Paul has sent an article on the death of Comfort B Luddington in 1863 in Minniesota. Comfort was in the US Army and was killed by Indians along with another man. My son, Ryan Ludington, was on his way on his motorcycle last month when he passed thru that area of Minn and he mentioned it to me. He was travelling from Thunder Bay, Ontario to SLC Utah. He works for a company based out of SLC. I told him all about Comfort who was a son of Lafayette Luddington. Here are some notes on Comfort. On Nov 17, 1862, Comfort Ludington is inducted into the Union Arm y. He is a member of the 8th Minnesota Infantry Regiment, Company D. Comfort's town of residence is listed as Sumner Twsp., Fillmore County. The 8 th Minnesota is mostly made up of men from Fillmore & Olmsted Counties in Southern Minnesota. Also on the 17th of November a man by the na me of Zenas Blackman is inducted into the same unit. His place of residence is listed as Elmira Twsp., Olmsted County, Minnesota. These townships are approximately 10 miles apart. On May 2, 1863, the 8th Minnesota is located at the Pomme De Terre stockade in Grant County, Minnesota. They are involved in what is locally known as the Dakota War. This is a war between the United States and the Dakota Indians. On this particular day, Comfort Ludington & a local Grant County teamster ( Silus Foot ?) are preparing to bring cattle to Fort Abercrombi e. At the same time, Adam Hair & Zenas Blackman are out gathering goose eggs. All four were ambushed & killed by Dakota Indians. ******** Surname: LUDDINGTON Given Name and Rank: COMFORT B.

Hi All I have put together a list of all the referance books ect. I have been able to search so far for Australian & New Zeeland Ludds/Luds, and will update it if I find new ones. I must admit I thought that there might be more of us out there? Does anyone know how many lines there are? it would be good to find out and see if I can match them up to U.K lines ect, If any one knows of a posable new line, (i have Tonys) please let me know. Paul

I mentioned the following in my last message : It seems a Nathaniel Kellogg, living near Boston MA in the early 1600's, had a son Joseph , who in turn had a son called Edward, who had a son called Thomas. Thomas Kellogg was born 17 Dec 1696, birthplace in MA not mentioned. Thomas eventually moved down to mid eastern CT near Lebannon, where he married and had a son called Lemuel Kellogg, b Nov 4 1727. Lemuel Kellogg, born 1727, in turn got married, had some family and then died suddenly. His wife (no name mentioned) remarried a ?? Ludington (no first name) and they had a son called Lemuel Ludington born 1759 in or near Lebannon CT. More study of the Kellogg genealogy has shown that the Lemuel Kellogg, b 1727, must have died sometime around 1757/58 as his wife remarried and had Lemuel Ludington in 1759. But  Lemuel Kellogg shows in Bennington VT, where he had a son called Thomas Kellogg, born 26 Dec 1757. This son Thomas Kellogg, was married in Amsterdam NY. later. So it is possible that the unknown Ludington who married Lemuel's widow married her in or near Bennington VT and not in CT as we thought. Bennington VT is nor far from Balston Spa NY where we later find our Lemuel in 1790. Ron Ludington

Rachel sent me a note to look in the Kellogg gen study and reference a Lemuel Ludington. I spent several hours looking at that study and found it's history to be similar to the Ludington study, starting with our William of 1607 in the Boston MA area. It seems a Nathaniel Kellogg, living near Boston MA in the early 1600's, had a son Joseph , who in turn had a son called Edward, who had a son called Thomas. Thomas Kellogg was born 17 Dec 1696, birthplace in MA not mentioned. Thomas eventually moved down to mid eastern CT near Lebannon, where he married and had a son called Lemuel Kellogg, b Nov 4 1727. Lemuel Kellogg, born 1727, in turn got married, had some family and then died suddenly. His wife (no name mentioned) remarried a ?? Ludington (no first name) and they had a son called Lemuel Ludington born 1759 in or near Lebannon CT. The Babbitt family history parallels the Luddington family history in that they started off in New England in MA and after several years they moved down to CT.  The Luddingtons had settled in CT mostly in the New Haven area while the Kelloggs settled just a few miles North and East of New Haven so eventually they had to run into each other; hence the Ludington-Kellogg marriage and the birth of Lemuel Ludington in 1759. I think this Lemuel Ludington has to be my Lemuel Ludington in the 1790 census of Balston Spa NY and I am looking for HELP in connecting the two. Anyone have any clues ??  Look in your histories to seek a Lemuel.  Please !    Ron Ludington

Hi Paul A further analysis of George Luddington's records: His trial was 5 March 1825 and resulted in him being transported for life to Tasmania. The two other records are the "Convict Muster" of 1826 and 1830. The 1826 muster George Luddington aka John Sergeant, Medway 2nd , Van Diemen's land, Assigned to G. W. Evans esq. The 1830 muster has Medway, Public Works His convict number was 352 - another record I found " George Luddington convict #352 age 34 absconded from Bothwell Bray farm 30 January 1830". This is from the Hobart gazette. Puts his birth c 1796. The note Medway 2nd refers to this being the second trip of the Medway to Tasmania Regards Gerry

Hi Paul Some information: George Luddington alias John Sergeant tried in Lincoln Assizes 5 March 1825. Sentenced to life and transported to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) on the Medway arriving 14 Dec 1825. I will check for any newspaper items on his drowning. Regards Gerry
