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.
