His 2nd wife was Cynthia Hall. They had many children and among them a daughter, Mary "Mollie" Ann Catherine COKER. She married Mathias E. Gary Maggard. They were the parents of John Gary Maggard who was my ggf. His daughter, Jessie Maggard 15 dec1890 married Monroe Butler 8 may 1880. They were my grandparents.
