Misc. Notes
He moved with his mother and stepfather to Barkhamstead, Connecticut. They remained the only family in that town for nearly 10 years. During all of which time, they were frequently alarmed by threats of the Indians. He settled in New Hartford, Connecticut. ®408 He served as an Ensign in the 26th Regiment during the Revolutionary War. ®610”He received the homestead of his father in settlement of the estate; his portion being enlarged by purchases, much afterwards. His house was about two miles in a north-east direction from the old meeting house in New Hartford, Conn. He was chosen one of the Selectmen of the town in 1780-1789-1790 and was frequently on committees to act for the interests of the place, during his long residence there. He was chosen Representative to the State Legislature in 1783 & 1791 and for a number of years served as Justice of the Peace in New Hartford. In the militia, he held the office of Lieutenant. The farms on which he lived, being difficult of cultivation, he disposed of the same and in the year 1794, removed with his family, then remaining with him, to ‘The Forks of The Unadilla’ where is now the town of Bridgewater, Oneida C., N. Y. ®2417 His oldest son, it appears had previously located there. Here the father remained and a part of the family. The three younger brothers, not so long afterwards, settled in what is now the town Rodman, Jefferson Co., New York. A son now living and who though then only six years of age, distinctly recollects their removal, thus writes: ‘We had to ford creeks and go through swamps and in some places were guided by marked trees.’ Mr. Moody was in person a full six feet in eight and well proportioned. He made no profession of religion, though he observed all it’s outward forms.” ®408
