Hello there, I ran across your website while surfing the net on genealogy research. I have recently started searching for Henry's ancesters. Based on my prior research, I am a descendent of the Henry Moody on your website. My bloodline is from the son James Moody who married Lucinda Hensley as he is my gggg grandfather, they married in Lawrence county Tennessee and later bought land in Tishomingo,MS where they raised a family, sadly only 2 children lived long enough to have families, they are all buried in Chapel Hill cemetery near Burnsville, MS. James Moody had 2 boys that had families, John C Moody and James K Moody. I am a descendent of John C. Moody. John C. Moody married Minerva and had 4 children, John A, Georgia A, Tenora B, and James Monroe.
I am a descendent of James Monroe. James Monroe married a woman named Sarah-full blood Indian for whom I am researching and am having difficulty finding her maiden name even though she is my gg grandmother. James Monroe Moody and Sarah lived in Tishomingo,MS until 1880 and then moved to Delta County Texas, they and several of their children are buried in the pecan gap cemetery. Their daughter Arbanna married Elmer Kansas Pierce(who is part Indian as well and who's roots are hard to follow) at the turn of the century and they are also buried in the pecan gap cemetery, with 2 of their 3 sons. Their sons were Clyde Ivan Pierce, Lloyd Pierce(Lloyd died from complications to serious injuries sustained in a brawl at weekend dance hall), and Aubrey Dale Pierce. Aubrey Dale Pierce is my grandfather who is buried with my gradmother Edna Melnea Pierce at Mount Carmel Cemetery in Wolf City as Her Family the 'Harris Family' are all buried there. My grandparents and greatgrandparents and great great grandparents spent most of their days in the Delta, Hunt county areas as they were cotton farmers. My Dad and his siblings were raised in Pecan Gap, his name was Lynn Dale Pierce, his brother Jimmy Lloyd Pierce and his sister Deborah Kay Pierce. My grandparents eventually sold their land and moved to the big city of Euless after I was born.
