biddle/bates/coker/alabama
We have a mystery in our family.My gg grandmother was Sarah(Biddle or Bates)Coker.
She married Thomas Grant Coker. He was born in 1824, in SC.The first place I really find them is in Coosa County AL. We have always been told that she was daughter of William Biddle of NY/Philadelphia. Her father was supposed to have disowned her at the marriage to Mr. Coker as he was part Indian.
The Biddles were "well to do".
Then there is two places that I see Sarah Bates-??????
Then looking in Biddle and Bates forums I find a connectionwith a Biddle marrying a William Bates.
Sarah named one of her sons Nicholas Biddle Coker. I find that Nicholas Biddle is a very common name.
Could someone possibly help me with this problem??
