First Generation in the New World

Ingraham Moody worked at the Saugus Iron Works in Lynn, Massachusetts from about 1651 to at least 1653. There is a lot of uncertainty about whether Clement Moody is related to Ingraham Moody, the SPOW.

2. i. ENGROME² MOODY

Second Generation

2. ENGROME² MOODY, (Ingraham¹), was born in Massachusetts.

From Bob Moody on 20 August 2016:
My chain of Moody’s are from Clement to Clement 2nd to Scribner to Jonathan to Lewis to Robert to Clarence to my father Robert [and myself and my son].

Written and Submitted by Lynn Stewart:
“(Engrome) Moody born about 1630 in Scotland. We are 99% sure that Engrome had a son, Clement and the evidence is a strong connection. Sometimes nothing is 100% in genealogy. Sent to colonies aboard the ship Unity in 1650 and was indentured to Saugus Iron Works. Worked alongside other POWs along with John Clark whose daughter married married Clement Moody. He had a son, Engrome, who may have changed his name to Clement to remove the stigma of being a prisoner. The lineage is vast and my Beede ancestors allegedly took into their home in Brentwood, NH an orphan of Joseph “Smallpox Joe” Moody whose name was Nathan and that entire line of Beede’s were actually Moody’s. DNA analysis connected the Beede line to that of the Moody’s. This information is included in the Beede and Moody DNA Projects.”
