Martha CODDINGTON ¹⁹⁶

  General Notes:

"It appears that there lived in Essex Co. New Jersey, before the Revolution, a certain William Coddington, whose children were William, Robert, Betsy, and Samuel, three of whom were early settlers of what is now Garrett County. The Frazees were also from northeastern New Jersey, and one of them, Judge Jonathan, married Martha, daughter of Benjamin Coddington of Woodbridge, New Jersey, so it is probably that the Frazees induced the Coddingtons to come to Maryland, thus starting the "New Jersey" settlement which included the Ruten and Savage families from the same state--all located on near the old Morgantown road at Selbysport." ²²⁶
