Misc. Notes
His son called him “Major Moody”. ®1486 As executor he proved his father Samuel’s will of 28 Jun 1658. ®1463
Cond. test. C.P.C. 168 Ball 31 Aug 1680. ®2665By his wife Anne Bull, daughter of Thomas Bull of Flowton, co. Suffolk, he had at least three children.
He registered his pedigree in the Visitation of Suffolk of 1664 (Publications of the Harleian Society, vol. 61, p.9). There is a saying--little more than a legend--that the arms claimed by Moody of Ipswich in the Visitation of Suffolk in 1664 were the arms granted, 6 Oct. , 32 Henry VIII [1540], to Edmund Moody, who afterwards lived at Bury St. Edmunds, in recognition of his having saved the life of King Henry VIII by leaping into a ditch into which the King had fallen and lifting up his head. (CF. Davy’s Suffolk Pedigree, in British Museum, Additional MSS., 19142, fo. 194.) These same Arms were allowed to Sergeant Major John Moody, of Ipswich, by Sir Edward Bysshe, Clarencieux, in 1664. (Harl. MS 1085). ®2665 This deed has also been ascribed to Edward Moody of Aldersfield, co. Worcester. ®1463 "To son John Moody, my lands in Ireland" will of Samuel Moody Feb 1657/8 ®2630 ®2621 2. John, bapt. 3 Dec. 1617; became a merchant in Ipswich and was a captain of foot and major of horse in the Parliamentary army in the Civil War. “Col. John Moody recommended to command a regiment of foot to be raised in the County. 1654.” Thurloe’s State Paper’s, Vol. 3. p. 292. He entered his pedigree in the Visitation of Suffolk in 1664 by the College of Arms, claiming the arms granted to his ancestor Edmund 1 Moody in 1540, which claim was allowed by the Heralds of the College of Arms. (Harleian Mss. 1085, British Museums, London.) He died in 1680.
John’s son Thomas writes ““and in his booke this caracter of my father Major John Moody written as followeth by Mr. John Gibbons (a member of the Heralds office) one formerly of my father’s family.
“I was greatly beholdinge to the great grandson of this Edm. Moody who was an excellent soldier and scholar, he was versed exceedingly in the Mathematicks, and in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, and spake Dutch very well, and it was by his means I went into Holland in the year 1647, which begat in me a strange desire of seeing foreign countrys. He was borne in St. Edmunds Bury, where the said Edm. Moody [lived] after he left the court.” ®1486
