Notes for William Codrington esq.
The Following Codringtons may possibly have been alive in the 1690's

when William was born: Coppleston Codrington, John Codrington

John Codrington was retarded from birth,

Coppleston was alive in 1685, but most likely died in the wars with

the French, possibly the attack on Barbuda in 1690 There are no

records of his marriage or death to date.

Most likely paternity is Gen Christopher Codrington and "Maudlin

Marianus" noted in wills of Christopher Codrington II 1698 and Christopher Codrington

III 1710. The chronology works quite well, and the apparent status of

the child as interpreted from the bequests in the wills indicates he

was treated as a family member or "cousin". - Research continues.
