Reverend John CORDELL [Parents] 1 was born about 1716 in England. John married Elizabeth EDWARDS about 1740 in of, Wiltshire, England.

B  Looks like an Archive Record, subm:  Anna Marie T. Jeffers; 464 4th St.; Idaho Falls, ID.  Sources:  Hayden, VA genealogies, see p. 638.  "Excursus Cordell."  See Nicholas' notes.  For this reason, I am indicating "of Wiltshire, England" for all the children.

B  See spouse's notes.

B  Archive Record, Fam Rep:  John Terry Jeffers, Subm:  Marie T. Jeffers; 464 Fourth St.; Idaho Falls, ID.  Sources:  Hayden, VA Gen.  Genealogy of the Basye, Cloyd, and Tapp Families, pp. 208-211.  Also, place of birth listed on AF as "of Northumberland, MD," but on AR listed "of Northumberland, VA."

NOTES/LOG:
-- Problem with what was in the Ancestral File and what is on the Archive Record.  On AF, Mary not listed, Catherine was with one wife of his, the other four children listed with another wife (Catherine's date conflicted on both.). On the AR, no other wife is shown for William, all five children listed with Rebecca Martin, and Rebecca listed as having another husband later, which is not mentioned on the AF.  Try to figure out what went wrong.  I have put Mary with Elizabeth.  Double-check, however.
-- Also, children Isaac, Elizabeth, and Sally's dates all changed from what is in the AF to the approximated births in the AR.  Also, place changed from MD to VA as noted in "B" above.
-- Be careful on this FGR.  It doesn't seem likely that Rebecca left her husband and went to another (William Coppedge) in this time period, yes?  This whole family seems to be messed up.  FIX!!!

Rebecca MARTIN [Parents] 1 was born about 1710 in of, Northumberland, Virginia, USA. Rebecca married William BASYE about 1751 in of, Northumberland, Virginia, USA.

Other marriages:
COPPEDGE, William
