Norris - Your question, is there any known relationship between this Jonathan Rudd and Mary Rudd, b c 1648, married Thomas Bingham maybe 1665-6, who became the martiarch of the Binghams in America? YES - Lt. Jonathan Rudd was Mary Rudd's father. Thus, all descendants of Thomas Bingham are also descendants of Lt. Jonathan Rudd. I haave two Rudd lineages: 1st, from Nathaniel [2] & his 2nd m. to Abigail Hartshorn, and also from Mary [2] & Thomas Bingham! My dau-in-law, Nadine Knight, is descended from Nathaniel [2] & his 1st m. to Mary Post... giving my grandson, (aptly named) Jonathan Rudd, 3 lineages from Lt. Jonathan Rudd! Are you a Rudd or Bingham descendant??? Genealogy/ the search for one's ancestry is a fascinating journey. I was fortunate to travel on an ancestral tour to England in 1994, visiting places inhabited by my TOWNE ancestors in 1500-1600s, and worshipped in St. Nicholas Cathedral, Great Yarmouth, where William TOWNE exchanged marriage vows with Joanna BLESSING, in 1620. What a memorable experience! JanetRudd in Illinois
