Slomon remarried for a final time to Eliza Pearson, the daughter of a Confederate Captain named John William Pearson in 1870. Pearson died in the Civil War when he was leading Company B of the Ninth Infantry Florida, then part of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, through a cornfield at the Battle of Globe Tavern. Eliza Pearson graduated from Columbia College in 1865 majoring in French and Music. After Eliza graduated she moved back to her hometown just before the burning of Columbia by William Tecumseh Sherman's Union forces on February 17, 1865. John's hometown, and Eliza's, was Orange Springs, Florida only 30 miles north of Ocala. In 1873 Eliza gave birth to her first son named John Pearson Moody named after her father. In 1877 Eliza gave birth to Slomon Moody who became a Private in the Spanish–American War. In 1883 Eliza had Maxey Dell Moody who would establish his own business called M. D. Moody in 1913. Maxey's business would stay in operation for 100 years as the oldest family owned construction equipment distributor in the United States under Maxey Dell Moody Jr. and Maxey Dell Moody III.
