  General Notes:

"...During the summer I anticipate being able to get some valuable additional data regarding my grandfather Joseph Coddington's parents and grandparents, by making a trip to the State of Kentucky and Virginia and search the probate records of each county and see if some facts of record cannot be obtained; I have a record of James Coddington in Roanoke Country, Virginia, date 12 Feb 1776, and this being only a short distance from the Kentucky country, and then the Leepers all came from Penna. Virginia North Carolina and Tennessee and Kentucky, especially Augusta county, Virginia, also that John Coddington in 1609-1624 with 13 others endorsed Captain John Smith's history of Virginia, as being true. He also stood by Capt. John Smith in his trials during the Settlement of Jamestown."
