ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

While many people contributed information to make this genealogy information as complete as it is, we wish to acknowledge a certain few who have spent considerable time, money, and work in researching, collecting, and correlating this information.

	Mary Kay Audd (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma ), great granddaughter of Flora Rucker Coody who married 4 Apr 1866 Richard Young Audd, has provided information of their descendants as well as the ancestors of the Audd / Aud family. She also provided a number of old photographs and biographic data that has been a real contribution to this website.
picture coming	Joy Elaine Carroll (Eastman, Georgia) has researched the Coody and Holder families extensively and provided many corrections to the early book published by Corrine Bolin Coody in 1965, providing many sources and documents to substantiate the changes. A magnificent effort and greatly appreciated as a contribution to our efforts to maintain factual and accurate genealogy data.
	Nancy Sharon Clark (Forth Worth Texas) has worked extensively on the Weatherred, Wiseman, Clark and other related families over many years. She has been a major contributor of data for those families to us and the Sumner County, TN site. Now, a retired school teacher, she hopes to contribute more for our Biograph section.
	Robert J. 'Bob' Coody (Rock Hill, SC) has done extensive research in the Coody, Coode, Weatherred, King, Suddarth, Bates, and Tomek family group over the past 19 years. He also did extensive work on obtaining the Moravian Mission Diaries information to incorporate into this web site. He and his wife Carolyn traveled to Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana to visit courthouses to collect documentation and meet family members. Bob was the founder and Managing Director of the Coody Family Foundation in the past and had developed this Coody Family Genealogy website. He currently serves as Webmaster with the assistance of others.

	Guy Delano Folger (McAlester, OK) researched the Folger family and was the source of the marriage of Mary Coody, daughter of Daniel Ross Coody, Sr and Sarah Ross, to Stephen Folger in 1875, which was previously unknown. We now gladly include their descendants in our family tree.
	Billie Thornhill Hayley (Houston, Texas) although not a direct family member to the Coody family, she has researched the family and many of the related families. Born and raised in Seymour, Baylor Co., Texas, she knows the families and was friends with many. Billie has shared considerable data with us and we have found it to be excellent, with superior source references and documentation. She also has a website at Ancestry.com titled "Heartland of Texas"
	Michael Harris Logue (Vicksburg, Mississippi) Michael is consultant that travels extensive on assignments and takes these opportunities to do genealogy research. His recent assignment in Washington, DC allowed him to visit St. Clements Hundred County and St. Mary's, Maryland, which prompted a resurgence to pursue the Coode / Coody connection and finally make a discovery that allow the determination of the father of Arthur Archibald Coody. Michael also has a website, "Logue Family Tree".
