He married Sarah French of Jefferson County, Tenn. They had 4 children Caroline, Elizabeth, William, and Thomas Benton. Thomas Benton Hudson was my greatgrandfather. About 1845 they moved to Honey Creek, Adams County, Illinois where Eli farmed. Sarah died prior to 1858. Eli then married Margaret Elizabeth Newland, in Adams County, Illinois. Dec. 30, 1858. The Hudson family then moved to Hughes, Nodaway, Missouri prior to the 1870 Census. Eli died prior to the 1889 Census. Thomas then became head of household. There were several children from the Margaret Newland marriage also. I don't have information regarding my greatuncle William. I will ask my aunt if she knows what happen to him.
