Cemetery records.

research of T L Scribner on www.rootsweb.com -
Capt. Clement Moody was a great-great-grandson of The Immigrant, John Scriven. He served in the Massabesick (Waterborough, Maine) Militia in the Revolutionary War. In making reference to Clement's wife, Mary, the CENTER CEMETERY RECORD BOOK (Stowe Town Clerk) says "Clem's wife." The record of her death also states "probably the wife of Capt. Moody." "A search of the records in the Registry of deeds at Alfred reveals that Clement Moody of Stow, then in the County of Chittenden, [now County of Lamoille] Vt., found his way into town and being satisfied that there was an opportunity for a 'living' purchased from James Barnes December 28, 1795, from John Wheelwright April 28, 1801 and from John Smith February 13, 1802 tracts of land which, included this pond, and contained more than 300 acres. The record of these conveyances is found in Volume 68 at Pages 194, 195 and 196. This John Smith was the first settler in town. That Clement Moody had a large family is indicated by the abundance of stone walls that yet remain and the record of vital statistics which show: Elizabeth Moody married Joseph Pike, Jr. Dec. 20, 1787; Sarah Moody married Edward Scribner, Jr. 19 November, 1789; Clement Moody, Jr. married Mehetable Scribner Jan. 1, 1794. Lois m. John Pike April 7, 1796.
