There seems to be some discrepancies about Tillman's descendants. His obituary (newspaper unknown): "Enterprise - Tillman Elias Rudd, 74, died at his home yesterday morning in Enterprise. Funeral services will be held at 3 pm today at the West View Baptist Church. Burial will be in the Enterprise City Cemetery with Searcy's Brown Service Funeral Home directing. Surviving are his wife; a daughter, Mrs Essie Mae Lott, Jacksonville, Fla; four sons, Orman and Grady Rudd, both of Jacksonville, Charles Rudd of Opp, and Ronald Rudd, Enterprise; his mother, Mrs. Emma Rudd, Mobile; a sister, Mrs. Mollie Belle Parker, Mobile; a brother, Lex Rudd, Ponce de Leon, Fla; six grandchildren and one great grandchild." Comments from this researcher: This obit is the only appearance of a child named Ronald as this name does not appear in any census records. "Essie" in the obit is obviously Mollie so this is probably an error on the person supplying the obit data. "Lex" in the obit is his brother Alexis Lee Rudd, Sr. I also have in my notes that he married again to a Mary Martha Walls some time after 1945 so I have to assume there was a divorce from Pamelia but I have no proof of either event. When Orman died April 7, 2001 in Jacksonville, Florida, his obit only mentions a wife, Erma and a brother, Grady surviving him so it appears that Orman and Erma had no children. I would be happy to try to answer other questions about the Minor Rudd family if the person asking the question would like to contact me directly. -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Lavista" <lavista@comcast.net> > Descendants of Tillman Elias Rudd > > Generation No. 1 > > > 1.
