Additional Information: I don't know how Robert CODDINGTON and Mary CODDINGTON (both mentioned below) are related to Robert CODDINGTON b 21 December 1791, who married 26 July 1832 Butler Co., OH to Isabella SINKEY. Isabella was daughter of John SINKEY (1773-1814) (mentioned below) and Mary (SHIELDS) SINKEY-FREEMAN (who married 2nd a George FREEMAN). Mary (SHIELDS) SINKEY-FREEMAN was an Irish immigrant ca (1790) along with her parents (Daniel SHIELDS & Mary) and brothers. John SINKEY and Isabella SHIELDS were the parents of Daniel, James, Charlotte, Isabella, Elizabeth, John Jr., and Jane. I do not know what happened to the SINKEY family, nor where Mary (SHIELDS) SINKEY-FREEMAN is buried. Daniel SHIELDS, wife, accompanied by some of their sons removed from Butler Co., OH to Preble Co., OH where Daniel & Mary died.
