The Coode male line to Connor Demetrius Coode, b. March 18,
2009 at Winchester Medical center in Winchester, Virginia, USA:
1. Richard
Coode, died 1390, his second marriage, to Johanna Lowys, produced
2. John
Coode, who married Olivia de Waterlete (d. 1423), begat
3. Richard
Coode (d. 1469), who married Johna (?) Tallan, they had
4. Walter
Coode (d.1469), father of
5. John
Coode (b. before 1453), father of
6. Edward
Coode, father of
7. John
Coode (1554-1590, married Blanche ___FN1 ), father of
8. John
Coode (christened 1578, married Margaret Lanion), father of
9. John
Coode (1594?-1672, married Jane Praed/Prade), father of
10. John
Coode (1622-1713, married Grace Robins/Robbins), father of
11. The
Reverend Colonel Sheriff John Coode, who emigrated from Cornwall, England, to St. Mary’s County, Maryland, and
married twice; his first wife, a widow, Susannah Gerard Slye, was the daughter
of Dr. Thomas Gerard. The Gerards were
an extremely prominent family, and can be researched elsewhere, as can the
Reverend Coode himself. He was a staunch
opportunist and ergo anti-catholic; ironic at least, considering that somewhere
between him and # 18 John Coode, Jr., below, we became Roman Catholic. I have heard it was due to the Jesuits, the
Pope’s warriors. He was an enthusiastic
drinker, too, from what I’ve read, and actually drank himself into the gutter
at times. Much of what we read of him is
negative, yet he had to have been an extraordinarily interesting man, and very
ambitious and brazen. That he married
Susannah Gerard Slye for her late husband’s money, and that of her late father
as well, is certainly possible. Her sons
from her marriage to Captain Robert Slye successfully sued Colonel Coode to
regain their birthright following their mother’s death. Captain Slye was one of the wealthiest landowners
in Maryland and a successful politician there and upon marriage to Susannah, her father Dr.
Thomas Gerard gave Robert Slye and Susannah her dower of one-sixth of 'St
Clement's Manor". The dower portion of 1,000"acre tract known as
"White Point". Robert Slye changed the name to "Bushwood"
(Md Archives Liber 53, folio 631-632). Slye can be looked up as well. Among Colonel Coode’s and Susannah’s children was, you guessed it,
12. John
Coode (ca. 1765-1718, m. Ann ____ FN2)
, father of
13. John
Coode (d. 1794)-I think I read somewhere that he’d been recognized for
“Patriotic Service” during the Revolution, so we descendants are probably
eligible for membership in the Sons/Daughters of the American Revolution-a
tolerant, open-minded bunch. This John
begat
14. John
Coode (d. 1809), who married Mary Neale (1775-1864), and they gave birth to
15. John
Coode (ca. 1800-ca.1848), who married Mary Delia Thomas Neale (1814-1890), and
they had
16. Demetrius
Gerard Coode, “Mett,” as he was known by his army buddies. He served the Confederate States of America by
riding with the illustrious John Singleton Mosby, as one of “Mosby’s
Rangers.” This was a famous cavalry unit
that roamed the Virginia countryside and towns
from Manassas to Winchester to Leesburg, where some of his descendants now live and where my little boy,
Connor Demetrius Coode, was born (Winchester). Road-markers are plentiful in the area and Dr.
Joe Flood if you ever visit us from Australia, 1) you’ll never pay for
a hotel room and 2) we will give you the tour.
My baby brother, Stephen Lynn, and my father, Dr. Thomas Hodges Coode,
are the graduate-level historians in the bunch.
Anyway, Mosby and his bunch are easily researched and could use a
screenplay, as could Colonel/Reverend Coode.
Mel Gibson could play Coode to a tee.
I have a copy of the receipt the CSA had to pay Mett, for his late
horse, which was shot out from under the boy, and he was young, 19 or 20, I
believe, when he turns up with Mosby. I
believe that we can join the Sons/Daughters of the Confederacy, another
open-minded bunch. That’s right, to the
typist goes the editorial privilege.
Anyway, this fella married Cornelia Elizabeth Alston/Allston
(1846-1895), and they had
17. John
Demetrius Coode (1870-1960), my great-grandfather and a businessman, a grocer I
believe. He married Margaret Melina Brew
(1867-1963), my great-grandmother, and an Irish woman from county Clare. But don’t blame our love of booze on her
ethnicity; see the Colonel’s bio above.
They gave birth to my (and dear cousins our) grandfather, whom we called
“Poppy,” John Demetrius Coode, Jr. (1898-1964).
He married Ellen Harvey Mankel, “Granny,” (1899-1968), who was of Irish
(O’ Reagan) and Prussian or Bavarian ([von] Mankel-brother Stephen, known to us
as “Grumpy,” says the “von” indicates aristocracy). On September 18, 1931, my father, Dr. Thomas
Hodges Coode, was born, along with his twin sister, whom he adored, Mary
Cornelia Coode. She later took the vows,
as did her little sister, Judy, and became a nun. She took the name Sister Mary Demetrius,
homage I suppose to family tradition and of course to one of the Saints
Demetrius. I believe that she was the
principal of the private Catholic school in Memphis, TN, that Priscilla
Pressley attended when Elvis was-a-courtin.”
Sister Judy can let us know definitely, but I’ve heard that whatever the
school needed, all Sister “D” had to do was ask Elvis. I really hope this one is true. Dad married a Canadian lass, Mary Elizabeth
Martin, whose brother was KIA in the Korean War and whose father survived a gas
attack in WWI. “T.” Coode was in the US Marine Corps in Korea, and has
a BA, MS, JD, and PhD, but no high school diploma, as he ran away from home and
school twice to join the military.
Evidently the second time his daddy didn’t bail him out. Anyway, my dad had a son who gave him fits, I
know, because I’m him,
18. James
Martin Coode, born September 25, 1962, a week to the day after his 31st birthday. My stunning, vivacious
oh-so-young wife Tia gave us a son,
19. Connor
Demetrius Coode, on March 18, 2009.
This is simply a condensation of Uncle Joe’s
work and I can claim no credit for most of it.
Corrections are welcome.
