Hi Bill and Barb............I have added your address Bill, so that you can rejoin the Luddington list...........I trust our admin person Karen bush will see it and do the honors....if not see the address above and join yourself. Now to answer Bill's inquiry...............Eliphalet Luddington , 1753-1838, b East Haven CT, d Bethlehem CT, did have a daughter called Sarah but we have little info on her, not even a b d. He and Sarah Potter were m in 1777 so the daughter Sarah was b after that date. I have this info in her note section: Howd, Joseph (1769-1846) son of Pennock & Katherine (Kimberly) Howd Wife was Sarah Luddington. Lived Stony Creek, In 1800 CT census but it may be another Sarah.. Papers of probate were opened after Eliphalet's death in 1838 His headstone says he was 85 years old at death. He may have also been married to a lady named Lois Munger, as she is buried nearby and another stone lists a daughter, Harriet, as being theirs and dieing at age 18 in 1821. Bethlehem town records indicate their marriage on 2/15/1787 and states there was issue. Eliphalet applied for a pension for his military service and in the applicaion he stated the following: 1st In the month of April or May 1775 I the said ELIPHALET LUDDINGTON being a resident of sd Town of East Haven, enlisted into a Company of State Troops in the War of the Revolution, Commanded by Captain Douglass (I think Wm. Douglass) to serve as a private for the term of seven months & marched immediately to Horseneck in Connecticut & joined the Troops under the command of General Wooster, sd company was stationed a short time at Horseneck & was then ordered to Harlem in the state of New York & were encamped in that place a few weeks & were then ordered to join the American Troops at Ticonderoga & marched immediately under the Command of Col. or General Waterbury & joined General Montgomerys Troops at Ticonderoga, from thence went to Crown Point thence on to Lake Champlain with a view to attack St. Johns, immediately after landing near St. Johns & in the neighborhood of that place the Troops of which I was one had a Battle with the Indians, we were at this time commanded by General Montgomery soon after this we erected a battery near St. Johns & made an attack upon that place threw Bombs into the Town from the Battery We then went to Fort George & remained there until General Wooster arrived with a new ___ of Troops & the term of service for which I enlisted (viz) seven months herein expired. I was with other belonging to the company Discharged by (if I recollect correctly) a General Order I think then was not any written Discharge given. He also described how he served under Washington in the NYC area We may have the right man here but I cannot supply any more on Sarah. Bill do you have and vitals on her at all??

All I have to go on is that in his History of Livingston County (NY) Smith says that Jesse (listed elsewhere as the son of Richard Blake and Demaris Smedley) was married to Sallie Luddington whose father served as a guard to General Washington during the Revolution. I found the graves of all 4 at the Union Cemetery in Livonia NY last fall. Sallie's headstone actually names her as Sarah. The only thing other than that that I have found is on the 1790 census of Litchfield Connecticut where a Richard Blake is listed a few names above an Eliphalet Luddington. That's about as close as I have come. Eliphalet seems to be a common name among the Luddington clan although Jesse Blake and Sallie Luddington did have a son named Eliphalet. That's all I know for now. If you have any thing to add please send it along. Also do you have an address for the Luddington-L list. I can't seem to relocate it.
