  Records supposedly at Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Springdale, Iowa. I have yet to locate the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Springdale. (Brian L. Lightfoot)
  NOTE - This research apparently missed the name of <b>Lillie Elizabeth Corker</b> and perhaps <b>Catharine Corker</b> unless they were the same person. This means there was a total of 9 children, or 10 if Catharine was a different one.
  I am fairly certain that Lily Elizabeth and Catherine were the same person. The name of Catharine appears on the 1850 US Census but the name of Lillie or Elizabeth does not. On the 1860 US Census, the name of Elizabeth does appear but Catharine does not nor is it found on any other census record other than 1850. This would suggest that they could be the same person but I cannot explain how one gets a name of Catharine from the given name of Lillie Elizabeth. One problem with this name association is that the age of Catharine as found on the 1850 US Census does not coincide with the expected age of Elizabeth on the 1860 US Census or even with the name of Lillie on her census records as an adult. Many of the ages given on the 1850 US Census for this family do not coincide with the ages from other census records.
  It is possible that there was a separate daughter named Catharine born about 1846 and died shortly after the 1850 US Census but that does not explain the absence of the name of Lillie Elizabeth from that 1850 US Census.
  One might think that her full given name could have been Catharine Elizabeth but once she was married she seemed to prefer the name of Lillie almost exclusively.

c. Note:   NF12058
Note:   Name: Luke Corker
 Spouse's Name: Judith Ann Wyant
 Event Date: 17 Dec 1868
 Event Place: Cedar Co., Iowa
 Indexing Project (Batch) Number: M58762-1
 System Origin: Iowa-VR

  Citing this Record:
 "Iowa Marriages, 1809-1992," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XJBX-XMQ : accessed 25 April 2016), Luke Corker and Judith Ann Wyant, 17 Dec 1868; citing Cedar Co., Iowa, reference 2:3RBQTGX; FHL microfilm 986,805.
 ----------------------------------------------
  Luke and Judith are shown together in the 1870 Federal Census along with children from both of their first marriages. Included are Luke's children, Esther, Elizabeth, Archy, and Julius as well as Judith's children Frank, Kate, Elizabeth, William, and Otis.
  Judith's children from her previous marriage are all listed as expected with the Wyant surname but the surname listing for Luke's children was improperly entered by the census enumerator and various census databases have mixed up some of the surnames.
  Immediately following Luke and Judith's names is the name of his divorced daughter correctly entered as Esther Pierce. However the next entry was Luke's next youngest children and she was entered with only a given name thereby leading to the incorrect conclusion that her surname and subsequent names would also have the Pierce surname instead of the correct surname of Corker.
  Those children's names are listed only as Elizabeth, Archy, and Julia and their surnames should be Corker. Following those entries, the name of Esther Pierce's young son, William Pierce, appears. The remaining names are all correctly listed as the Wyant children.
