Bryan Bryant Coker (abt 1710-1770) married Agatha Tinsley d/o John and Susannah Chiles of Halifax Va (I have copy of will as support) died Craven Co SC in 1770. I am seeking info on the Bryant/Bryan Coker line. I have records of tithe tables and military but cannot find Bryan in Craven Co early land records. I found his son Joseph and Nelly Ellinor? (my line) and Agatha's brother Menoah Tinsley as far back as 1768, but nothing on Bryant nor Agatha. Agatha and Menoah's sister Rachael married John Cargill with the same migration pattern.Menoah married Elizabeth Cargill sister of John.
Supposedly Bryan and Agatha had: Joseph abt 1735,Thomas abt 1740,William abt 1742,Nathan,abt 1738. I found Bryan and Joseph together in Lundenburg Va which helps to seal this line.My Coker line married into the Garys of Laurens DAR approved. I have not found information on Nelly Ellinor wife of Joseph who died in 1786 Laurens SC. I am speculating she might be Ellinor younger sister of Rachael and Menoah Tinsley mentioned in John Tinsley's will. I cannot find proof of this but dates, family relationships and locations would support this.If you have found anything on Bryan (spelled this way in early records) (Bryant) and his children please share.Thanks so much! This is a difficult Coker line to research.
