WILLIAM MOODY was born 1611 in Ipswich, Suffolk Co. Eng, and died Oct 25, 1673 in Newbury, MA. He married SARAH. He left Southhampton, Apr 10, 1634, on the ship Mary & John, and landed at Boston at the end of May. With 100 others, he removed to Ipswich, MA and remained there for the winter. He was then induced to settle in the new town of Newbury and was admitted as a Freeman May 6, 1635. A Saddler, Furrier & Smith.

An excerpt from "Genealogical and Family History of the State of New Hampshire: A Record of ...," by Ezra S. Stearns, William Frederick: “William Moody, the American ancestor and principal progenitor of the Moody name in New England, came from Wales, England, in 1633, wintered in Ipswich in 1634, and removed to Newbury with the first settlers of that town in 1635. Here he was admitted free-man and received a grant of ninety-two acres of land. There is a tradition that he was a blacksmith by trade, and was the first person in New England to adopt the practice of shoeing oxen to enable them to walk on ice. Whether he ever acquired the enviable appellation of 'The learned Blacksmith' is a matter of some doubt, but that he was a generous patron of letters seems evident from the fact that such a large number of his immediate descendants entered the learned professions. William Moody's wife was Sarah, by whom according to the best authority, he had three children, Samuel, Josuah , and Caleb. .Caleb Moody married twice and had a large family. He was Representative from Newbury in the General Court of Massachusetts 1677-78, and during the administration of Governor Andros was imprisoned five weeks for having spoken in censure of the course of that tyrannical official.

Full text of "Biographical sketches of the Moody family:"Source: : MR. WILLIAM MOODY, the principal progenitor of our name in New England, came, according to the best records we can obtain, from Wales, England, in 1633; wintered in Ipswich in 1634; and removed to Newbury, with the first settlers of that place, in 1685. Tradition asserts that they landed on the north bank of the river, about one hundred rods below the spot where the bridge now stands. Here Mr. Moody was admitted a freeman, and received a grant of ninety-two acres of land. His wife's name was Sarah, by whom, according to uniform tradition, he had three children,- Samuel, Joshua and Caleb. Joshua was born in 1632, Caleb in 1637, and the date of Samuel's birth we have not obtained, but it is generally supposed that he was born previous to his father's emigration to this country. The indefatigable historian of "Ould Newbury," Joshua Coffin, Esq., asserts that Mr. Moody had a fourth son, William, and endeavors to prove this assertion by giving the date of his marriage, the names of his children, &c. We regret to be compelled to dissent from so high an authority; but Mr. Coffin himself has furnished us with the grounds of our doubt. He says that William was married in 1684, at which time the three other brothers had been married between twenty-five and thirty years. Supposing him to have been born near the time of his father's coming to this country, he must have been, at the time of his marriage, about fifty years of age. Then, again, his death is put down as having occurred in 1730, making him about one hundred years of age. His wife's death is mentioned as having taken place in 1702, aged 38, rather a young woman to be united to a man of his years. Now we think all this may be very satisfactorily explained, by supposing that Mr. Coffin has identified William, first son of Samuel Moody, as a son of William, instead of a grandson. Taking this explanation to be the fact in the case, there will then appear no discrepancy in dates, or improbabilities as to age. Mr. Coffin's assertion is also contradicted by various statements of the writer's grandfather, Rev. Silas Moody, who was bom more than one hundred years ago, in Newbury, and was probably well acquainted with the genealogy of his ancestors. (editor's note (Terry Glasco): The ship Mary and John departed from Southhampton or London England abt March 24/26, 1634 with her Master, Robert Sayres, arriving in New England. Mainifested as passengers were Moody/Moudey William, Moody Mrs. Sarah and Moody Joshua.)William Moody, as well as his three sons, were of considerable note, both in the ecclesiastical and in the civil afiairs of the town. The names of William, Samuel, and Caleb Moody often occur in the various committees of the church; from which we may infer that they were not only pious men, but also possessed much practical wisdom and general intelligence. There is a tradition that William Moody was by trade a blacksmith, and that he was the first deacon in New England who adopted the practice of shoeing oxen, to enable them to walk on ice. Whether he ever acquired the enviable appellation of "the learned blacksmith," is a matter of some doubt; but that he was a generous patron of letters, seems evident from the fact that so large a number of his immediate descendants entered the learned professions. Indeed, almost all the early Moodys were distinguished by the maturity and activity of their minds, and their uncommon intelligence, having exhibited an enlightened and far-reaching observation quite in advance of the age in which they lived. There have been nearly forty persons of the name, who have graduated at the New England colleges.
