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 This act repealed the acts of settlement and all grants, patents and certificates as applied to the persons named.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.

ADMEET If anyone has further info regarding these MOODY families I would be Most interested. The William MOODY (father of your Lesley) who married Jane ALEXANDER in 1798, do you happen to know if this William had a brother or a relative named John MOODY who owned a bleach green? A William and his half brother Robert MOODY (both sons of a John MOODY but they had different mothers) came to Pittsburgh, PA in the early 1800's. William married into the LEDLIE family and they had links to the EAKIN/EKIN family all coming out of Nor. Ireland to America and some I believe were from this same area where the Moody's were from...the Limavady area.
