I have an ancestor William Hudelson, an American Revolutionary War veteran who was born probably 1758, family lore saying he was born in North Ireland (some say Belfast). It's unclear when he emigrated to America, but he enlisted in Pennsylvania or New Jersey militia at the very start of the war. U.S. Army processing of the application of his widow for a veteran's widow pension said he may have been born in North Ireland or in Bucks County, PA. Nobody has identified his parents. A 23 Aug 2001 posting on the IRL-ULSTER web page says that there were a substantial number of Hiddleston/Hiddleson/Huddlestons present in the areas of Donaghadee and Comber, including Monlough Townland, Comber Parish in the 19th Century. The posting also says the Copy of Registries in the Barony of Ards lists a John Huddleston in Donaghadee. There apparently are Hiddlesons buried in the Monyreagh Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church graveyard, from the 18th and 19th Century. \It's a long shot, I know, but does anybody have informataion that can help identify William's parents?
