My Uncle Joe Marshall Moody, Aunt Phyllis and I have been researching our Arthur Moody for 10 years or more. Uncle Joe just did the DNA and we found out we ARE NOT related to the Thomas, Robert and Samuel Moody that everybody "says" we are!!!

Look at this site. Uncle Joe is #45......in the Light aqua group.
The Thomas Samuel and Robert are in the light purple group.
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~rwmoody/dna/y-dna_results.htm

We have been trying to figure out where Arthur came in.....he IS NOT listed in Henry Moody's will in Chesterfield County, Va. (have a copy). We do know and have proof that Arthur and Henry Moody were brothers, Henry Jr.'s will mentions "his Uncle Arthur Moody", and we do know that Arthur and Henry (brothers) married Mary and Elizabeth Marshall (sisters)......
Beyond that we are at a wall.
Any info you might have will be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks

The Marshall/Bradshaw book was written by K.Marshall Cook who was once Attorney General for the state of Va. Apparently after writing it he experienced "burnout" like so many genealogists do . I discovered it quite by accident while researching in Rice Va. The post office sent me to his mother's house and she showed it to me . At that time there were no copies left and she generously let me take her copy and have it copied . It took me back six generations ! The charts (all hand drawn) are wonderful . His address is K.Marshall Cook, Sunnyside, 2412 Hampden Row , Rockville, Virginia 23146. 804-749-4295. If he doesn't have copies available and it is all right with him I will copy it for you .

Their book has everything there is about Alexander Marshall and Elizabeth Worsham who were ancestors of Francis Moody. Also has the descendants of Alexander and Elizabeth - wonderful book - well indexed and well referenced. There is a picture of the graves of Alexander and Elizabeth.

Alexander Marshall was born in 1676 at VA and lived in a section of Henrico County, Virginia which later became Chesterfield County. He was a tanner by trade and from his many land purchases in later life, it appears that he became a farmer and a man of means.

Alexander's wife, Elizabeth Worsham, was the widow of Thomas Ligon. The inventory of the estate of Thomas Ligon was filed on May 7, 1705. On August 20, 1706 a proceeding of Orphans Court of Henrico stated that "Alexander Marshall, who lately married Mrs. Elizabeth Ligon" was given custody of Lodowick Tanner. Elizabeth was the daughter of Capt. John and Phoebe Worsham. She is mentioned as "my daughter, Elizabeth Marshall" in Capt. Worsham's will in 1729. Alexander and Elizabeth had four children.

Alexander and Elizabeth made their home at the residence she had shared with her late husband. Two of her daughters by Ligon, Phebe and Elizabeth, received a parcel of land known as "Powell's" from their father's estate. Alexander purchased 86 acres of this tract in 1725 from Phebe and her husband Henry Walthall. In 1733 he bought another 100 acres, which was probably the remainder of "Powell's," from Elizabeth and her husband James Anderson.

On January 7, 1725 Alexander patented 2000 acres of land on the north side of Appomattox river and the south side of Butterwood Creek. This tract was part of the formation of Goochland County in 1728. Alexander patented 3000 acres in Goochland on September 28, 1730. This included the acreage of his former patent. http://image.vtls.com/collections/land.office.html

The discovery of family relationships is often possible through wills and records of birth and baptisms. Sometimes, in the absence of a will, land records may be helpful. Alexander left a will which was probated in Henrico County, but no copy survives. However, there are some land records which are revealing.

In 1738 Alexander Marshall sold six hundred acres to George Williamson who choose not to have the land registered. Alexander died in 1743, leaving his will. When George Williamson died in 1752, the court ordered that his land be surveyed. It was then discovered that Williamson never received forty acres of the land he bought from Marshall. The court determined that William Marshall, Francis Marshall, and John Todd were now enjoying the use of this land, and ordered in 1769 that these three pay 39 pounds to the grandson of George Williamson for the forty acres.

Children
i. Alexander Marshall
ii. William Marshall
iii. Elizabeth Marshall married John Todd
iv. Francis Marshall was born about 1712.

