Ordered that Edward ffitzgarrell forthwth render and deliver unto ffrancis Redford for the use of Tho. Moody orphane nine breeding sheepe and one young ramme belonging to the sd Moody, wth costs als exec.

Francis Redford recognized Samuel in his will. Samuel also had a son named Samuel as the will names "my grandson in law Samuel Moody Junr". [The term "in law" at that time meaning a step relationship]
This relationship has been interpreted in error by some and Ann & Francis Poindexter are said to have had a daughter who married Samuel Moody, which is incorrect. The only known children of Ann & Francis are the two sons, John and Francis, who were named in his will.
