My great-grandmother, Rebecca Angeline Day was married to Hiram Coker aka L.M Coker.

Rebecca is often listed as "Lina" in census records.

A relative lists Rebecca's father as "Andrew Day"
but I have no confirmation. Some family rumors state that her parents weren't officially married and her mother's name may have been Rebecca as well.

My grandfather, her son stated that Rebecca and her brother H.A. Day were both orphans raised by their grandparents...so I am unsure as to whether the "Andrew" listed is really her father or grandfather...no solid connections just family rumors.

Rebecca is buried in the Salem Baptist Church Cemetery along with many of the Coker's and her brother and his family in Fitzgerald.

1920 census extract Forsyth Co.

Willie was actually a daughter believe it or not and the Unnamed son was "Egbert "Slo" Coker"

there was another daughter later "Minnie Ruth" whi after a bought with scarlet fever was mentally retarded the rest of her life and an infant who died at about 1 year of age, listed in the death index.

If anyone out there has any info about Rebecca Angeline in regards to who her father/grandparents were I would appreciate it.
