Linda,
I am not aware of any Coddington on the Mayflower. I don't believe that was the case. William Coddington, the first Gov of Rhode Island, was a member of the Massachusetts Bay Company in Boston when he first came to America but he was not a 'Plymouth Rock Pilgrim'.
You can view my file at www.rootsweb.com, WorldConnect Project. You can start with James Coddington (1530-) and work your way down to present. I am not aware of a John Coddington with three marriages. I think a review of my file will clear up a lot of your questions. Thank you. Merlyn

Hi Merlyn,
I have talked to the daughter of the Codding Family that had the letters, and she has agreed to let me send you the copies of the letters that she sent me.
I will do that as soon as I get them copied. Tried to scan them but did something wrong and they didn't come out.
Merlyn, in your files do you have any names of Coddington's that came across on the Mayflower? Sorry I don't have any specific names but my cousin remembers my Aunt mentioning that we had relatives with that name that came across on the Mayflower. I think if you might have all the Children of John Coddington from his three marriages we might have a connection there, not sure though. I don't have his second wife's maiden name only her first name Mary, did she have a son?. Any help that you could give me would be appreciated, Thank You, Linda LKA51344(a)aol.com
