Moody is my maiden name. My paternal grandfather told me we had a Scottish ancestor in the late 18th or early 19th century who was named McMuddaugh, or possibly MacMuddaugh, who changed it to Moody after he passed through Ellis Island. Moody is a relatively well-known surname in southeast Texas because of the wealthy Moody family of Galveston Island - to whom I am not related. Neither of these names appear in this database, which in the case of Moody surprises me, given its familiarity around here. Anybody know anything about either name?
