Caroline Elvira Cody From Detroit Al

My g-g-grandmother Sarah Ann Lee married William Serrial Cody about 1889, possibly in Lamar Co., AL.She was born April 1843 probably in Marion Co., AL.He was born March 1823 in TN.He may have been married 3-4 other times.He may have had sons named Arch and Ivan, both born in Texas in 1875 and 1878.William's parents were both born in VA.I don't have any other information about William Cody, but I suspect your Caroline Cody is part of the same family.Francis Marion Lee, the son of Sarah Ann Lee, born before her marriage to William Cody, married Adeline Nichols in 1878 in Lamar Co., AL.Verbie, daughter of Frank and Adeline Lee married Daniel McCleskey. Daniel's g-g-grandfather David McCleskey married Lucy Byrd in GA in 1810.It's probable we are related several ways.William and Sarah were only married 13 years and had no children.They are both buried in East Post Oak Cemetery in Lamar Co., TX.The only other name I have associated with William Cody is Bullard.It is not documented, but I believe Sarah's sister married a Bullard and that their daughter or granddaughter was living with William and Sarah in the 1900 Red River Co., TX, census.I have little information on this family.If you would like to exchange what little information I have, please email.
