I am trying to make connections between our Ydna MOODY family and some EAKIN's I have noticed via online sources that married into the MOODY families in these places.
I know of one William MOODY line (his father was John Moody of Co. Londonderry, Ireland) who came to Pittsburgh, PA around c1816 with half-brother Robert MOODY (they had different mothers).
From a Northampton Co., PA Scot-Irish Cemetery I have found from the online records that EAKIN's and MOODY's were buried in this cemetery - one Samuel EAKIN b. 1777 who d.1863 and his wife Sallie b. 1788 who d. 1862 and a daugh. Elizabeth b. 1816 who d. 1839 and an Elizabeth EAKIN who was wife of John EAKIN and a daugh. of Zachariah and Martha DRAKE who died 1854 at age 35 yrs. old. Zachariah DRAKE was a Physician who died in 1851 at 66 yrs. old.
Buried just a few graves down is Adam MOODY and wife Anna BOYD[e]. Adam died 1781 at age 67 yrs. old and his wife d. 1802 at age 87 yrs. old. Their son or a relative named James MOODY d. 1771 at age 25 yrs. old.
Adam and Anna also had a son Robert MOODY who lived in Northampton Co., PA for a while but removed to the Western side of the state and settled in Greene, Beaver Co., PA.
I believe he was in the 1850 Beaver Co., PA census.
One of our Ydna MOODY cousins Moody family also came from Co. Londonderry/Co. Antrim, Ireland to Beaver Co., PA in the 1800's and I don't think it was by accident that they chose that county. Often times family members would go to where they knew they had other family members living so they get themselves established and hopefully obtain employment. I feel this Robert MOODY son of Adam and Anna Boyd[e] MOODY and the William and Robert Moody who came to Pittsburgh, PA are all part of a larger group of our Ydna MOODY's.
By examining the Other surnames of the families that these Moody's married into, I am hoping to be able to make a few links between our Ydna Moody families too.
If anyone can help with further details of these EAKIN's who married into the MOODY families (from the 1600's, 1700's and 1800's whether in Scotland, Ireland or Nor. America) I would be most greatful.
Thank you.
