Warren/Northampton--> Nash County, NC
I am looking for information on John MOODY-m- Esther RICKS (Griffins Twp,
Nash Co). His first wife was Harriet (last name unknown, 1880 Census). John
has a lot of children ( Judge, Clyde, Robert, Nathaniel/Norman, Curtis, Sue,
Pat, Annie, Cary, Billie, Johnnie, WIllie, Rose, Charles) between both wives
but I am interested in his daughters Zater (Zeatta) and Sallie MOODY. Zater
is listed in the 1910 Census as living with her sister and her husband,
Sallie and William "Babe" CARTER (father: Henry CARTER (Warren County),
mother: Priscilla TONEY (Spring Hope - related to William Toney Funeral
Home). Zater never married Burl COLEY but they had a daughter named Berta
MOODY. Later Zater and James ALSTON had a daughter named Lula Bell Moody
ALSTON. Berta MOODY never married Frederick Douglas ARRINGTON but they had a
son named George ARRINGTON who later legally changed his name to George
CARTER (Nash County). Berta MOODY is listed in the 1920 Census as Berta
CARTER only because she lived in the household of her sister and her husband.
In those days if the male head of the family supported you or your children
in their home you were called by their last names but illegally of course and
that is how most people names are listed in the census records.Berta/Roberta
later married Ulysses PITTMAN from Edgecombe County and they later moved to
Baltimore, MD. (When they died they were buried at Cedars Hills
Gardens/Abutus Cemtery or Mt. Minans Cemetery in Baltimore, MD.)
Priscilla and Henry CARTER children are William, Luzianna, Henry, Wiley, Lias
& Lazarus (twins), June and Mary.
Sallie and William CARTER (1st marriage) children are Almeda, Etta, Henry,
John, Josphine, Lillie, Sarah Ada and Willie. Beulah and William CARTER (2nd
marriage) children are Arnetta, Elbert, Lajetta and William. The CARTERs
attended O'Dell Baptist Church (Littleton) and Manns Chapel Church (Nash
County). Some descendants still live in the Swift Creek area. Their church
memberships and burials are at Swift Creek Missionary Baptist Church /
Cemetery.
John MOODY, Henry CARTER (Native American - Warren County) and William CARTER
(1/2 Native American) were all listed as land owners. Their lands were passed
down through their children and some brought their own land. The majority of
the people above were listed as mulattos.
Please email all replies to me. Any info whether large or small will be most
helpful. If you have assess to listed surname mailing list please feel free
to forward this query to them and anyone else you may think that could be of
any help to me with my family.
Thanks for your help.
Always, EbonyP
