Notes

Janice McAlpine:
Mary Francis Moody was the daughter of Edward Moody of Essex and Albemarle Co., Virginia. She was born abt. 1740-45 probably in Goochland or Albemarle Co., Virginia. She married Robert Lilly 1759-1763 in Albemarle Co., Virginia. Robert Lily was on later records with at least two of Edward Moody's sons, John and Edmund. Robert Moody, who sometimes is erroneously listed as Mary Moody's father, moved his entire family to North Carolina in 1749, well before Mary married Robert Lilly. Robert Moody and Edward Moody are DNA matches, so they might have been brothers, but EDWARD, not Robert, was the father of Mary Frances Moody Lilly.

(Janice McAlpine: Robert and Ann Moody of Bristol Parish, Prince George Co., Virginia, did have a daughter Frances, but she died November 1732, in Bristol Parish, Prince George Co., Virginia. Her death is recorded in the vestry book and register of Bristol Parish. (See, "The vestry book and register of Bristol Parish, Virginia, 1720-1789," C. G. Chamberlayne; Bristol Parish (Va.), Richmond, Va., Priv. Print. [by W.E. Jones] 1898, page 340." Unfortunately, the death entry was misread a while back as a birth entry and your Mary Francis Moody was mistakenly grafted on to the wrong family.) (Donna Forney Clark: I have updated our database with this new information.)

Donna Forney Clark: Originally I thought that Mary Frances "Fanny" Moody (b. 1740-1645 & d. 1818) & Laurana/Larina/Lavina Moody (b. 29 Jan 1731) were sisters, but they were not.
Correction Source:
Janice McAlpine:
Laurana/Larina/Lavina Moody was born 29 Jan 1731 in Bristol Parish, Prince George Co., Virginia. Her parents were Robert and Ann Moody. Her birth date and baptism were recorded in the vestry book of the parish:

"The vestry book and register of Bristol Parish, Virginia, 1720-1789," C. G. Chamberlayne; Bristol Parish (Va.), Richmond, Va., Priv. Print. [by W.E. Jones] 1898, page 339: Laurana D. of Robert & ann Moody Born 29th Jany' 1731 Bap't apr 23: 1732.

Lavinia was related to Mary Frances "Fanny" Moody because there is a DNA match in the male descendants of Robert Moody and Edward Moody.
