Dear Jane- Your query #5 - regarding Lt. Jonathan RUDD. Although several sources state that his bride was Mary Metcalf - this is incorrect. Her name is yet a mystery, and his birth & parents are yet to be discovered, though many still search. My husband has 2 lines from Lt. Jonathan, and my daughter-in-law has another - so my grandson, Jonathan Rudd, has 3 lineages from the progenitor of this Rudd family! My little Jonathan was born in Fairbanks, AK, in 1989 - so I think it fitting that they named him after the first Jonathan - Lt. Jonathan was a pioneer in New England, and my grandson was born in the newest part of our country! I am new to this list, and look forward to sharing information with others who are researching their ancestry. Regarding your other questions, have you tried Godfrey Library in Middletown? I understand they have an excellent collection for genealogical research. Their website is http://www.godfrey.org Are you descended from Lt. Jonathan? There is a growing list of descendants online sharing information... if you're interested in subscribing, let me know. Good luck in your research. Janet in Illinois
