Just thought that you might be interested to know that William W. Davidson was the son of Baker Davidson and Elizabeth "Betsy" Womack. William was born in Botetourt Co., VA, but after his father Baker Davidson died fairly young there around 1805, it appears that Elizabeth (Womack) Davidson and her five children moved back to her hometown of Prince Edward Co., VA (where Elizabeth died around 1817, as I recall). It looks like Elizabeth's two daughters and three sons all moved to Charlotte Co., VA by about 1819 or so, and William W. Davidson and his brother Archer A. Davidson remained in Charlotte Co., VA until they died (about 1839 and 1853, respectively). The third son named Baker W. Davidson ended-up living in Buckingham Co., VA after about 1830 or so, and he married Ann Hamner Cobbs (her mother was from the same Hamner family that produced the later Earl Hamner who wrote "The Waltons").
William W. Davidson also took in some of the Roach children in Charlotte Co., VA, and his first known wife was Mary Kemp, who was also William's ward before they married. Mary (Kemp) Davidson died in 1826, and William W. Davidson apparently married Frances Williamson over in Campbell Co., VA in 1827.
Baker Davidson's parents were William and Martha (Baker) Davidson (originally out of the Buckingham/Prince Edward Co., VA area; they moved to Botetourt about 1774), and some of their other descendants out of Botetourt Co., VA had illustrious military carrers (including Commander Hunter Davidson, who was the on-board officer in charge of armament for the Confederacy in the famous "Monitor" versus "Merrimac" battle).

The Cody family came from VA into NC as well as the Coody family. I found that the Coody family came from Maryland and that they also settled into the South Carolina area just north of Augusta. They were also in Lincoln County, Georgia.
A book was written on both families and I have lost my Coody book when I gave it to a cousin to read.
According to the writer of the Coody line they were Welsh. The Cody line was from Ireland. Archibald Cody was an trader with the Cherokee and some of that family so I was told mixed with the Indians in the 1700's in Tennessee. This I have never have tried to prove as I was not nor am I now trying to trace the Coody line.
Jimmy Coody was the one who gave me the book and he was in THE ATLANTA RYTHEM SECTION back in the 1970's , I think. His aunt had written the book, I believe.

Look on the Census of Hunt County, Texas and see if she is not there in the area somewhere. I found several of Roberts kids there and their wives and children. That was on the 1930 census.

Don't give up on him. He is out there. When did he die? You can go on line and pull up his S/S no. if he died in the late 1930's.

Hello!
There were several Sarah Cody's in Warren County, Georgia. Trying to match them up is a real mess. One married a Henderson. Where did you find her in the census or what is your source of information?

American journalist Eugene Devlan aka Gene Fowler told John Barrymore (actor) he was the illegitimate son of Buffalo Bill Cody. Gene was born in 1890. Anyone know more about the children that Buffalo Bill aka William Frederick Cody may have fathered? When Gene Fowler interviewed Buffalo Bill one time he insulted the well known frontiersman/showman by asking him about his numerous affairs. Has anyone ever done an expose' on this? Would like to know since my DNA connects me to the Cody line but not sure how or why. My grandmother was born in 1885 and adopted when she was 8 years old. Her mother was Cherokee Indian. Wonder is this is where my missing link connects... since Cody hired Indians for his show. Is there anywhere that there might be a listing of his employees around 1884-85?
