It started just last week when Paul asked if anyone knew of a William Nixon Luddington, but no one seemed to recognize him. Finally it was discovered that he was a Quaddington or so it seems. However that lead to other searches in which I thot I had discovered my missing Lemuel Luddington, father of my g/g/grandfather Seth Luddington (1788/1876). That in turn lead to Rachel, Barb, and others coming up with more Lemuel bits and pieces that seemed new to me. However after examining much of the Lemuel info I have not been lead any further in my searches as I had already discovered those Lemuels but in many other branches over time. Thank you for all the searching ! I did get some info on the woman that married my missing Lemuel, Patience Gurnsey and her family history. Much of that is new to me and I have now entered it. However I am still missing the ancestry of Lemuel Luddington, who shows in the 1790 census in Balston Spa NY. He is mentioned there in several reports in tax rolls, and in marriage to the Gurnseys, and as a son-in-law to Solomon Gurnsey in Solomon's funeral transcript. When did he marry ? where? where did he come from? Any siblings ? The Gurnesys came to NY from MA, was Lemuel from MA too. Any answers at all appreciated. Ron Ludington
