Could I get a census lookup for John and Amanda Jane Hudgins who lived in Red Bank, La. in Vernan Parish. I have been told that Red Bank (creek?) is located where Newton ,La. is today. These are my great-grand parents and they lived there when my grandmother was born in 1873. By 1880 they had moved close to New Orleans where John Hudgins died and Amanda Jane was a widow with three children, Mary Ann, Helen and Johnny. If you can locate them, could you please send all the information about them? Thanks so much, Faye Wood
Faye, Vernon Parish wasn't formed until 1871 (from Natchitoches, Rapides and Sabine). I found no Hudgins (nor sound equivalent) in any of those parishes in 1870. I checked all the John Hudgins in the state except for one in 1870 Ascension Parish. The pages at Ancestry were so dark, I was not even able to locate a reference page number. If someone else has a better copy, there is a John Hutchen indexed in Donaldsonville, page 100. Sorry I wasn't able to be of more help, Linda in Georgia Census/Cemetery Lookup Volunteer Genealogy is my ONLY business. ----- Original Message ----- From: "faye wood" <marlyn1@jonesboronet.com> To: <LA-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 08, 2002 10:42 PM Subject: [LA-CEN] VERNON PARISH--1870--HUDGINS > Could I get a census lookup for John and Amanda Jane Hudgins who lived in Red Bank, La. in Vernan Parish.
