COGER FAMILY TREE

Daniel and
Hannah Coger produced eleven (11) children:
Rose - born about 1845 in South Carolina
Ellis - born about 1849 in Florida
Benjamin –born about 1851 in Florida
James – born about 1852 in Florida
Josaphine – born about 1858 in Florida
Jefferson – born about 1855 in Florida
Peter – born about 1864 in Florida
Nealy (Cornelia, Anne) – born about 1865 in Florida
Zena (Gerrie) – born about 1866
I believe Zena died early in life; unable to find her in other documents
Edward – born about 1868 in Florida
Clyde – born about 1872 in Florida
Following are Daniel and Hannah’s grandchildren.
Rose Coger married
Elijah Holmes
Joshua Holmes
(Aunt Rose was a granny midwife and delivered many of the family babies. She lived with several family members to help the women immediately after birth. Aunt Rose delivered all of the following family members’ children: Audrey Coger, Bessie Woodson, Maggie Golden and Carrie Weaver. We know she delivered other babies; however, we cannot document the other families at this time. Apparently Aunt Rose had more than one child. While in slavery she and her husband would often run away. Each time she was caught; as punishment, one of her children was sold. I believe Aunt Rose was the family’s first “nurse”.

Zena (??Gerrie) Coger –
I believe Anne died at an early age. Hannah stated in the 1900 US Federal Census that she gave birth to eleven (11) children; however in June of 1990 only ten (10) children were reported. I have been unsuccessful in finding Zena(??Gerrie) in subsequent documents and all the family members I’ve interviewed do not remember her.
