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 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, mother: Priscilla
TONEY). Zater never married Burl COLEY but they had a daughter named Berta
MOODY. Zater -m- James ALSTON and their daughter is Lula Bell Moody ALSTON.
Berta MOODY never married Frederick Douglas ARRINGTON but they had a son
named George ARRINGTON who later changed his name to George CARTER. Berta is
listed in the 1920 Census as Berta CARTER and she later married Ulysses
PITTMAN
from Edgecombe County and they later moved to Baltimore, MD. (When they died
they
were buried at Mt. Minans Cemetery in Baltimore, MD.)
John MOODY and William CARTER were both listed as land owners. The majority of
these people were listed as mulattos.
Please email all replies to me. Any info whether large or small will be most
helpful.
Thanks for your help.
