Death? 1852

After the death of her husband in 1818, Elizabeth Coker is found in the 1820 census in Barnwell as head of her household.

  • one male 10 to 16 (Daniel Coker)
  • one female 26 to 45 (Elizabeth Coker)
  • 4 slaves - 3 males and 1 female

James Coker is enumerated as head of his own household. Mary, Lucy, and Julia Coker are not in either household.

Elizabeth is enumerated as the head of her household in the 1830 census in Barnwell.

  • 1 free white male 20 < 30 (Daniel Coker)
  • 1 free white male 30 < 40 possibly son James Coker
  • 1 free white female 50 to 60 Elizabeth Coker
  • 7 slaves
  • 4 males < 10
  • 1 male 24 < 36
  • 1 male 36 < 55
  • 1 female 24 < 36

Elizabeth is most likely the female age 70 and under 80 enumerated in the household of Daniel Coker in 1840; although her age seems to be incorrect.
