James MOODY from 1753 Co. Armagh Poll Book
« on: Thursday 17 May 12 19:57 BST (UK) »
From a listing of a 1753 Lisraw(didn't see an entry for this place under the main listing of counties for Ireland here, maybe today its known by another name, but this is what it says from the year 1753) - on a Poll Book listing for Lisraw in 1753 a James MOODY appears and it says out beside his name to the left - 615- L10 and then to the right of his name it says Lisraw (spelled just like that) and beside that is the letter "C" .  (can anyone tell me what the "C" means?)
  What I am trying to determine is, does anyone have any info past 1753 of a James MOODY in Lisraw?  I can't seem to find him listed there anymore, OR is he the Rev. James MOODY who was in Newry, Co. Down?    I am wondering if this James Moody in 1753 Lisraw, ~might~ be my 5th grt. grandfather. There seems to be no records of him in the U.S. that I can clearly determine so I am only guessing that he must have emirgrated to the U.S. sometime around c1750 and up to c1773. We have Ydna proof of a link to Moody's from Lenamore/Magilligan and from Ballymoney, Co. Antrim.
  Any info regarding any James MOODY's in Lisraw, Co. Armagh, No.  Ireland after 1753 would be Greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Hi,
   The townland may be LISSARAW. There seems to be two with this name, one in Newry District and the other in Castleblaney District. Of course it may be one divided between the two districts.

Regards
Stewart, Irwin, Morrison, Haslett, Murrell - Dungiven area Co. Londonderry
Browne, Barrett -Co.Armagh
Neil, Smyth _Co. Antrim

Thank You "kinkerswell" for the info. My apologies for being so long in responding to your info. I appreciate you taking the time to do that look up for me.
 As we have found more and more info in regards to the Lisraw (we've seen so many variant spellings on this place), MOODY's, it does appear that we may have a Genealogical link to this branch.
 I just wish we could find out if the family came to Nor. Ireland from Scotland or England, that could be a big breakthrough for us if we could.
 However, until then, we appreciate every bit of help we get.
Cheers.
