An Act for the Attainder of divers Protestants in Ireland.
Introduced in the Irish Parliament, Dublin 12 May 1689. Extracted from the Annals of Derry, Robert Simpson, Londonderry, Hempton,1847. Reprinted North West Books, Limavady ,1987.
This act repealed the acts of settlement and all grants, patents and certificates as applied to the persons named. They were all Protestants named by Members of Parliament. The Act was immediately passed three times and then locked away so that any Protestants might not see it, until the expiry date (November) by which time any appeals had to be made. In consequence the property and goods of the persons named were seized for King James II. Some 2,441 persons were named and all declared “ traitors, and adjudged to suffer the pains of death and forfeiture, without hope of any pardon, after the first day of November then ensuing.” To make sure James also approved another Act which prevented the English Parliament from rescinding the Irish legislation.
Of those of the City and County of Londonderry, who were, by the aforesaid decree, attainted and declared traitors for their adherence to the Protestant religion, the following is a catalogue, taken from the Rolls Office, Dublin.

1630 GOVERNOR WALKER
The Rev. George Walker was sprung from a Yorkshire family,[1] which had made its home in the North of Ireland. His father, whose name was the same as his own, was successively Rector of Badony in the Diocese of Derry, and of Kilmore in the Diocese of Armagh. He entered on the former charge in 1630, and died in the latter on the loth of September, 1677. He owed his preferment in the Church to the friend of Laud, Dr. John Bramhall, so well known for his austerity to Nonconformists, and who was successively Bishop of Derry and Archbishop of Armagh. He, too, was a Yorkshireman, and may have had some acquaintance with the Walkers, before he and they settled in Ireland
The son of the Rector of Kilmore, who obtained such celebrity in connection with the siege of Derry, was born, it is said, in 1618. He was educated at the University of Glasgow.[2] In 1669 he was Rector of Lissan in the neighbourhood of Cookstown, and in 1674 he added to this preferment the rectory of the parish of Donaghmore in the neighbourhood of Dungannon. His wife was Isabella Maxwell, a daughter of the Maxwells of Finnebrogue, in County Down.

1787 William Moody, born abt this time.Died 1848 buried Londonderry Northern Ireland, married abt 1811,Martha Walker, she was born abt 1777, and died 1833 Londonderry Nothern Ireland.
Their Children: David Walker Moody,. and William Moody, born 1821,died 1902, he married Martha Hemphill, she was born abt 1848, and died 1915.
This is not confirmed, but is probably correct: William Moody [according to family legaend] went to America, New York, with his brother David W. about 1844/45. William returned to [possibly because of a family legacy] probably in about the 1850's.
David as the eldest, should have inherted ,so suspect the father and David Walker Moody were dead when he came back to Northern Ireland.
From Louise; David Walker & William may well have had other brothers & Sisters but our elderly relative can't recall hearing about anyone else. [Louise has also added that William Moody was at Glasgow University abt 1811?]

Eliza possibly is the wife of David Walker Moody from Ireland and sister in law of my great grandfather William Moody who was from Limavady, Co Londonderry.She would have had a daughter Gertrude and a son David William, both of whom were alive in the 1880s.I have always suspected that David Walker and his wife died in the 1850s as my greatgrandfather returned to Ireland. Oral history is that he returned because of an unexpected legacy.

When searching the web recently I came across a reference in an antiquarian book to a David W Moody who was a lithographer. The book was published in New York in four volumes 1848-1850. Anyone know anything about him? Could he be the David W Moody, artist in the 1850 census?

Hello Louise,
Please see my message posting #8941 where I list from the 1850 Williamsburg, Kings Co., New York Census a D. W. MOODY age 31 (b.c1819) in Ireland whose occupation was listed as an "artist". His family is also listed.
Then based upon an earlier message that you posted, msg. # 9204 where you state that your grt. grandfather William Moody who you said was born in 1821 and that he had a older brother David Walker MOODY (since the D. W. MOODY of the above 1850 census was b.c1819, this would be in the very right time frame), I think it would be fairly safe to guess that this is your William's elder brother and most likely the David Moody lithographer you found mentioned on the internet.
I have also recently found out that apparently some of our Ydna MOODY's did indeed come from the Newtown Limavady area so any of those Moody's that I mentioned in my most recent postings here, are most likely to be relations of ours as well.
From an old posting in 2007 that a lady replied to me, she wrote that she knew from her own family history that her Moody (Moodie) relatives in Co. Londonderry came over from Scotland and settled there. Her family also married into the CRAWFORD line which appears in several of our Ydna
William Moody went to America in the early 1840s and returned to Ireland where he married and had a family. He went to America with his brother David Walker Moody of whom I know nothing else. In a draft will in 1880 my greatgrandfather mentions his nephew David William Moody and his niece Gertrude Murl (Moody) who were residing in the United States - no mention of his brother so he was presumably dead at this stage. My greatgrand father was born in 1821. David Walker was his elder brother. While in America my greatgrandfather was a member of the Institute of Mechanics in New York.
I noted from your postings relating to 1850 census a D.W. Moody, artist born Ireland. Williamsburg, King's County NY. Wife Eliza 31 b Ire, David 4 bNY, Gertrude 2 b NY. The names and the time frame fit perfectly. Do you know anything else about this family?
