Martin Luker
In looking at Martin Lukers age on the 1820, 1830 and 1840 censuses, it appears that the Susan Luker that married Dickerson Lumpkins is of an age that she could be Martin's sister or Luranah's daughter. Since he lived in Jones County maybe they got married there. ............Morgan County, GA Estray Records 1811-1820

Naomi Luker
m Sept. 1794 Jesse Sampley, Columbia Co GA
marriage bond to Jesse Sample dated 1 Sept. 1794, Columbia County, GA. The bond was signed by Jesse Sample and John Kelly( he made his mark - I). It was witnessed by Henry Ray and Hannah Gardner. Lewis Gardner was the Register of Probate for the County of Columbia.
Jesse was son of John Sampley/Sample. Naomi was the daughter of William and Luraney/Luraneh Luker,sometimes listed as Lucre. William died in 1812 in Morgan Co. Georgia. Luranah died after 1840 probably in Meriwether Co. Georgia.

Published in the Southern Christian Advocate July 2, 1847. copy from South Carolina Archives.
Naomi Sampley, daughter of W. and L. Lucre and wife of Jesse Sampley, was born in Edgefield Dis, S. C. After earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with her house which is from heaven for forty-eight years, on the 19th May 1847, in DeKalb Co. Ala. welcomed death as a friendly messenger. During her illness, which continued but few days, she manifested an entire submission to the divine will. She frequently rejoiced with joy unspeakable, considering that her light affliction, which was but for a moment, worked for her a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. She had adorned the Gospel by being an acceptable member of the M. E. Church forty-eight years: having found peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ at the age of twenty. She, as did Israel of old, while upon her death bed, sat up and prayed the divine blessing upon her children, and exhorted them to meet her in heaven. James Cox
