[Notes on other various Murphys in New England & Virginia] [posted 15 Aug 2003] http://www.mindspring.com/~baumbach/cody/william.htm John Combs Sr and his brothers, Mason Combs (Jr), William Combs, and also Godfrey Cody and Thomas Cody received public claims indents for services rendered to the Whig militia or the Continental Line, suggesting that they changed allegiance or were falsely accused. No such public claim records survived for William Cody, although he did join a Col. Daniel Trigg's Whig militia unit in 1781 in Montogomery County, Virginia. Francis Bradley, Sheriff of Mecklenburg County, was indeed murdered by Tories in late 1780, and Isaac Price, a gun and goldsmith, administered the probate of Bradley's estate (9). And Surry County Tory militia units of Captain Roger Turner and Captain Richard Murphy, under Colonel Samuel Bryan, fought at Hanging Rock No pay records or muster rolls have been found to corroborate the claim that Thomas Cody was a Captain in the Tory militia, or that William, Godfrey or Thomas Cody served in a Tory unit. ======================= http://www.mcclenny.org/branch1.pdf Southampton Co.
