Searching for any of the family of BENJAMIN FRANKLIN CODY or his sons EMETT CODY or W.C.Cody.
Any information would be appreciated.

I subscribe to this board, not related.

In the 1930 US Federal census there were two Cody families listed. Robert G Cody in Precinct 1 and William C Cody
family in Precinct 6. Can only presume William C and W. C. are one and the same as you provided no vitals.

Keep in mind that Texarkana is split between Bowie county and Miller county, AR. You may need to look for records in both states.

B F Cody died 1916 or 1917 in AR ? wife Maddie H SAPP Cody died in 1896, both buried Wooten Springs Cemetery in Bowie county as well as Emmett Sr, and Jr and William Custis Cody and husband of Hattie Cody Boulton, George B Boulton.

Maddie was the daughter of Madison H SAPP and Harriet "Hattie" A Wooldridge who married in Chattahoochee Co GA 13 Nov 1860. Madison H SAPP not found in Chattahoochee 1860 census. Hattie then married Lafayette L Howard in 1866, they had two children Homer Howard 1867 -1868 and Ella Howard 1872 - 1873.

Hattie Wooldridge born 1844 Muscogee Co GA was the daughter of William G Wooldridge and Emaline Smith.

There were two Madison Sapp's. One born abt 1842 in GA son of Madison 1809 GA and Martha 1817 GA listed in Mockinson Gap, Stewart Co GA in 1850.

Madison SAPP 1841 GA son of Chas SAPP 1800 GA and Mary SAPP 1803 GA listed in Dist 19, Stewart Co GA in 1850. This one was in Webster Co GA in 1860 census. Per public family trees this was Madison D SAPP married Louanna Jackson.

Re. wives of Emmett M. Cody and William Custis Cody:

Emmett Cody age 22 married Belle McClemmons age 22 on 4 Mar 1901 in Miller County, AR: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~txkusa/unclaimed/arkmillgr...

William Custis Cody's wife Bessie M. McCurry, married in 1917, is the daughter of Simon McCurry and Mary A. Johnson.

Bessie is on the 1900 Jackson & Richland Townships, Little River, AR census with her parents and siblings:
Simon McCurry 34
Mary McCurry 29
Walter C McCurry 8
Bessie M McCurry 6
Daniels D McCurry 1

She is on the 1910 Justice Precinct 1, Bowie, TX census with her parents and siblings (note father Simon is incorrectly recorded as Solomon):
Solomon McCurry 44
Mary McCurry 40
Bessie M McCurry 16
Damie D McCurry 11
Hattie B McCurry 9
Dimmett l McCurry 4
Willie A McCurry 2

Simon McCurry and Mary Johnson married in 1890 in Little River County, AR: http://backwardbranch.com/lrcgs/marriages/j.html. Simon's parents were Marcellus McCurry (b. 1822 AL) and Mary Elizabeth Hodges (b.1838 TN). I believe Mary's parents were Benjamin F. Johnson (b. 1831 GA) and Emily M. Carroll (b. 1844 LA).
