Thanks Jean. I received information about the Henry HUDSON, Sr. line in recent months. It didn't include a birth date for the Pleasant you refer to who was a son of Abraham HUDSON and Elizabeth TYLER. Like you I thought he would have been born sometime around 1770 considering the age of his mother. Perhaps you could send me the name of the researcher (off list) and if it different from the person who sent me the information I currently have, I will follow up. One of these days I will stumble onto the right record and the puzzle will be solved! Lonna Jean >snip Subject: [DC] Pleasant HUDSON Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2000 16:41:20 EST From: [email protected] To: [email protected] 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.
