Hey, I found another picture postcard on ebay " Oscar Clarence Olson age 20 Mrs Carl Olson Ludington". A young man holding a rifle, just wondered if he might be relative to Dottie? We are looking forward to seeing everyone in Ludington this summer too!! ________________________________ From: Ron Ludington <[email protected]> To: Ludd group <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, January 3, 2011 6:41:52 PM Subject: [LUDDINGTON] (no subject) We are working towards another reunion this summer in Ludington MI. We will probably stay at the same B and B we had last time as they had a nice breakfast area which we were able use for meetings at no charge. And the breakfasts were great too. We have selected the time period of the last  two weeks of August, probably the 23 to 26 time period. BUT more on actual dates later depending on Paul (from England) and his actual time table. So if you plan to come start making plans now. Ron Ludington This list is adoptable.

Fred had identical Y-DNA to many Lud boys, me included,  proving his line went back to Wm of 1607, the first in America. Fred and his family attended the second Ludington reunion which was held in Woodstock, Ont in 1999. More details as I get them  Ron Ludington

Make sure you have a life vest on and a good boat handy. We would not want anything to happen to you. I think I prefer our weather to the flooding.

Hi Paul and List It was very common that after the death of a child the next child born of the same gender would be given the same christian name. I have a couple of them in my line of Ludds. It is very wet here in Queensland and we are having flooding everywhere. The area affected by the flooding is the combined area of France and Germany and it is still raining. Now that I know a Pink is a type of boat I may have to buy one Regards Gerry in wet and flooding Brisbane ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Luddington" <[email protected]> To: "Lud List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 2:30 AM Subject: [LUDDINGTON] Ben Ludd > Hi All > Think I have it right now on the Benjamin from Lincoln, found a > bit more info on the IGI. > Benjamin Snr had to children he called Benjamin, the first baptised on 18 > June 1730, died4 March 1738. > The second Benjamin was born, (this is what I did not have) 28 Feb 1740, > baptised 3 April 1740.

He was also mayor of Milwaukee. A prominent American Victorian politician. In 1850's he was a successful businessman. You can read more about him on Wikipedia: _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Ludington_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Ludington) He was a descendant of a prominent American revolutionary family, including an aide to George Washington. Harrison himself was well known for his business and political activities. The frame is original, it's in a relatively good condition, with imperfections that you can clearly see on the provided image. On the back there is a handwritten inscription that confirms the identity of the governor. It's quite large, the size, including the frame, is 11.5 by 9.5 inches. I estimate this picture to be from 1860's, but I could be wrong. It's definitely around that period, he was born in 1812 and died in 1891. This portrait was purchased from an estate sale.

Ron Yes, John died 1721, Benjamin mentioned in his will, baptisam not known. Benjamin married Ann in 1711, they had 5 other children, lastly Benjamin in 1730.n Then we have a burial in 1735 fo a Benjamin, who I would have thought was the son Benjmin? Benjamin the elder made his will in december 1740, so he most likly died not long after? all of his children were not over twenty one at time of making will. Then we have a baptisam of a Benjamin in 3 April 1740. Lastly ther is the burial in 1798, aged 68, giving a birth of 1730. So if we take the baptisam in 1730, and the burial in 1798 as one person, we are left with a burial in 1735, and a baptisam in 1740????? I am trying to check weather the baptisam might have been a adult one for Benjamin the elder before he died? I think Benjamin the younger did die in 1735, and they had another child in 1740, which they named Benjamin, and the death age is out in 1798???

I have a Benjamin Luddington (1), son of a John Luddington, (Ben mentioned in Johns will of 1721, so do not have baptism). Benjamin (1), he married a Ann Taylor in 1711, had a son Benjamin (2) in 1730, I have a burial for a Benjamin in 1735, so thought it was the Benjamin (2), I have another baptism for a Benjamin in 1740, the same year as Benjamin (1) will. he mentions his son Benjamin in the will, so I though he was the baptism in 1740.
