£2 Genealogical and Historical OF THE INTERNATIONAL £odg Jfamilg association Volume 32, No. 2 Cody •y ii 1991 Gloucester, Mass. site of Family Reunion The 1998 Reunion of the International Cody Family will be held in Gloucester Massachusetts on July 2-5. This reunion will celebrate the 300th Anniversary of the arrival of the Philip Cody Family in America. In 1698, Philip purchased his first property in the New World. The home that he purchased was in Beverly, MA, only about 20 minutes by car from Gloucester, the site of the reunion. A history of our family was first published in the 1941 Cody Family Handbook-Directory. It was written by Lydia S. Cody, then Chairman of the Cody Family Historical Board. In it she writes of the home purchased by Philip in Beverly in 1698: "... Philip and his growing family lived for some twenty-five years in the Beverly home purchased by him in 1698. Five of their six children were born in that home and John the eldest was but three years of age at the time of its purchase. And when the family removed from there, Mary the youngest of the children was in her thirteenth year. That this home was a comfortable and pleasant place in which to live may reasonably be surmised by the notation concerning it as given in the deed (found in the registry of Deeds for Essex County at Salem) of purchase by Philip. By these brief notations we learn that there was land to the amount of six acres on which were 'timber trees' and also 'fruit trees,' and besides the 'dwell ing-house' there were 'out-housing' and 'fencing'. That this dwelling-house was of substantial construction may be judged by certain observations concerning it by the late Mr. Sydney Perley (Essex Institute Publication, Vol. 56, p. 105-110), who suggested it may have been built by Lt. John Dodge, who as he judged, was owner of this property at the time (1686) it was sold to Thomas Edwards, of Ipswich 'yeoman,' from whom it was purchased by Philip some twelve years later." Dwight Cody (148/3423) of Boston area is chairperson of the committee which is organizing this historic event. Dwight promises that it will be a great time to be in this historic and beautiful area for the celebration of our 300th year and the Independence of the U.S. Mark your calendars now and plan to join us in 1998.
