Phyllis, Chamberlain, John and Daniel S Hudson/Hutson are listed in the 1840 census for Franklin County.......Moses Hudson/Hutson purchased land in Franklin County, although he doesn't appear in the census records..........Is there a connection ? Chamberlain was born NC, and he bought 7 or 8 parcels of land in Franklin County, as did Moses.

New to list and very impressed with the excellent websites for Hamilton Co IL. Seeking Moses Hudson/Hutson, who appears to have come to what is now Hamilton CO IL after 1810 (when he is in Livingston Co KY.) Appears as a 60-70 year-old in the 1830 Hamilton Co IL census, probably with (son?) Abraham, age 30-40 in 1830. Moses not in the 1840 census. ANYTHING about him, children, etc. will be greatly appreciated. I believe him to be the father of my oldest proven, John Hutson (b. c. 1793 NC- 1871 Livingston Co KY) Thanks, Phyllis Hutson Richerson
