Thomas Robert John William Moody
I am trying to document the lineage from Thomas Moody ca 1625 England, Robert Moody Sr.ca 1655 VA, Robert Moody Jr. ca 1697 VA, John Moody ca 1723 VA, William ca 1740 NC. I have found evidence of Thomas to son Samuel in VA and of Robert Sr. to son Daniel and clustered names of Robert Jr. and John Moody in Granville Co, NC. This area of Granville Co became in turn Bute and then Franklin counties. Much of the real estate dealings are along the North Carolina Tar River at various locations including Buffalo Creek, Jumping River or Creek, and Cypress Creek or Swamp areas. The leap from these men to William in orange and then Chatham counties is not well documented in my research. In reading the many trees and postings of this line, I have determined (guessed) that the major original source is The Moody family of western North Carolina and scattered descendants / researched as a Moody family project ; written and compiled by Frances Moody Nadeau. I cannot find a copy of this book. Is there anyone who has or who has seen the book who can tell me the nature of documentation in the book for the line?
