David,
I will respond directly to you, but for the list members, the Coddington data is that Robert, son of James and "Sarah" fought in the revolution and was pensioned. In the documentation relating to that, "Sarah" his mother, stated that he had smallpox and took him to the house of James and Christian Dunham, where she nursed him. Since smallpox is generally conceded to be dangerous, it seems unlikely that a mother and boy with smallpox would be received into the house of strangers during a war. We already know that Joseph Dunham had a sister named Sarah, and her birthdates accord well if she married James Coddington and bore him four sons and daughter while she was 21-27. (I am not so sure about the son John (1765-1801), but that doesn't affect this controversy). If James Coddington died in 1773, Sarah Dunham Coddington would have been free to marry Daniel Noe and have Nathaniel in Sept. 1774. Daniel soon died, and Sarah Dunham Coddington Noe then married William Hodgson.
Too many Sarahs...

The Coddington database "Descendants of Stockdale Coddington" (see URL below) says that Sarah Dunham (1733-post 1792), daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Dunham of Woodbridge, New Jersey, married first James Coddington, second Daniel Noe, and third William Hodgson. I am Noe researcher, not a Coddington genealogist, but this assertion is of great interest to Noe historians. The received wisdom is that Daniel Noe married Sarah Hodgson, and that she was the mother of all his children. If the Coddington site is correct, Sarah was a Dunham and only became a Hodgson after Daniel died in 1777. Even more important, she would be the mother of only his youngest son, Nathaniel, and Daniel would have had another, as yet completely unknown, wife before he married Sarah. Does anyone know anything about this Sarah Dunham, and particularly, do you have any documentation on whom she married and when? Anything that you could offer to shed light on these relationships would be greatly appreciate!
