    Notes 
    • Lenora's parents were from Tennessee. They moved to Marion County, Arkansas from Missouri in 1854 where Lenora met and married William Coker. Lenora and William had a daughter Mary Adeline Coker. Mary's father was tortured by the bushwackers near the end of the Civil War. He was killed or later died. He had recently sold the slaves and the robbers wanted the gold which was buried and never found. Lenora later married Hiram H. Mitchell. They left Arkansas and settled in southwest Missouri. They had six more children. They moved to the Boatman, Oklahoma area of Indian Territory in 1878, at that time any Indian could have all the land he could care for or fence.
