Mystery solved. I came to the Cody family by way of my Shelton line back in 1700's Virginia, I already had Elizabeth Shelton's lineage who married Charles Harrison Cody MD..... and all of Godfrey Shelton's children and spouses along with some grandchildren.
Then today I decided to add to the Cody descendants and see what I could learn about them.
I began adding from the census and marriage records and it came about that I already had America Davis in my tree!!!
You'll never guess! She was William S Cody's cousin! America was the daughter of Elizabeth's sister Frances Shelton and Edward Gregory. America Gregory b 1824 had married Richard Davis in 1841. Rutherford Co TN. They had one child. I noticed her mother Frances died in 1842.
And of course we have the marriage of America to Wm Cody in 1847. It didn't work out I see as they both remarried. America remarried to a Wm Sherrell in 1852 and Wm Cody married Sarah Swann in 1853. Both America and Wm Sherrell are still living in 1900 Bowie Co TX, but I have not found a gravesite for them. Of course we know that Wm Cody married 4 times.
Anyway....putting 2 and 2 together and wanted to tell you about my discovery.
