PirateKing Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I have been looking for a decent biography of the life of Christopher Moody for some time now, but have come up frustratingly empty handed. The internet is awash with images of his personalized Jolly Roger, which is actually fortunate, as otherwise it would be difficult to prove he actually existed. Anyone out there have any good links/leads/etc on Christopher Moody?

Fox Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Funnily enough the flag of his which appears all over the net is a mis-attribution. One of the troubles with trying to find information about Christopher Moody is that he wasn't a captain, he was one of Bart Roberts' men. William Moody was a little-known about pirate captain, and the two are often confused. Christopher Moody is mentioned fairly extensively in Johnson's chapter on Roberts, and appears to have been one of his officers. He was one of those hanged at Cape Corso in 1722.
