The Moodys were originally from Boston, where they arrived in 1634. Later generations ended up in Pennsylvania, where Nathaniel and his future wife Sally Snyder were born. They lived in Sheshequin, Bradford County, Pennsylvania for nearly all their lives. The portraits are listed in the inventory of Nathaniel's estate in 1853 when his widow, Sally, was granted letters of administration. Restored.
