Yes Margaret that info fits the scenario exactly. I used to be in touch with Ivan's son, Steven Tracy Lud in Las Cruses where he was teaching but he seems to have dropped out of the gen game.  Ron Ludington ________________________________ From: Margaret Ludington <[email protected]> To: Ludington rootsweb <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, November 1, 2010 11:43:46 PM Subject: Re: [LUDDINGTON] Ludds in this obit I'm wondering if this is the father-in-law of my husband's cousin Wayne, son of Ivan, son of Ulry, son of Harrison, etc. Ivan's family moved to New Mexico back in the late 1960s or early 70s and I think all his boys still live in the SW. Wayne is or was employed by the US Forest Service. He may be retired.
