Seems unlikely they're the same person given two different addresses. I'm not surprised that there are two Samuel's, given that I think there may be as many as three!) I was looking for Susanna Coddington's husband when I found this. I don't think Susanna is listed in any prior Dayton directories. --------------- A book titled "Enumeration 96" which is mostly an index to all kinds of records around 1800 lists William Coddington in Montgomery county and in Washington Twp (also Montgomery co) entries are for 1807, 1809, and 1810. So far he's the only candidate I've seen for Susanna's husband, but this is wishful thinking on my part! ------------------- That "obit" for Susannah Codington in 1876 is just a listing by name of everyone who died the week ending 2/12/1876. I checked backwards for a week and did not find a individual death notice for Susannah (I would have expected another index entry if there was one.. This is a fairly common occurrence in these newspapers). ----------------- >From Lindsay M. Brien's book titled "Register of Marriage Certificates recorded in Montgomery Co, Ohio, July 26, 1803 to July 20, 1851, page 58: Coddington, Amy - Samuel Cletch (sp), Feb 3, 1838 (is marked that this was the date issued, but certificate was not returned) ----------- The marriage index entry for John J. Myers and Phebe Ann Codington, dated Jan 13, 1853 is from Rose Shilt's book titled "Marriage Affadavits of Montgomery Co, Ohio, March 29, 1824 to Sept 19, 1857, page 81. The library doesn't have scanners and since I've installed Vista at home, mine no longer works. I might try photographing a couple pages to send, but my experience has been that I can photograph a paragraph reasonably well, but whole pages are a problem. --------------- >From Wayne Webb's book titled "Montgomery County Ohio Wills, Administrations and Estates 1803-1918, page 61: Peter Coddington (deceased), administrator/executor was Susannah Coddington, they list a probate packet, but no last will and testament, also possibly an estate case document. This might be another possibility for Susannah's husband assuming it's the same Susannah? There was no date associated with the entry and I don't think the library has any of this stuff on microfilm. I'm seldom able to get to the records center in Dayton since they are only open while I'm at work, so it's unlikely that I'll be able to check that out.
