accountant for Gulf Oil. His wife Elma survived him and lived at San Antonio. They had two sons (David Kent Beaty of Oklahoma City & Lt Col Alan Keith Beaty, and Alan’s wife Kim) and three grandchildren. Services were held at Pilot Point, but he was not buried in the Pilot Point Cemetery as were Elma’s brother and parents..

Until we see a marriage record for Maggie and Luther, all we can do is guestimate who her family was. The only Maggie D born in January 1898 in TX and living in Denton Co in 1900 was Maggie D Hamman, daughter of David E Hamman and Mary E _____. That Maggie was born in Denton Co.

There is a Tallapoosa Co marriage record for a Homer L Coker on 16 December 1914, to Lela Vines, and the 1920 census shows Homer Coker living at Jacksons Gap with his wife Lela. She was age 25 (born about 1895) and he was age 24 (born in 1896). Their son was Hoyt, born 1916. And also in their home was Homer’s brother Joe Coker, age 32 (born 1888). Everyone was born in AL. The 1930 census of Tallapoosa Co AL shows “Homer L Coker” and wife Lela; she was born in AL, in 1894. Social Security records and the 1930 census record say she was born in AL on 16 December 1894 and died at Alexander City in Tallapoosa Co in January 1977. The Homer L and Lela Coker in Tallapoosa Co in 1930 were ages 35 (born 1895 or so). Their sons in 1930 were Hoyt Coker and Gaines Coker. Homer Coker died 24 March 1947, and was buried in Rock Springs Baptist Church Cemetery, at Jacksons Gap. In 1900, at Jacksons Gap, there was the James M Coker family. James’ wife was Margit M. Both were born in AL, and they had seven children; the youngest was “Homer L Coker,” born in September 1895. And of course, the 1900 census also shows William S Coker and his wife Mariah C living at Eagle Creek in Tallapoosa Co. This couple had a son “Luther H Coker,” born in November 1890. So there were two sons with similar names. The one who was a son of Mariah Carol East always gave his name with the initials or names starting “L H,” while the man three years younger and who married Lela always gave his name with the name / initials “H L.” The younger man was Homer Lee Coker, born at Jacksons Gap, Tallapoosa Co on 7 September 1895. It would be a big coincidence for cousin Homer L to be living next door to Winnie in 1920, but it would be far more likely for her brother to live next door. (M,Z,TXd,348ufc, 258uvwfm, 337d)

Andrew was the informant for Lillie’s death certificate, and much of his information was not quite accurate. He claimed that Lillie was born in 1867 while census records show 1864; he said her mother was Mary Nichols and her father was Erwin East. Lillie was not shown in 1870 with her family, but a son William W was, of the same birth date as Lillie. In 1880 Willie was gone, and Lillie was shown. The 1870 census taker must have had bad hearing. (W,KSqr,1206r, 1117rsuv,1204wd)

      George Alexander Davis [E4c6c2e8e], son of Andrew J Davis and Jemima J Dodson, was born 30 December 1854 at LaPlata, Macon Co MO. The one source who says George married married Icybinda Taverner about 1904, and she was born in 1885, must be in error. That name for Ms Taverner must be a nickname, and a Taverner marriage with George A Davis never happened. There was no Icybinda Taverner in 1900, and she was not found on any census after then. George A Davis, son of Andrew J and Jemima, was still single in 1880, living in Macon Co with his parents. He was likely the George A Davis who married Josie Owsley about 1891 and they moved to Bloomfield, Davis Co IA (or already lived there?). His brother Drury Davis [E4c6c2e8c] had a son named William A Davis who also lived at Bloomfield about this time. George A’s wife Josie was born in MO in March 1870. George A, at Bloomfield, was a carpenter. In 1910 this family lived at Longmont, Boulder Co CO; George’s wife was named Josephine in the 1910 census. He was an assistant manager of a religious organization then. In 1920 and 1930 at Longmont, he was a cement building contractor. Only their son Edgar was still at home then. George died at Longmont on 30 January 1944. Josephine died there on 8 December 1948. They had three children-

1.   Madge Davis, b 28 Jan 1892

2.   Urba Lester Davis, b 14 Sep 1894

3.   Edgar Owsley Davis, b 24 Jun 1897

The only MO marriage about 1904 between a Taverner woman and a Davis man was on 7 November 1906 in Pettis Co between Mr G W Davis and Nellie Taverner. In 1910 they lived in Cooper Co. This George W Davis was born 20 October 1858 in Ozark Co MO, son of George W Davis and Nancy Stapp, and died 9 January 1934 in Cooper Co. His wife Nellie was born in 1883, both in MO. They had three daughters. (W,577qrs,1117uwf,483u, 799vw)

A Mr George Davis married Mariah M Mahan in Cooper Co on 2 March 1856. She was born about 1837 in MO. This George Davis was born in March 1823 in AL of parents from AL and GA, so he was not a son of Nancy P East and Drury Davis. (W,1155j, 1117ksu)

