Who were Jesse MOODY and wife Sarah poss. nee PIPPIN of Barnwell Co., SC as seen in the 1850 and 1860 census'?
They had children named Augusta, William, Georgiana etc. and Jesse was born around c1814 and his wife Sarah around c1820 according to their ages given in the 1860 census.
All were said to be born in SC.
I am wondering if this isn't the same Jesse MOODY and wife Sarah PIPPIN who moved away from Marion Co., SC after they were married (in 1840/41).
If this is the same couple, then Jesse MOODY may be linked to the Darlington Co., SC MOODY branch of John MOODY > John > Asa & Levi Moody etc.
If this is the Jesse MOODY that married Sarah PIPPIN then Sarah was a daughter of Micajah PIPPIN and his wife known only as "Ann" (will documentation naming daughter Sarah and wife Ann dated 1820 Marion Co., SC at which time Sarah must have just been born). Micajah must have married late in life or "Ann" was his 2nd wife and Sarah his only child with her as she is the only child mentioned in his will. The will was Probated in 1840.
Micajah PIPPIN was a son of Benjamin PIPPIN and Charity MONTAGUE/Monticue? [sic?] and they also had a daughter named Charity PIPPIN. Charity PIPPIN married Asa MOODY of Darlington Co., SC but this branch of the Moody family moved to southern Alabama.
The marriage between these two MOODY families and the PIPPIN family may be an indication of a relationship between these two MOODY branches of which I am trying to find.
The Darlington Co., SC branch is part of my Ydna family line (Not my direct family line...but Genetic cousins).
It is believed that the Darlington branch and the Marion Co. branch of Robert MOODY are connected somehow, but there seems to be more than one Robert MOODY branch in Marion Co.
There is also a Robert MOODY who married "Nancy" and then the one I see most commonly the Robert Moody who m. "Ester" who some have erroneously placed as a son of a Robert and Ann Lounds MOODY of the English branch of MOODY's.
I have yet to see any Source materials to prove this and without Ydna evidence to back it up and solid documentation these lines may never be proven.
Ydna testing is the fastest and most certain way to Prove lineage. We now have over 60 participants in the MOODY Ydna Surname Project and more different lineages than I would have ever dreamed possible.
Our branch is sort of unique in that we are of a Norse-Celitc line that left Norway eons ago probably with the Viking raids on Scotland, Ireland and England.
We do NOT match Ydna with Any of the Numerously tested Moody families who hail from England and the other place where the Moody/Moodie/Mudie name is as populous as England is Scotland. Because so much of our DNA reports of matches with Other Surnames is with those of Scottish descent, (Chisolm, McNeill, Clendennen, Hutton, Hamilton, Sellers, Duncan, Ingram, Spence etc. to name a few of the names we share ydna with), it seems only logical that our Moody family name was once spelled in the Scottish form of MOODIE or Mudie.
That is why I believe that our family may have ties to the Thomas MOODIE and wife Jean McKENZIE line who came to "the Carolina's" before Feb. 1772. The names within this Thomas MOODIE's family tree connections via an old Genealogy publ. in 1919 on the HOUSTOUN family to which this Thomas MOODIE's daughter Ann MOODIE married into in Savannah, GA is uncanny. The other surnames of CARR, McKENZIE, STEWART, CHISOLM, McBryde/McBride, Hay etc. all show up as either partially matching Other Surnames to us via Ydna or they are also in our own family trees. I for one, do not believe this is by coincidence. I think it is by family tradition and intent to continue these same blood lines and keep them in the families.
There is VERY LITTLE info on line about these MOODIE families and how link and I have always wondered why that is. Some folks seem to have their family trees going back eons, but the MOODIE's...they just seem to Stop at a point and then make no further connections. They are all broken up like shattered glass.
Some of the families went to Nor. Ireland and that is where several of our Ydna Moody cousins families came from before coming to America. Some of them appear to have come directly from Scotland (perhaps the South Carolina branches), and others may have come up from Barbadoes and Jamaica where a lot of folks from Scotland were sent because of religious non-conformities or otherwise.
At any rate I am trying to make connections between these different MOODY/Moodie branches in South Carolina to see if we have any links beteween us at all and the best and fastest and least expensive (overall in the time and money spent researching these lines) is through Ydna testing. Here is the link to our Moody Ynda page if anyone here has a male born MOODY (must not be adopted or otherwise, has to be born to a male MOODY line in order for the Ydna test to work, and in order to absolutely Prove a connection a 37 marker test must be taken. A 25 marker test will not prove conclusively a link to any specific line as has been shown over and over again among ydna testers. A Lot goes askew in the 37 marker end of a test and many of the mismatches take place in the very last few markers of the 37 marker test. So a full 37 marker test is essential for Proving or at least showing family connection between the Moody's.
Our Admin. Bob Moody is Very Helpful.

Thank you for any further info on these Moody branches if you can help out that would be terrific. We can solve these age old questions once and for.
