Posted on: Webster Parish, La. Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/La/Webster/397 Surname: Doyle, Hudson ------------------------- Seeking information on my gggrandparents Elijah Hudson (b. April 1794, Tn. - d. March 20, 1870, Boosier Parrish, La.) married Sarah Elizabeth Doyle (b. June 1833, Tn. - d. after 1900, Davilla, Milam County, Tx.) Elijah Hudson purchased land from the Government Land Office in Boosier (now in Webster) Parrish in 1849 and in 1860. I have a copy of his obituary (newspaper not known) which refers to him as Col.Elijah Hudson, says he volunteered under the immortal Jackson, was in Capt. Bill Chism's company and was a native of eastern Tennessee. The obituary also says, "He was married three times, and now leaves a widow comparatively young. Yet the mother of seven children and five of them small and five of them girls, and with but limited means of support." Sarah Doyle Hudson moved with some of her children to Davilla, Milam County, Texas during the 1870's. She is buried in the Davilla Cemetary. Any information on the Hudsons or Doyles would be greatly appreciated. Joe Kornegay
