Francis H Ludington died at his home near NYC on Jan. 14, 2017. He was born in St Louis MO on 24 Feb 1923.I had the pleasure of his company twice over the last few years and he was a great fellow to chat with on any subject. We searched and searched for his family connection but could not find the proven connection. Much like my own line it lead back to upstate NY or in his case western MA. But Y-DNA test have shown that we both connect back to William of 1607, the first Ludington in America. My best wishes to the family...............He will be missed !!  Ron Ludington
