I recall him mentioning the Moody surname. My Father was born May 12th 1909. When his Mother died he was to be farmed out to relatives and he took off to sea. He married Lois Elizabeth Mason from Albemarle NC and I am their only child, born in Washington, DC. I have never been to Maine but I did meet several of my Fathers sisters at his funeral. If any of this sounds familliar, please contact me. Regards, James L. Byers
