*Moody-Chenery T.A.G. article pt.2 Publication: The American Genealogist, 1989 2. JohnC Chenery (ThomasD) was born ca. 1499 and died at Kennett, Cambridgeshire, between 25 Oct 1549 and 21 Oct 1550, the dates when his will was written and proved, respectively. He married, say 1520, Emma (-----), who survived him and died in Moulton, Suffolk, between 21 Nov 1558 and 8 June 1560, the dates of the writing and proving her will. John and Emma (-----) Chenery resided in Kennett, Cambridgeshire. Relatively well-to-do landowners, both left wills. He was buried in the Kennett churchyard according to the will of his son John. Her will calls her "of Moulton, suggesting either that she may have come originally from Moulton and had gone back to live with relatives, or (perhaps more likely)that she was living with one of her children in that parish. One of the witnesses to her will was Thomas Moody, parson of Moulton and brother of Richard Moody of Moulton, from whom the New England family here treated derive. (That he was the brother of Richard Moody is proved by the record of the administration in 1576 of his intestate estate, recorded in PCC administrations. In it, he is referred to as Thomas Moody, "clericus, of Islington, Middlesex, and his principal heir is George Moody, presently a minor in the care of Edward Colt of Moulton, Suffolk. In addition, an early Chancery dispute is on record, File 1453, #39-42, between Thomas Modye parson of Moulton and Richard his brother. Subject: "exclusion from complainant,s parsonage which defendant has been permitted to inhabit at will.) Another connection between the families which predates the marriage of George Moody and Margaret Chenery is the statement in the will of Richard Moody himself, who refers to sheep he owns which are "now going at Kennett with John Chenery. Children (Chenery) of JohnC and Emma (-----): 3 i. JohnB b. between 1520 and 1535; d. at Kennett in 1575 4 ii. William d. at Kennett in 1568 5 iii. Richard d. at Kennett between 1563 and 1568 iv.

Children as named in the will of Emma Chenery in 1558:Fyne (female), Audrey, Richard, Phillipp and Emma Heyward.. Phillipp may be the unmarried female servant RichardB Chenery named in his will in 1563. Audrey was named in the will of WilliamB Chenery in 1567 as his goddaughter. "Fyne Heyward (named in Emma Chenery,s will) may refer to the same girl as "Sym Heyward (named in JohnC Chenery,s will) - the clerk may have mistranscribed one or the other. v. Elizabeth m. (Thomas?) Perkins, probably in the 1540s. Two daughters of hers, Marion and Emma, both specified as being under 14 years of age, were named in the will of JohnC Chenery, the grandfather in 1549. Emma (but not Marion) was also named in the will of Emma Chenery in 1558. vi. Katherine m. by 1549 to Thomas Gilbert.