Alexander Marshall served as vestryman for Bristol Parish (1723-24). He died on May 3, 1743 and is buried with his wife Elizabeth on the left bank of the Appomattox River, near its mouth. A double headstone marks their graves. Both are buried near present "Bayview" Chesterfield CO. VA with a double tombstone

Goochland county formed in 1728 from Henrico County (one of the original shires), it was named for Sir William Gooch, lieutenant-governor in 1727-1749. Its county seat is Goochland. From its original territory came Albemarle Co, Amherst Co, (part of) Appomattox Co, Buckingham Co, Cumberland Co, Fluvanna Co, Nelson Co, Nottoway Co, & Powhatan Co

Parishes: King William Parish (1728-1749); Saint James Northam Parish (1744-), Saint James's Parish (1728- 1744), Saint James Southam Parish (1744-1749)

Cumberland County was named for William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, third son of George II. Parishes: King William 1749-1777 (also Chesterfield Co. & after 1777 Powhatan Co.), Littleton 1772- , Saint James Southam 1749-1777 (afterwards, Powhatan Co.) Virginia, A Guide to the Old Dominion

Cumberland is the county seat of Cumberland County, named for Prince William, the Duke of Cumberland. It was here at the Effingham Tavern where Colonel John Chiswell killed Robert Routledge with a sword, for questioning his accounts of his "lead mines".

Cumberland County was created in 1748 from Goochland County, which came from Henrico County (original shire)

" Mr. Alexander Marshall received large grants of land in Henrico County. Marshall bought from Michell Mitchell his rights to a survey of 628 acres in Henrico County and applied to the Land Office for a patent. On 1 April 1717 the Land Office issued the patent in the name of Mitchell, who had been dead a long time, and not in the name of Alexander Marshall. Marshall discovered the error and obtained a corrected patent in 1721. Alexander Marshall was a processioner in Bristol Parish 1723-24. The Bristol Parish vestry appointed Matthew Ligon and Alexander Marshall tobacco counters from Swift Creek to the lower bounds of the parish 29 June 1724 and again 28 June 1725. An Act of Assembly mandated the appointment of "men of Experience and dignity for Careful Viewing of each man’s crop of Tobacco.” The purpose of counting tobacco was to hold down production and prop up prices. On 7 January 1725/6 he secured a patent for 2,000 acres in the north side of Appomattox River, and on the south side of Butterwood Creek. This land fell later in Goochland. On 28 September 1730, he renewed his patent of 2,000 acres and obtained a patent on 1,000 additional acres. The Land Office issued a patent on another huge tract of 1,950 acres in 1731. Marshall sold 2,250 acres on both sides of Swift Creek, called the "Great Swamp,” to Thomas Friend in 1733. To George Williamson Alexander sold 600 acres of his 1725-patent in 1738. Henrico County taxed Marshall on six levies and 444 acres in 1736. Alexander and William Marshall presented their father’s now-lost will July 1743. Alexander and his wife were buried on the left bank of the Appomattox River near its mouth, upon a highland that belonged to Richard Epes. A double headstone still stands there with the following inscription, 'Here lyeth the Body of Mr. Alexander Marshall who departed this life May 3rd. 1743, Aged 67 years. Here lyeth the body of Mrs. Elizabeth Marshall who departed this life Feb. 1743/44 Aged 67 years.' "

5. DESCRIPTION:

Guarded by immense oaks whose strong boughs reach high over the surrounding forest, these two graves of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Marshall lie together, overlooking the James River.
Next to the grave of Richard Kennon, who is buried at "The Brick House", these graves are perhaps the oldest in Chesterfield County. These two graves share the same tombstone. This is approximately three feet in height, and nearly as wide. It is not of the conventional type of tombstone, and prehaps the only one of its kind in the county, having been made of slate instead of the customary granite or marble.

6. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

Despite its age, this tombstone is in an execllent state of preservation, and the inscription, though partly buried beneath wood's mold and dead leaves, is nevertheless very clear. This is as follows:

1. Here lyeth the
Body of Mr.
ALEXANDER MARSHALL
Who Departed this
Life May 3, 1743
Age 67 years.

2. Here lyeth the
Body of Mrs.
