I would be grateful for any info on Charity Smith Bird b 18 May 1809 in Mt. Horeb, Warren Twp. She married Isaiah Coddington on 08 May 1831 also in Mt. Horeb. There chidlren were: Manning, Harriet, Isaiah, John Wesley and Enoch. One problem I have is that all of the pedigrees I have seen for her give her maiden name as BIRD. And yet the Rev. Herbert G. Coddington in his "Records of One Line of the Descendants of John Coddington of Woodbridge, N.J." (1907) states that Isaiah Coddington married "Mrs. Charity Bird (formerly Smith)." Has anyone tried to find a Charity SMITH married to a BIRD and then to a CODDINGTON? For those with the BIRD>SMITH>CODDINGTON version, have you found the mysterious Mr. Smith? For the latter version I have: Charity Smith Bird b1809 Parents: John Bird b ?? & Charity Coon b1788 in Piscataway, NJ Parents of John Bird: Unknown Parent of Charity Coon: a nice assortment: 1)Azariah Coon b1750 & Catherine Van Tuyl b abt 1760 (From the Maxine Lines compilation, Peter Coon2 family pages) or 2)Benjamin Coon b ?? & Catherine Van Tuyl ("Descendants of Isaac Van Tuyl, Sr. and Mary McCarter" by Mary Ellenor Stafford Bowman) or 3) Israel Coon b ?? & Catherine Van Tuyl (from Lora Codington, gr granddaughter of Charity Bird)
