Love this thread! Anyone remember learning about Dwight L. Moody, American evangelist and publisher? I wonder if he could have descended from some branch of this family.

And yes, what might things have looked like had Edmund not extricated (maybe hauled is a better word?) King Henry from the mud? I wouldn't pole vault at my skinniest!

Hello! Edmund’s 16th great-granddaughter here. I often feel like apologizing to people because he saved Henry (one of my least-favorite historical figures at that).

Regarding Dwight Lyman, it um…seems to depend upon who’s investigating? Our “official”genealogy says no, but yet he was my great-grandfather’s uncle. If anyone can explain how that works it would be much appreciated!

How many of 'yall' are LDS too (considering the Moody line from William Crestfield and onward for generations are?
https://www.geni.com/people/William-Moody/6000000003522775213

Checked their descendants and seem many have ties to Utah. Since LDS launched genealogy sites such at ancestry or familysearch.org (church members have free access), I've been able to see the Moody (Moodye) line back to Scotland in the 1200s.

Super cool
