I am researching the Coker Family, mostly in MS. I am very confused. My great grandfather was John william Coker married Mary Elizabeth Tolar. Their daughter Nancy Tolar was married to my grandfather Brewton. I found that John William father was named Zeno Jeno Coker about 1822. I can't find any info to back this up..Cant find any records of a Zeno or a Jeno...so now I'm not sure if Zeno was name.
This is John William (Bill) Coker and Mary Elizabeth (Mandy) Tolar children.....:
Samuel "Lyles" Coker...1879,MS
James Robert...1881
Thomas Henry...1887
Evans C.....1889
Mary S....1891
William Zeno..1894
Pink Forest...1896
Dewitt C.....1898

This is my grandmother
Nancy "Lottie" Coker..1883

This is all information I have.. I would dearly love some help.
Thank you all

Just a hint about the name Zeno/Jeno......I have an ancestor (not Coker), whose given name was Zenas (a Biblical name). I have found that name recorded with at least 12 different spellings! Zeno and Jeno are two of those spellings.....some others are Zenos, Zenith, Jenos, Senas, Senos, Senis AND Lewis (but I think that was the transcriber's interpretation, not the actual spelling on the original document).

Perhaps this will help you. Good luck in your search!
