Mary-- I don't have the 1880 census (I thought YOU did!), but here is what I found for an Alonzo MOUDY in 1900: 1900 AR Searcy Co. Big Creek Twp. /ED120 sh10/ p 23 hh 124-129 MOUDY, Alonzo head Sep 1855 44 m22 AR AR AR --Betsie A. wife Jul 1860 39 m22 10ch/7 liv AR AR AR cannot read or write --Carroll son Apr 1881 19 s AR AR AR farm labour --Elnora dau Aug 1883 16 s AR AR AR --Nancy D. dau Mar 1889 11 s AR AR AR --John A. son Oct 1891 8 s AR AR AR --Henry O.?/D.? son Jul 1894 5 s AR AR AR --Ollie M. dau Feb 1897 3 s AR AR AR I looked in the 1870 AR census index. No MOUDY was listed, but plenty of MOODY names were, including some in Searcy and Yell counties. No Catherine MOODY was listed, but generally only heads of households and individuals with surnames different from the head of household get into the index, and Catherine may have been living with an older son or another MOODY/MOUDY family.
