   Andrew Witty file R19064.
     Image 3 states he died 6 May 1819 [sic]. This should probably be
     6 May 1818, as letters of administration were issued on his estate
     on 25 May 1818. [Rockingham Co., NC, Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, 
     May 1813-November 1819 Book, p. 390]
5. Estimate form having a son Thomas L. Moody born ca. 1778.
6. The wife of Thomas Moody was named Mary. See details of his Rev. War service.
   Evidence she was the daughter of John Witty includes:
    a) On 13 Mar. 1824 her son Thomas L. Moody sold 104 acres to John Whitsett.
       [Guilford Co, NC, Record of Deeds 17, pp. 308-309].
       The tract was part of an original grant to John Moody on 14 Oct. 1783. 
       There is no record of Thomas having purchased the land.
    b) Thomas L. Moody named a son Elijah W. Moody. While Elijah's middle name
       is not known, it would appear that it was likely Witty, as Elijah's brother
       John R. Moody named a son Elijah Wittie Moody.
    c) DNA evidence with matches with descendants of John Witty's children
       Andrew, Elijah, and Ezekiel. See Mary Witty's WikiTree page.
7. Robert Scott will, Guilford County, North Carolina, Will Book A, pp. 340-341.
      His 1791 will named his wife Mary Scott, and also left his saddle and bridle
      to Thomas Moody.
8. Elijah Witty Household, 1790 Rockingham Co., NC, p. 528.
      1 male over 16 [himself], 3 males under 16, 3 females [1 an assumed wife]
      Five children would suggest a marriage ca. 1780, and birth ca. 1757.
9. Goodspeed Publishing Company, History of Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Crawford
     & Gasconade Counties, Missouri (Chicago: Goodspeed Publishing Co., 1888), p. 843.
     Bio of grandson James Whitsett listed his mother as Alpha, youngest of 7
     children of Elijah and Trainey (Cummings) Witty. See Elijah's will and #10.
     Traney was his second wife and maiden name Ross. Elijah's first wife is
     believed to be a Cummings based on this sketch. Note there is no evidence to
     support the claim in the bio that Elijah was the son of an Ezekiel and Nancy.
     The only known Ezekiel in this time period is Elijah's brother.
