This following is from my unpublished Moody family history: Frances "Fanny" Moody was born between about 1784 and 1788 (1784 calculated from 1810 Census of Randolph County, North Carolina. From the 1850 census of the same county, her birth year would be 1788) in North Carolina. She married Thomas Elliott. They are enumerated on the 1800 census in Randolph County with one male and one female under 10 years of age and one male and one female 26-45 years old. The Elliotts are not enumerated on the 1810 census on Randolph or Chatham counties, but it is possible that by that time Frances was at the William Moody plantation to take care of her mother and father. After his death, she took possession of the plantation claiming it repaid her taking care of her father and mother. (Estate Papers of William Moody, Randolph Co., NC. Document #1637) William's grandson Emsley Myrick rented the plantation from Frances about a year after William's death. Document # 1637) Eventually Frances and brother William Jr. were given a joint grant of part of the land on Polecat Creek including the mill. (document # get it) During the court proceedings Henry Bray stated that Frances Elliott "until lately was a married woman whose husband abandoned her." (Document #1693) Frances continued to live in Randolph County until her death sometime after 1850.
