1900 TN census records show John L. Coker as head of household and in charge of his two younger brothers, Homer and Thomas. From this, I assume the parents were both deceased. However, they could have gone to Texas with others, and left their children behind.
I have court records (case of J. R. Davis and his wife, Cinda Coker Davis vs. Wm. F. Coker et al) indicating that William Coker and wife, Mary Ellen Barker Coker were present in court in 1894.
