I either have a great bit Uh-Oh in my FTM or the old Same Name/Same birth-time and area scenario is about to play out again.
In my database I have the following info.I'm certainly not saying its correct, but just presenting it here for those of you who may link to these lines to ponder over.
Joseph Stowell MOODY b. Dec. 10, 1827 Saco, York Co., ME
married Nov. 29, 1859 perhaps in Ipswich, MA to Mary Jane WAKEFIELD who was b. 1832 perhaps in Ipswich and she died 1893 and is buried in Saco, York Co., ME.
Joseph Stowell MOODY died in 1905 and is also buried in Saco, York Co., ME.
His Parents are listed as Capt. Samuel MOODY and Hannah (Elizabeth) BARNARD.
CHILDREN of Joseph S. and Mary Jane MOODY I have listed as follows:
ODELION C. MOODY
George A. MOODY
Edgar H. MOODY
Lovina A. MOODY who married an unk. first name LITTLEFIELD
Joseph B. MOODY
Annie Stowell MOODY b. 1860 who d. 1916 and is buried in Saco, York Co., ME
and Samuel Lewis MOODY b. 1865 d. 1913 buried in same place as Annie.
In my NOTES about this particular Joseph S. MOODY I question whether or not he is the same Joseph S. MOODY found in the 1850 Ipswich, MA census at age 22 a manufacturer b. ME with wife "Mary Jane" age 23 b. ME and an Eben B. HILL age 22 manufacturer b. ME and his wife Susan HILL age 21 b. MA and their son Alvin HILL age 10 months old b. MA.
I also question whether this is the same Joseph S. MOODY found in the 1860 Augusta, Kennebec Co., ME census being age 31 b. ME with his wife Mary Jane, daug. Adeline C. age 9, son George A. age 7, and son Edgar H. MOODY age 3.
I believe This Joseph S. MOODY in Augusta to be the same one and I also believe he was at one time listed as a "Chemist" and is quite possibly the Joseph MOODY I found listed as a Chemist in an old bookstore in Hallowell, ME when I was up there last.
A Joseph S. MOODY is also listed in the 1850 Saco, ME census with his Mother Hannah where he is age 22 and an "Apothecary".
It would be worth checking the Dates of the 1850 Saco, ME census against the date of the 1850 Ipswich, MA census to see if this might be the Same Joseph S. MOODY.Could be he just came Home to Maine after being enumerated in MA with his family, for a visit or some job or something and was then listed in his Mother's household as well.
(Joseph Stowell Moody was listed as an Apothecary in the household of his mother Hannah in Saco, ME in 1850)
In 1870 Joseph and Mary Jane are found living in Uxbridge, Worcester, MA
Joseph S. MOODY age 43 Superintendant of a Cotton Mill b. ME
Mary J. age 47 b. ME
George A. 17 works in cotton mill b. MA
Edgar H. 13 at school b. ME
My Notes also ask - Is this George Augustus MOODY who was born Aug. 7, 1851 in So. Windham, Cumberland Co., ME who died Sept. 26, 1876 in Liberty, Waldo Co., ME?
1850 Saco, York Co., ME census has the following listed -
Hannah MOODY age 59 b. ME
Rachel B. MOODY age 32 b. ME
Joseph S. MOODY age 22 apothecary b. ME
Hannah B. MOODY age 18 b. ME
Elizabeth MOODY age 76 b. ME (Hannah's sister-in-law who never married).
For Joseph Stowell MOODY and Mary Jane's daughter Lovina A. MOODY who ~may~ have married the unk. Littlefield, I have a daughter born to them named Pearl LITTLEFIELD b.c1893.
I don't know if this helps or makes the situation more complicated.It seems there are too many Joseph S. MOODY's out there living in the same places or general areas that have as confused over time as my own 4th grt. grandfather Joseph D. MOODY was with the several of them found in Maine, MA and NH who all seemed to fit the mold too.
I hope you all can get this one sorted out, but the ydna results will definitely be a huge help on this one for you.
