Paul et al........Sorry about the cold weather over there. Toasty here in FL but then that's why we r here. That article U sent on Asua Luddington from Kentucky, and his marriage to a Hughes girl was interesting. His name in my records is Asa Ludington , b in Dutchess Co NY in 1742. His Dad was  Elisha Ludington the father of Abigail who married her cousin Henry Ludington, father of Sybil the rider. Both Henry, Asa, and Asa's bro, Comfort, served in the 7 Years War, (also called the French and Indian War ). Asa was only 17 or so at the time. After their service Asa moved on to better things. He moved down to Virginia Territory and was arrested and jailed for buying land in the Wyoming area of Ohio. Some land baiters had sold Asa land they did not own. After that episode he moved to VA (later WV) and settled down where he is mentioned in the local history many times. He must have tired of his episodes there so he moved off to KT where he married and disappeared  That letter mentioned was dated in 1802 and he would have been about 60 years old then. His history in WV shows he had family there but was not involved in any Rev War skirmishes. And so another interesting Lud moves on in our family history.
