I am searching for more info regarding John MOODY's Parents or family.
This John MOODY was born in 1835 and prob. in the Balnamore/Ballymoney area of Co. Antrim, Nor. Ireland.
He married in 1856 at the St. James Church in Ballymoney to Mary Ann LESLIE daug. of John LESLIE. On their marriage record John MOODY was said to be "of Balnamore".
Based on John's birth year, I guess his Father's birth year to be around c1807. The Names given to John MOODY and Mary Ann LESLIE's 7 children were as follows:
John, Mary Jane, James, Margaret Annie, Martha, Ellen and Thomas MOODY.

Mary Ann Leslie also had a brother named Thomas Leslie who was a flax dresser in Balnamore.
There is some relation via marriage to the CLEMENTS/Clemmons? family as well as the HOGG family.
John and Mary Ann Leslie MOODY had 2 children who married into the HOGG family of Andrew HOGG and Elizabeth/Eliza CONNOR. I also noticed that in Ballymena, Co. Antrim there was a Presbyterian church called the Connor Presbyterian Church, I have no way of knowing if this is in any way related to Eliza's family line or not.
If anyone can help with information regarding any of these families, I would be most greatful as they are part of my Ydna Moody gene pool and I am trying to determine if this John MOODY has a lineage line to our earliest known Ydna ancestor Thomas MOODY b.c1710 in/of the Aghadowey area of Co. L'derry who married Jean McQUISTON, and to a Samuel MOODY a linen weaver of Nor. Ireland who married "Martha" and to another John MOODY who was a boot maker who was also of Nor. Ireland. All of these MOODY's came from Nor. Ireland to America, and all but the last one came to PA. John the bootmaker went to New York City, his sons and descendants were haberdashers (hat makers etc.) and they removed to CT a bit later on. All of these Moody's are part of our Ydna family and I am trying to see if there might be a lineage line between them.
Any help at all would be most greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
