I don't have any information to help you, but would be interested in anything you turn up. One of my Davis girls supposedly married a "Roddy" but have no further information. Thank you.

An AugustusAugustin Roddy is reported to have immigrated to Mississippi by 1889. This would be about a year before Augustus 2 was born. There is also a Richard/Richardo Roddy there, as well. > > In 1805 a state Census for Mississippi was taken, in which Augustin Roddy has 2 males over 21; 2 males under 21; and 2 females; and one slave. > > There is no way that this is the same Augustus Roddy as is listed in the 1850 Census, as he would be only about 15 years old, thus one of the males under 21, in my opinion. > > Another researcher has the following: > > Edward "Eduardo" Roddy born in St. James Parish, Ireland had two brothers Richard and Augustin. They came to America together. It seems that Edward went back to Ireland, Richard is in Ascension Parish, Louisiana in 1810 and we know that Augustus stayed in Mississippi. > > I would like to correspond with you, on the Felter family, if you like. ethel71360@yahoo.com. > > Thank you, > > Ethel > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to MSWILKIN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to MSWILKIN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
