Notes:

"According to the Candler Manuscript in the British Museum, George Moody was 'famous for his housekeeping & honest & plain dealing.' By his will of 5 Aug. 1607, he left Fryettes to his eldest son, George, with 'sixscore acres of arable land.' He made his son-in-law, Thomas Kilborne, residuary legatee and executor, and gave him in trust for eleven years (with remainder to testator's son George) various lands and tenements. Out of the profits of the eleven years, Kilbourne was to pay £200 to Moody's son Samuel, £200 to his son John, £100 to his eldest daughter Elizabeth, and 100 marks each to his other daughters, Sara, Margaret, Anne, and Mary. Moody must have held his son-in-law in high regard to trust him with this responsibility for the portions of his children." [Hale, House and Related Families]