Louis and Matilda and their three eldest children were born in Canada. The next four children were born in IL. They came to the US about 1848. Louis Regnier’s next door neighbor was Belone Regnier and his wife Sophie Boudreau; they were born in L'Acadie Parish, Saint Jean Co Prov Quebec, Canada (25 miles southeast of Montreal) in 1820 and 1824. Their last four of eight children were born in IL, and the four eldest were born in Canada. This family came to the US about 1849 also. They had a son Jean Baptiste Regnier, born in 1848 in Canada, buit no son named Julius or Julien. None of these Regnier families were found in IL in 1850. (CAd,W, M,1205q, 515qs,KSqr,1206rsu)

      Mary Jane Davis [E4c6c2e6], daughter of Nancy Peyton East and Drury Oliver Davis, was born in 1824 in Cole Co MO. She married Daniel Austin White in Cooper Co on 1 January 1841 and they lived at Hannibal, Marion Co where he was a carpenter. He was born in NC in 1817. Daniel must have died soon after 1850 because Mary Jane married George Sargent in Howard Co on 25 May 1854. George was born about 1820. He and Mary had three children-*

a.    Joseph Sargent (W)

b.   George Sargent (W)

c.    Rebecca Jane Sargent, b 30 Jan 1860 in Howard Co MO. (W) (W,1155j, 1208n,577m)

      Mary Jane Davis [E4c6c2e11c], daughter of Daniel East Davis and Martha A Moore, was born 10 October 1854 near La Plata, Macon Co MO. She married Stephen W Stout on 1 May 1874 in Cedar Co MO and in 1880 they lived in Grand River Twp, Cass Co. He was born in MO in 1855, son of Isaac Stout and Sarah P, and grew up in Wyandotte Co KS. He probably died after his daughter Emma was married in 1891, then Mary Jane married Edward James Anderson in Douglas Co MO on 17 March 1898. They at first lived at Finley, Douglas Co MO (about five counties southeast of Cass Co). In the 1900 census, Mary claimed that she had six children with five still alive. But so often, that is the husband answering the census taker, not the wife.

      In 1880, Edward and his first wife Ruth Kessinger (born 1853 in MO, died 1894 in MO) lived in Douglas Co MO, and by 1880 she and Edward had four children, none of whom were the younger Anderson children born in the 1883-1891 range who lived with Edward and Mary Jane Davis in 1900 in Douglas Co. So apparently the 1900 census that showed that Mary Jane had six children with five still alive was Mary Jane answering the census taker, not Edward. There is no evidence that Mary Jane and Edward had children.

      Mary and Edward moved to Bayside, TX where Edward died on 21 September 1921 and Mary died 8 November 1921. Mary’s daughter “Mrs E L Downs” of Bayside was the informant for Mary’s death certificate. Mary Jane was buried at Bayfield. Edward died at Bayside on 21 September 1921. He was a store merchant, born 8 August 1853 in Cambria Co PA. His marriage with Mary was his second; he had children from his first Ruth Kessinger who were born in the 1883-1891 years in MO and lived with him and Mary Jane in 1900. Mary and Stephen Stout had three known daughters, born in Cass Co MO; one remained in MO when Mary moved to TX, the eldest daughter also went to TX, and one daughter probably died soon before 1900. Who the other three were is yet unknown-

1.   Emma Lee Stout, b 23 May 1875

2.   Lila E Stout, b 1877

3.   Annie E Stout, b abt 1880

4.   Alice Stout, b 25 Sep 1883

5.   child Stout, b abt 1880, was alive in 1900, perhaps living with older relatives. (1157u)

6.   child Stout, b abt 1880, was alive in 1900, perhaps living with older relatives. (1157u)

The eleven children of Edward James Anderson and his first wife Ruth Kessinger were all, except the eldest child, born in Douglas Co MO: Mary Lucinda, born 1874 in AR, married Frederick Ross Crawford in 1894, and died in 1911; Sarah Isabelle, born 1875, married Solomon Bragg in 1895, and died in 1954; Martha Irene, born 1877, married William Nicholas Crawford in 1897 in Douglas Co, and died 1938 in Douglas Co; Malissa Jane, born 1883, married Dolphin Alexander Cole in 1897 in Douglas Co; Alice Caroline, born 1883, married William Stout in 1902, and died in 1954; William Edward, born 1885, married Annie Stout about 1907, and died in 1942; America Elizabeth, born 1886, married George Washington Pruitt in 1897 in Douglas Co and died in 1924 in Jasper Co; Charles Robert, born 1887, married Alice M Moore in 1907, and died in 1966 in Greene Co; James E, born 1889; Emily U, born 1891, married William King in 1907, and died 1974; and a son born & died in 1994 with the mother Ruth.
