Lonna: I can't lay claim to this Pleasant HUDSON information - it was sent to me by another HUDSON researcher - but I have record of a Pleasant HUDSON b abt 1813 of Henry Co, TN - md Sarah KEMP. He was s/o Abraham HUDSON (ca1729-1806) [which doesn't make sense if he was born in 1813], and Elizabeth TYLER. Abraham was s/o Henry HUDSON Sr (ca 1700-1760), & Mary RUSSELL. The above Pleasant HUDSON had a son John Wesley HUDSON who md Phoebe WALKER; they had a son James Lewis HUDSON who md Susanna Jane ROSS; and they had children Mary Elizabeth, Martha Ann and James HUDSON. Contact me via my email & I will give you the name of the contributor of this information if you are interested.
