He occupied what is known as the Rudy homestead, where he lived until his death. His five daughters married John Scott, Casper Croyl, and A. Morrison, of Barree, and John Warefield and Robert Wilson, of Jackson. His sons Martin, Reuben, Samuel, and John yet live in that locality. John Rudy began distilling whiskey in May 1878, the distillery being of small capacity and operated only about five months a year. The Rudy family also carries on a small saw-mill, and Reuben and Martin have manufactured brick the past four years" Source: History of Huntingdon and Blair County, by J Simpson Africa,, Vol I, Philadelphia, Loius H Everts, 1883, 1990 reprint Edition by the Huntingdon Co Historical Society, page 212 Muster Roll of the 6th Co., 5th Batt.

Dept. of Public Instruction, Pennsylvania. Secretary of the Commonwealth, Pennsylvania State Library, Published by s.n., 1906, pg 530 I am interested in your information on George and Barneys father Hans George and your sources. I have a list my mother compiled in the 1980s with the names and spouses of George Jr's children. She got some of the names from his will but unfortunately we do not have a copy of this will. I descend from George's daughter Elizabeth who married John Scott. I also have another mysterious Rudy farther down my family tree & would be very appreciative if anyone knows who her parents are. Her name was Caroline Rudy and she married Cyrus Scott in Barree Twp, they initially lived next to Cyrus's father George Scott in Barree & later lived in Jackson,& Porter Twp & Petersburg. The date of her birth is difficult to know RE: A DAR app for the Scott family lists her birth as 1848, her tombstone in Cedar Grove Cemetery appears to say 1849 & my mother's notes on her death certicate (which I don't have a copy of) states she was 78 yr and 29 da at the time of her death. She died 3 May 1919. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church in Petersburg. I assume the following woman is a relative of some sort to Caroline-9 Jan 1883 in Jackson Twp Rev Amos C Baldwin married Wm G DeArmitt of Jackson Twp & Mary M Rudy of Barree Twp at the residence of Cyrus Scott.
