The family line of what would be connected with William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody would have originated from Quebec/French Canada... during this French Arcadian migration. Again... As like The Butler, and The Cote/Cota's of Vermont... we find another in-direct cousinry of families? By way of The Martin Families of Canada, The descendants of the Coty and Cote families meet again? Another line of the Cote Family settled in Dakota Territory, also using the varient name Cota as well? It is noted that actor-performer, Ross Martin of the TV show "Wild Wild West", is also related to "Buffalo Bill" as well? Though no direct cousin connection has been found yet... the present connecting families are too close to dismiss William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody as a direct or in-direct cousin to Ed Moch as well?
The Butler Families have always been close, and like the previous connections, even the Butler side of "Wild Bill" being connected to Ed Moch, is also too close to tell? It is also noted by the Geneology files of Steven Larson, that part of the Butler family line can be followed right to President's George H.W. Bush, and his son George W. Bush to "Wild Bill" as well. Again as before... Ed Moch's family connections by way of the Mason Family to the Butler and Bush families are noted, and is too close to call, how direct and/or in-direct they are related too.
The connection between Ed Moch's Grandmother, Constance Martha Alexander, and the direct or in-direct connection as cousin, kin, or even the remote possibility of being sister to Eleanore Butler Alexander. As like "Wild Bill", You can see with Mrs. Roosevelt, the classic Butler nose as well? Her marriage to Gen. Theodore Roosevelt III, and his association to family friend and associate, Seth Bullock, and his brother James Bullock extends the relationship.
Recently... As a historical re-enactor, Ed Moch dressed up as "Wild Bill". Though Ed doesn't have the famous long nose of his famous cousin... the similarities of look and posture is quite impressive, indicating some verifiable kind of direct kinship.
Another Deadwood family connection to cousin and kin is former Mayor of Deadwood, Will Ellis Adams, and his brother James Adams. As like the possible distant kinship between Seth and James Bullock, by way of Theodore Roosevelt's Mother, Martha Bullock, The Adams Brother's possible descending relationship to Henry Adams Sr. of The Braintree/Quincy Adams line, would make Ed Moch also a direct cousin, by way of Great Great Grandfather, Capt. Dexter Mason, who married into the Adam's Family sort of twice? |
