Re: searching for any CHISHOLM & MOODY (Moodie/Mudie) links pre-1850 back to Scotlan

In Reply to: Re: searching for any CHISHOLM & MOODY (Moodie/Mudie) links pre-1850 back to Scotlan by Robert Chisholm of 1709

Thanks again Robert for the info.
Also thanks to Daniel's response to my query below these, I also found a link between the Robert Trail Chisolm (spelled that way in the early records) and a MOODIE family in Charleston, SC.
This Robert leads back to the very line I share the closest Ydna with.
Even more interesting is that in some 1820's Ship Passenger lists I found this very Robert CHISOLM and James G. MOODIE (the very family these two had intermarriages in) on the same ship right next to each other on the passenger list. They were both Merchants and coming in from Great Britain to Charleston in 1822.
Then in 1825 I found the following families all traveling together on the same ship - Mrs. Chesolm age 40, S. Chisolm age 19, J. Chisolm age 18, and Mr. MOODIE age 26.
All of them were listed as "merchants" so perhaps they were on a shoppping spree together.

In Nov. 1827 J. G. MOODIE age 27 merchant sailed from Liverpool back to Charleston so he must have been a frequent passenger on ships sailing back and forth to Europe.

In 1822 both James MOODIE and Robert CHISOLM ages 32 and 25 respectively, stated they were Merchants and from Great Britain coming to Charleston.
I can only guess this must be Robert Trail CHISOLM who married Harriet E. SCHUTT and they had son Henry Lewis CHISOLM who married Caroline E. MOODIE that Daniel so very graciously shared with me.
Caroline E. MOODIE was daughter of James G. MOODIE and Rosa A. ______ (per 1850 Charleston, SC census). James G. MOODIE in the 1850 census was listed as a Bank Officer.
He was listed as age 48 in that census.
I can't find out anymore about this James MOODIE but he must have come over from Scotland or come with his family.
If I can ever find his family link, it might be a huge clue for me finding my own Moody/Moodie family.
That I did find a sort of "paper trail" for these two families and to the Very family of Chisholm to whom I share the closest Ydna to, I thought was pretty good.
Thanks again for the info. This Ydna stuff is all very fascinating to me but confusing at the same time.
