MaryAnn Thomasine "Annie" Codrington (1802- 1877) was the daughter of William Collins Codrington (1772 - 1837) and his wife Sarah "Smith" King (1777 - 1835), all of Jamaica. MaryAnn's father was the son of George Codrington (b 16 Apr 1736), the youngest son of William Codrington (1693 - 15 Oct 1754), who was the illegitimate son of Antigua's Governor Christopher Codrington III. Both the will of Gov Codrington III, and of his father, (also a Governor of Antigua) Christopher Codrington II, made provisions for the freedom, education and support of William. This former slave--though likely of Irish or Scottish extraction--would in 1741 move from Antigua, where he was born on his father's Bettys Hope Plantation, to Jamaica. William was among the first to settle on Jamaica's east coast near Manchioneel Bay. There both he and his eldest son John were given King George II land grants of 300 acres. William's plantation, surrounding the headwaters of "Coddingtons Creek" which empties into Manchioneel Bay, was, like his father's on Antigua, named Bettys Hope. Ironically, this former slave had taken up the plantation trade.
MaryAnn Codrington married twice. ~ 1825, she married her first husband, George Bryan Panton (Sr), an Oxford educated physician who was also of a multi-generational Jamaican family. The Pantons were extremely well educated. George (Sr) and his brother John Edward Wilson Panton graduated from Oxford, returning to Jamaica as a doctor and lawyer, respectively. His cousins, educated at Cambridge, became Archdeacons of the Anglican Church in Jamaica. However, George Bryan Panton Sr seems to have died early (sometime after 1829), leaving MaryAnn with just one surviving child, George Bryan Panton Jr b 8 Oct 1826.
After August 1834, when slavery was abolished across the British Empire, MaryAnn, her father, mother, siblings and children, all left Jamaica. Widowed, MaryAnn and her son George Panton settled near New Haven, Connecticut. In Nov 1850, her son married Adele Clarisse Blake, the daughter of New York dentist Elihu Blake. Three months later, MaryAnn, married Colonel Gustavus Loomis, a career US Army officer, who was an 1811 graduate of West Point. Perhaps with the facilitation of Col Loomis, MaryAnn's son George Panton found his way to Fort Leavenworth Kansas which was under the command of Loomis's son-in-law, Major Edmund Augustus Ogden (an 1831 West Point graduate after whom Fort Ogden, UT was named). In Kansas, MaryAnn's son & wife had four children--Alice C, William, Adele Ann & Emma Louse Panton. Only Adele & Emma would survive the Kansas prairie, and their mother, George's wife Adele Blake, died at Fort Leavenworth on 23 Aug 1854. In early 1857, George returned east, where he died in the New York City home of his father-in-law on 23 Feb 1857.
Thus on the 1860 census and in 1870, MaryAnn "Annie" Codrington and her second husband Col Gustavus Loomis were rearing these granddaughters. However, in 1872, both Col Loomis, and the granddaughter Adele Anna Panton died. In July 1877, MaryAnn/"Annie" Loomis also died. Only the fate of her granddaughter Emma Louise Panton is not known. Each of her other descendants -- her son, daughter-in-law and three grandchildren (William, Alice C & Adele Anna Panton) had predeceased her. Not found among the on-line marriage records of New York or Connecticut, or on the 1880 census, it seems that Emma Louise Panton may have also died an untimely death.
