GRIFFIN GERMAN
Seeking information on BENJAMIN GRIFFIN and JAMES GRIFFIN who were in
Monroe County approx. 1840-1845. James married Rachel German, but they
divorced shortly afterward. Benjamin obtained a land patent in Itawamba
Co. MS in 1844, and the land patent was made out to "Benjamin Jefferson
Griffin of Monroe County, Mississippi." I do not know if James and
Benjamin were related, but would like to correspond with anyone with
information on the Griffin or German family in Monroe Co., later
Chickasaw Co., and finally Itawamba Co. Mississippi.

CODY, WRIGHT
I am looking for information on the Cody family in Amory, Monroe County,
Mississippi. It is my understanding that a Cody cabin is now a museum in
Amory, and that possibly the last occupant of the cabin was Miles
Franklin Cody. He was the brother of my direct ancestor, Elizabeth Cody,
who married James Henry Wright from North Carolina.
I have also been told that a book exists entitled "A History of Our Irish
American Cody Family" by William Howard Wright, Jr. Does anyone have a
copy of this book or any information about the Cody family?
Thank you! Jennifer Wright gjcor@pocketmail.com
