The only Walker I have in the Stroud genealogy is a John William Walker with no children listed. John Walker married a Katie Watson who's parents were Francis M. Watson & Nancy ( Stroud ). Nancy C. Strouds parents were John Hahn Stroud & Lavisea or Louisa Leak. No parents on Francis Walker. Nancy was the sister to Emeline was born December 29, 1862 named after no doubt Emeline was born December 29, 1827 . JWMcKinstry 2007

Dear Mrs. Walker,
Your letter received yesterday - yesterday received letter from your mother at Neodesha - will write her later - My name is Lora Lee Coon, daughter of George James Coon, who was the son of William G. Coon and Emeline Stroud - Emeline was born December 29, 1827 Married to W.M. G. Coon, December 16, 1852 - Died June 6, 1900. George John Coon was born July 15, 1858 died August 17, 1932. I think Emeline was the daughter of James & Elizabeth Haun Stroud - married June 18, 1815. I have records from Stroud family Bible from John Stroud born July 15, 1758. Plan to come by & see you - will drop a card if I know in time Thanks for your letter.
Location of the Stroud Bible at this time was with a John Stroud born July 15, 1858.
Lora Lee Coon was the daughter of George James Coon who was the son of William G. Coon.
Lora Lee Coon was the wife of Charles Sailing.
Lora Lee Coon contains Lee as a middle name. ( Is this another name in reference to a connection to the word of mouth handed down story that the Stroud family was related in some way to General Lee?
Emeline was born December 29, 1827 was believed to be the daughter
