Marty and Karla Grant

!NOTES:Due to lack of any records prior to 1900, "Richard" must be his middle name and he used his given name on other records. Either that or he was very good at dodging census takers, etc.
He was born in Franklin Co., NC per Civil War enlistment. His 1900 census entry says SC, and his D/C says Marion, SC;


!CENSUS:1850 x

!CENSUS:1860 x


!CIVIL WAR:Enlisted 27 Jan 1862 Co. I, 1st NC Infantry as Richard Moody, b. Franklin Co., NC, enlisted Wake Co., NC as Pvt.
* At first blush I would say the above is a different person, however the information matches exactly that which was put on the application for a Veteran's T/S for the Richard Moody of Robeson Co., NC.
