Paula, I don't know anything about a Cordelia b. abt 1805. That is puzzling. I have a number of Cordelia's in my little database of families, but none that match that date that are not already connected to another husband. My 4 gr-grandmother Cordelia Coward McCoy Jackson Carman, b. 1777 - married 3 times), was the grandmother of Cordelia Lyons (b. abt 1837) who married Alexander J. Rasberry. The name Cordelia was frequently used in that area of Greene County. In the Coward family the name Cordelia can be traced back to ancestor Cordelia Edwards who married James Roberts, Sr. about 1718. Their daughter Dorcas Roberts married into the Coward family who settled in early Dobbs County, so many families of the area descend from this line and the name Cordelia or Cordilla was given to a number of descendants. Cordelia Coward McCoy Jackson Carman's children by her McCoy husband passed the name Cordelia down through their lines as well.
