Misc. Notes
All Joseph and Sarah’s children were born in Hadley, but recorded in South Hadley. ®673 Seth was born on 28 September 1752 in South Hadley, where he lived his entire life. “He was a private in Capt. Moses Montague’s Minute Men in the Rev. war and marched to Lexington with his regiment [on 19 April 1775} at the beginning of the Battle of Bunker Hill. Was also in Col. Ruggles Woodbridge Regiment later in the war.” ®8 He later was in Lieut. Reuben Judd’s company, Colonel Elisha Porter’s regiment for thirty-nine days in the Northern army from 9 July to 12 August 1777, marching a hundred miles. ®1010 He married Mary Pomeroy, daughter of Titus Pomeroy and Mary Montague on 4 February 1779 in South Hadley. Following their marriage they probably lived with his father Joseph, taking care of him after his mother died in 1782. His brother Daniel and new wife and one infant son probably also lived with them in 1790 when the US census lists Joseph as head of house hold but fails to note either Seth or Daniel (the 1790 census of 3 males over 16, 1 under 16 and 5 females fits the three families perfectly). ®675 By 1800 Seth and Mary had their own home. ®733By 1810 they had six children. ®810 He was a witness to the will of his brother Noah in 1811. ®1 In 1830 in South Hadley, Seth was aged 70–79, with a female 60–69, and a son or daughter with spouse and three young boys were probably living with them. ®1011 He died on 17 October 1839 at age 87 and was buried in South Hadley. ®1012 ®706 ®610 There is no probate record for Seth. ®1013 "You heard of [the] death of Mr Seth Moody you may not know the particulars went to the sellar door to obtain pipe after supper as usual fell to the bottom of the stares so injured that he lived but a few days.” ( Letter written to Mr. Liberty Lyman, Shiawasse, Michigan by M. Montague, South Hadley, March 15th, 1840.)
“He settled in ‘Moody Corner’ in South Hadley, Mass. His house was located on the south side of the road, which leads from the bridge in that village to Amherst, Mass. and the second house from the bridge. It was a few rods north of the one built by his father, the position of which, has been described. The time of it’s erection was in 1795 as appears from papers in his own hand writing. The house is still in good repair. Mr. Moody was owner of considerable real estate in lands, etc. He succeeded his father on the homestead, had the care also of a grist mill, which he owned in company with his brother Daniel and cousin Eliphaz. The share having descended from his father and grandfather. The building having become old, he joined with them in erecting another on it’s site and the same was raised June 7, 1784. This having been swept off by a freshest [sic] in the Spring of 1820, they built the third; this was raised May 20th of the same year. He understood the trade of a mason, but his attention was chiefly given to agricultural pursuits. A brick, lately taken from the chimney of the tavern in South Hadley, bears the initials of his name deeply impressed. In matters pertaining to the town, he occasionally advised, being Selectman, etc., etc. He and his wife were members of the church in 1786, perhaps earlier.” ®408
