I am researching my great great grandmother Mary Moody
Born 1824 in Ireland ? I feel she had a brother George Moody.
I do not know the names of her parents. She was from the Parish of Upham in New Brunswick, Canada and married Thomas Tait. Any information you may be able to give me on Mary and her family would be very helpful.

Thanks Phyllis

I am not really sure if she was born in Londonderry,but she did come from the nothern part of Ireland as has been mentioned. Her middle name was never used in any documents that I have found mentioned about her. Mary Moody and Thomas Tait did have a daughter named Elizabeth. I visited N.B. a year ago and found where Thomas was buried she is not buried with him. I did not have any luck finding Mary Moody. Sorry, but I do not have much information on her or who her parents may have been.

The only Moody family in Upham Parish, Kings Co., NB in 1851 was that of Joseph Moody b. ca. 1806, Irish, farmer, came to NB in 1827. His wife was Johannah, b. NB ca. 1806. Children were: John? (ca. 1832), William (ca. 1834), Elizabeth (ca. 1836), James (ca. 1838), Joseph (ca. 1840), Diannah (ca. 1842), Israel (ca. 1844), Margaret (ca. 1847) and Mary (ca. 1850.) Obviously not Mary's parents, but perhaps a brother. Joseph may have d. by 1877, as that year a Johanna Moody m. Isaac W. Bonnell. This seems unlikely as Johanna d. 15AUG1857 age 50 years, and is buried in Titus Hill, Hampton Parish, Kings Co., NB.
In 1820 and Alexander Moody petitioned for land in Kings Co. A John Moody petitoned for land in Kings Co. in 1849. John is probably the same in Suusex Parish in 1851, b. ca. 1814, Irish, and came to NB in 1832; with wife and family.
Joseph Moody was likely later in Titusville, Sussex Parish, Kings Co., NB. In 1851, in Sussex Parish, were Thomas 'Tate' (b. ca. 1819, Irish, came to NB in 1840), with his wife, Mary (b. ca. 1823, Irish also came in 1840, but I don't know that I would take that too seriously.) Children were: Jane (b. ca. 1844), John (b. ca. 1845), Rebecca (b. ca. 1847) and James (b. ca. 1849.) Since Thomas and Mary seem to have m. ca. 1842-3, it seems unlikely they would have come as a married couple. Thomas Tate was granted 100 acres in Sussex Parish 14JAN1858. Possibly he was the _____ Tait who petitioned for land in 1858 with Brice Creighton and Robert McFarlane. They may have been in Seeley's Mills.

"Thomas Tait born about 1819 and married to Mary Moody. Mary was born about 1823 and they were married in the Parish of Sussex, NB , Canada on February 12, 1844. I know of at least six children, Jane, John, Rebecca, James, Samuel, and Alfred. Samuel was my husband's grandfather"

Dear Thomas Murray,

Thanks for the information on the Moody family. It is quite interesting to note that Joseph did have a daughter Elizabeth who married a John Tate (Tait) and they settled in Upham and was there in 1909. Elizabeth was born in 1836. I still feel there is a strong connection to my Mary Moody and your Moody's in Upham. Mary later was in Kings County, N.B. Samuel Tait was my Great Grandfather. Were does your family fit into the Tait's ? You did say that he was your husbands grandfather.

Thanks again,
Phyllis

I don't think I am related to either, Phyllis; although my mother's family came from Kings Co. Just thought I would look at a few standard sources to see what I could find. There are other lines of research, but they generally involve getting microfilms from the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick.

Dear Thomas,
Thanks for the help. I have done much research on the Tait line but the Moody's have been a very hard family to research.
Have plans to visit N.B again next summer maybe I will have more luck this time.
Will be off line for a couple of months so if you send a reply I will get back to you as soon as I am back on line.

Thanks again,
Phyllis

Hi, Donna.

1851 census, Upham Parish, King Co., NB.
Joseph Moody, age 45, Irish, farmer, proprietor (meaning he owned, rather than leased his land) arrived NB 1827 (so b. Ireland.) His wife was 'Johannah', age 45, b. NB. Children were: John? (but listed as daughter?) (19), William (17), Elizabeth (15), James (13), Joseph (11), 'Diannah' (9), Israel (7), Margaret (4) and Mary (1.) I suspect that John? was Johanna as in 1877 a marriage bond was issued for Johanna Moody of Kings Co., NB, and Isaac W. Bonnell of Westmorland Co., Archibald Parks of Saint John Co. co-signing. I rather suspect that Isaac may have been originally from Kings Co., but I am not certain. That this was not the mother is evidenced by Johanna, Sr.'s headstone in the Titus Hill Cem., Titusville, Hampton Parish, Kings Co., NB, which states she d. 15AUG1857 age 50 years. See:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~nbchampt/Ki2d-006.html
Joseph may be the Joseph Moody of Passekeag, Kings Co. in the 1865 directory. There was also a John Moody is Sussex Corner; both farmers. Both were also in the 1867 directory, as will as a Joseph Moody in Titusville, Upham Parish, probably the son.
Joseph, in 1881, was living in Upham Parish. He was age 75, described himself (probably correctly) as Scottish, although b. Ireland. He was a farmer and Reformed Presbyterian, and had married again to Lydia (age 66, b. NB.)
