1880 US: Union, Union, Oregon, NA T9-1084, FHL 1255084, p. 153B [unsure why births are shown as NY for William and his parents but this is definitely the right person considering Cora's first marriage was to a Robbins]:
Wm. Stoker, marr., 48, NY, NY, NY, farmer.
Cora, wife, 32, IL NY NY.
Charley Robbins, other, s, 16, IA IN IL.
1900 US: Presumed to be in Union, Union, Oregon; however, the census is very poor and unreadable so I cannot confirm even though I can make out some Stokers by last name only.
1910 US: Union Precinct #1, Union, Oregon, p. 172a, dwelling and family #32:
William M. Stoker, head, 75 m. once for 44 years, OH NC OH, retired farmer.

Asmer Lamb, father-in-law, 64, widower, UT UT UT [note this may be erroneously listed with this family and may actually belong to the family above who are from Utah - appears numbering may be off by one line since Asmer is younger than anyone in the Stoker family making it impossible to be a father-in-law.]
William Stoker, head, 84, m, IL NC OH.
Cora O., wife, 73, m. IL OH IL.
Michael Stoker, brother, 79, s., IL NC OH, farm laborer.
BIRTH:
1. Per cemetery record.
2. Per sealing to parent ordinance record cited below.
MARRIAGE:
1. May have been married before Stoker to a ___ Robins/Robbins. Some family group sheets showed William Stoker married to Lora Clark Robbins. We now know the name Cora is correct and not Lora and her maiden name was Clark. Judging from 1870 census, she was probably previously married to an unknown Robbins since she has a young child by the name of Charley Robbins. Marriage to William Stoker was approx. 1866 per information with 1910 census.
