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
