Message Board Post:
It turns out that Frank Jerome is probably the son of a David Coddington, born 1807, and Sarah ____. They appear on the 1850 census in Oakfield, Genesee Co. NY, with David as head of household and "Jerome," aged 17. The 1850 census also lists Daniel, aged 20 in Batavia NY, a farm laborer in the household of Benjamin Brewster.
Possibly, Daniel is another son of David, thus brother of Jerome?
But who is this elder David Coddington?
The major Coddington family in that part of New York was that of William Asher Coddington (1804-1880), who married Pauline Graham. They moved to Genesee Co. from New Jersey.
W.A.'s parents were Asher Coddington and Mary Baker, and supposedly W. A. C. was their youngest child.
Perhaps David Coddington (1807-?) was an even younger son of the former? If so, Mary was 45 at his birth.
This implies that two Coddington brothers William Asher and David, moved to western N.Y. from N. J. in the 1830's. William Asher did have a brother named Daniel, so David might have named a son after him.
