Notes for LADY Deborah DUNCH
She was a woman of fine intellect and strong will. She was the daughter of an ancient family in Wittenham in Essex County, England. Her father, Walter, was a Member of Parliament under Queen Elizabeth I. The family had a reputation of protecting the rights of the common people. After Walter’s death his brother inherited his seat in Parliament under King James and King Charles. The son of this brother was Sir William Dunch, an uncle by marriage to Cromwell.418
On 23 November 1605 in consideration of a marriage portion of £2000, received with his son's wife, Deborah, daughter of Walter Dunch of Avebury, Wiltshire, Richard Moody settled on Henry Moody for life, Crab Mill and mead, Couthfield in Milborne, Brode Mead, Gaston meadow and Lewards Close in Cleverdon, Wanslop mead, Milborne and Whitchurch Farm, and after his death to Deborah his widow. They were married 20 January 1606 and he died in 1629. She stayed on at Garsden to take care of her father-in-law who died there in 1638.418

She was a member of the church at Salem which admonished her for error as to the baptism of infants making her life so uncomfortable that about 1645 she led a group of religious dissenters to the Dutch Colonies and planted Gravesend on Long Island where Sir Henry Moody lived. Sir Henry II may have been her son but more certain in Wood’s History is called one of the original patentees. 603 There she resided long and had from Governor Stuyvesant the allowance to nominate magistrates in 1654 for Gravesend, as Increase Mather had from King William to dictate for Massachusetts, in her new Charter.
A widow and a Nonconformist, she emigrated in 1636, with her son, to Massachusetts,
but in 1643 removed to the Dutch settlement in Long Island, where, at Qravensonde,
she d. between Dec. 1654 and May 1659.2525
