Notes for SIR Henry MOODY Second Baronet
Henry Moody died 23 Apr [1629] last past, at Garsdon, and Sir Henry Moody, bart., is his son and next heir, aged 23 years and more. 2178Henry was matriculated at Magdalen Hall, Oxford on 2 November 1621 aged 14 years and was created D.C.L. on 20 December 1642 and was admitted to Gray's Inn on 5 August 1632. Sir Henry emigrated to New Amsterdam in 1661 and from there to Virginia. He died without children, whereupon the Baronetcy expired. He inherited Garsdon Manor and sold it in "1631 to Lawrence Washington who is memorialized in Garsdon Church." His baronetcy was listed as becoming extinct in the year 1662 in Burke’s Heraldry.418
“DEBORAH. the lady who purch. 1640, the planta. of John Humfrey at Lynn, was a mem. of Salem ch. wh admonish. her for error as to bapt. of inf. making her life so uncomforta. that she rem. a. 1643, to the Dutch Col. and sett. on L. I. where Sir Henry M. liv. who may have been her s. but more certain. in Wood's Hist. is call. one of the orig. patentees. There she resid. long, had from Gov. Stuyvesant, allowance to nomin. magistr. in 1654, for Gravesend, as in her new Charter.“ 603
“A few men born in or associated with New England became baronets. To Massachusetts Bay in 1636 immigrated Sir Henry Moody , second baronet of Garesdon, Wiltshire, since the death in 1629 of his father, the first baronet. Educated at Oxford he settled in Lynn and later Salem, Massachusetts, where in 1640 his mother Deborah, Lady Moody, became a member of the First church of Salem. But soon this noted Noncomformist who refused to accept infant baptism and is accounted an early Quakeress was induced to remove with her son to Gravesend Long Island. There they quietly lived under more broadminded Dutch rule. They and their several associates in 1644 received a patent of land from Dutch Governor Krieft of New Amsterdam. After his mother's death and perhaps because of the Anglo-Dutch War, Sir Henry removed to Virginia where he died sine prole on 20 September 1661. His arms appear as #274 on the New England Roll and are blazoned or described in heraldic parlance as Vert a fesse engrailed Argent surmounted by a bar Gules between three harpies of the second crined Or.”2107
