Cody Family Association Handbook Directory 1952

"Because the first five generations have been so adequately covered in Lydia Cody's "The Cody family in America, 1695" it was agreed that this genealogy could initiate a new numbering system based on the fifth-generation numbers from her book. This book, unlike Lydia's, includes all known female descendants as well as the male lines." Cf. Preface. The historical data was by Lydia S. Cody--the material was assembled and edited by Ernest W. Cody as: The Cody family handbook - directory, 1941 : descendants of Philip and Martha at Beverly, Massachusetts, 1698. [London, Ont. : R.F. Field, 1941].
