Vinnie Daquino was a guest at the New Haven CT Ludington reunion in 2001. We all purchased a copy of his book and he still follows the Ludington trail. All member shud ask him for a copy as he did his research correctly. Ron http://www.catskill.net/purple/sybil.htm http://ludingtonsride.com/history.htm But what was her life as a young woman; what became of her after her ride? Dacquino found that no two sources agreed on such basci things as her husband's name and the number of her children. His search became an obsession, the results of which have been published in Sybil Ludington: The Call to Arms. Dacquino traces the story of the Ludingtons from the French and Indian War, in which the Colonel served, to the Revolutionary War, where a price was placed on his head by the British, (Sybil and her sisters cleverly outwitted a gang of royalists who attempted to abduct or assassinate their father.) Henry Ludington owned a mill and property. Greatly respected, he entertained many influential men, including Washington. _________________________________________________________________ FREE online classifieds from Windows Live Expo – buy and sell with people you know http://clk.atdmt.com/MSN/go/msnnkwex0010000001msn/direct/01/?href=http://expo.live.com?s_cid=Hotmail_tagline_12/06 ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to LUDDINGTON-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need Mail bonding?

Barb Great to find, just very frustrating at the moment, not having the time and money to get into it as I would like, one day. There are a mention of a couple of Ludd traders at the London Docks from the early 1600s that I might try to find out more about, the PLA museum is in the docklands not far from were my Dad lives, will have a go at that.

In a message dated 2/6/2007 11:00:57 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, ronlud@yahoo.com writes: it is most frustrating to know of the DNA connection but not to be able to connect thru paper records. Ron, I disagree with you slightly. It is VERY frustrating not to be able to make the paper connection but the DNA connection is proof that you are on the right course and validation even if you cannot make the paper connection, ever. Your Mr. Wilson might be an example of a person being on an incorrect course. He could have thought he was a Wilson but found that he was a Luddington through his DNA. It is unfortunate that the MTDNA (maternal DNA) cannot be so easily identified. Elaine

FYI.................with the addition of David Luddington of England to our Y-DNA testing I can now present the following info.... David has an exact 12 marker match with: Alfred Ludington a descend of Levi from NY, b abt 1765? Alfred lives in Ontario James C Ludington, descends from Nathaniel then right to Wm of 1607, lives in Ontario Charles W Luddington, descends from Asa of NY, b abt 1779, lives in NC Charles Frederick Ludington, descends from Nathaniel then right to Wm of 1607, lives IN Ronald E Ludington, descends from Seth, b NY 1788, lives in Ontario The following have a one marker differnce, possibly caused by a mutation James Joseph Ludington, descends from Comfort then back to Wm of 1607, lives IN Kenneth Randall Ludington, descends form Asa, a bro to Comfort (above) lives VA Francis H Ludington, descends from Corbett, b abt 1797, lives NY Paul Luddington, descends from English Luddington, lives England Even tho we have not connected in our paper chase it appears that we all go back to an English Ludington/Luddington who was our common ancestor. Who was he? When did he live? We may never know. For those of us still looking for the actual paper connection it is most frustrating to know of the DNA connection but not to be able to connect thru paper records.
