This was not the line of Rudd's I was researching but I have done a line of Alabama Rudd's and in doing so found that Geletta Shepard, 264 Shelby Drive, Lake City, Florida 32055 has old family Bibles, etc. with a wealth of information on early Rudd's in south Alabama, north Florida an Georgia. She does not have email. Write to her and give her as much info as possible and I am sure she will help you if she can. I looked through my papers to see if I had mention of Arthur or Rebecca (my Rudd line came from S.C., too) but no mention....sorry. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Shirl4455@aol.com> To: <RUDD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2001 1:36 PM Subject: [RUDD] Arthur Rudd > Is there anyone out there that knows anything of Arthur Rudd,from SC,born abt > 1803,his wife being Rebecah Rudd,from SC born 1808? > Someone sent me a mail saying,that this line of Rudds were some of the first > ever recorded in US.That,I do not know about.I do know that in 1844 Arthur > sold his farm of 125 acres to the Yates family,sometime afterwards went to > Coffee County Alabama,for they are in the 1850 cenus.Some time > thereafter,they returned to Ga,Decatur Ga,and are in the 1860 and 70 census.I > want so much to find where Arthur came from.His wife Rachael was a Spears,and > has her listed also as coming from SC. > There has been tales told that 3 brotheres left SC to go to Ga,and Al.

Hi Nancy, I do have an Edna Hill descended through my Rinehart line, but it's such a common name and this Edna is pretty far removed (3rd cousin twice removed) - thanks for thinking of me though!

Celia, Do you have an Edna in your Hill line ??? Have just recently found an "old" picture of EDNA A. HILL.  Take at Gallery of Art, 307 & 309 West State Street, Rockford, Illinois. There is no one in my family with this name.  Will be happy to send it to whoever claims an Edna. Contact:  Whobegatu @ Norshore.net

Milton, After sending my previous message, I reread yours and compared to what I've accumulated. One thing I find you have different is the death date for Abigail who was married to Ormond Butler. I have 2 Nov. 1833, Middletown. I have it as the VT vital records where I found it. I like your 1863 date better! Can you tell me where you found that? Thanks for your participation!

Here is some info that I recently sent to another researcher of this part of the Rudd family: This is what I have on Increase(4) Rudd and Bathsheba (Johnson). He was born 21 Sept. 1734, Norwich, New London Co., CT, died about 1802, Middletown, Rutland Co., VT (probate record), married 8 May 1755, Norwich, CT, Bathsheba Johnson, born 28 Apr. 1739, Lebanon, New London, CT, daughter Maverick and Deborah (Payne) Johnson. Their children were recorded in Middletown, Rutland Co., VT. 1) Silas, born 25 Feb. 1756, Norwich, CT, died 19 Feb. 1804, Middletown, VT, marriage int. 26 Jan. 1777, Westfield, Hampden Co., MA, Phebe Herrick, daughter Ebenezer and Esther (Braman) Herrick. Don't believe it when you see he was married to Phebe Davis. It is not true; her second husband was John Davis. Silas and Phebe are my line. 2) Deborah, born 7 May 1758, Norwich, CT, married 13 Aug. 1779, Middletown, VT, Levy Wood. 3) Eunice, born 28 Jan. 1761, Norwich, CT, rec. Middletown, VT as June, died 7 Mar. 1774, Norwich, CT, age 12-10. 4) Hannah, born 19 Feb. 1763, Norwich, CT, married 21 Dec. 1786, CT, Stephen Richardson. 5) Barak, born 5 June 1765, Norwich, CT, died ca 1834, married 26 Nov. 1789, Middletown, VT, Abigail Mehurin/McHuron. 6) Theda, born 3 July 1767, Norwich, CT, married Erastus Hill. 7) Johnson, born 9 July 1769, Norwich, CT, died ca 1817, Middletown, VT, married 17 Jan. 1798, Middletown, VT, Abigail Brown. 8) Sarah, born 16 July 1772, recorded Middletown, married Samuel Spicer. 9) Abigail, born 28 July 1774, rec. Middletown, died 2 Nov. 1833, Middletown, VT[?], married 27 Oct. 1796, Middletown, VT, Ormond Butler. 10) Lydia, born 25 Sept. 1776, rec. Middletown, died 10 Apr. 1848, age 75, buried Old Cem., Middletown, married 1 Apr. 1796, Middletown, VT, Pitman Barker. 11) Samuel, born 10 Feb. 1779, Probably Bennington, Bennington Co., VT, died 6 Mar. 1855, Woodville, Jefferson Co., NY (DAR Record), married 2 Jan. 1806, Mary Ames (DAR Record). 12) Olive, born 30 Jan. 1784, Middletown, VT (or 28th or 1782), married 1 Jan. 1804, Middletown, VT, John Brown. The line comes from Jonathan with unknown wife, some people say her name is Mary, but I have no solid proof of that; Nathaniel and second wife, Abigail Hartshorn; Joseph and Sarah Mosely, Increase and Bathsheba Johnson. There are several people on the Rudd Mail List that come from Increase's children, especially from the son Samuel, several from Johnson, a few from Silas, at least one from Lydia and Pitman Barker, at least one from Sarah and Samuel Spicer. I am always looking for descendants of the other children, and from my Silas' children.

Ron Ahart You seem to be missing quite a bit of information about the Increase Rudd family. Increase and Bathsheba had a total of twelve children. All of them you listed were born in Norwich, Conn. Sarah was born July 16, 1772, and there is some question about where she was born exactly. The remaining four were all born in Middletown, VT., except for Samuel. They were: Abigail b. July 28, 1774, d. December 26, 1863, Troy, MI. Lydia b. September 25, 1776, d. April 10, 1848, Middletown, VT. Samuel b. February 10, 1779, Bennington, VT., d. March 6, 1855, Woodville, NY. Olive b. January 30, 1784, Middletown, VT. Silas, Deborah,, Barack, and Johnson all died in Middletown, VT. Eunice died in Norwich, CT. Maybe this will help you also. Milton Rudd

Hi, JoAnn, Some of the members of the Rudd Mail List are also descended from Johnson Rudd, so I am sending them your message. If you want to sub to the list, send a message to Rudd-L-request@rootsweb.com with just Subscribe in the message section. Tell me the children that you have for Increase and Bathsheba and I will tell you what more I might have.

Leora-- I am a distant Rudd relative of yours, and I don't have any of the info that you gave out on Erastus and his line. All I had on him was that he was born in 1816, and I showed him married to a Eliza Hancock(?), and that he died in 1863. Can you straighten me out on his info, and fill in the gaps, please?
