Mr. Hunt–
My name is Allan Lane of Winter Garden, FL. I recently took a suit to be cleaned and found in the jacket pocket a letter you wrote to my Uncle, Ben Moody, then residing in Siler City, NC, in 2004 inquiring about possible family history. My Uncle gave me the letter since I have some interet in genealogy. I do not recall if he answered you or not. He is still living with wife Polly in a retirement home near Charlotte. If you would like, contact me at the above email address, and I will contact him and provide you such information as I can find. I do not know much about the Moody side of my family. My grandfather, Noah Moody, died about 1952 when I was about 5 years old. I know his father was Jasper Moody. I have some photos and military records on my grandfather, and a few other details. I would like to find out more about the Moody’s. I remember my Mother (d. 1976) used to speak of a cousin Moody who was a minister in a church in Dallas. Don’t know if that has anything to do with your lineage or not.
Feel free to contact me by email or phone, 407-654-8187. Best wishes, Al Lane.
Hi Alan,
I would love to have as much information as I can get on the descendants of the Moody families of Chatham Co, NC as far back as possible. I have put together my best guess on lines of the early (last 1700′s through 1800′s) Moody families. I am almost sure to have some mistakes. Hopefully as information is shared, I can begin to identify mistakes and correct them.

Mr Hunt,
I have two copies of your book which I have really enjoyed. My dad grew up 1 mile from Rives Chapel Church. Charlie Moody was his father, Jasper Moody was his grandfather, Charles E his g-grandfather (fought at Gettysburg) William Jr his g-g grandfather and William Sr his g-g-g grandfather.In your book there is a letter referenced dated 1898 that Charles E had 7 kids and all but Jasper had died by 1898. Jasper was the oldest born 8/10/1864 based on his tombstone.
That would mean he had six kids die in a 34 year period. I cannot imagine fighting at Gettysburg (NC 26th Co E) returning home and seeing most of your children die during your lifetime. Any more info? Charles is buried in Tick Creek Cemetery (in the pasture behind the church)
