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?

Ron Ahart since no one else seems to be answering your question.... my files show Erastus (NMI) Rudd b 1797, son of Lebbeus Rudd married Wealthy Buell. Erastus (NMI) Rudd, son of John Rudd, married Experience Wheeler, m 1819, in Penn. Their son, Erastus Harper Rudd married Eliza Hancock on May 28, 1838, Caroline Bradford on May 1, 1848. and Elizabeth Walker on Mar 27, 1858. I have no records of it but I think Erastus Harper Rudd was a mormon, he lived in Utah most of his life. hope this clears up the muddy situation for you. Milton Rudd

Would you please tell me which Erastus Rudd was married to Wealthy? I have Two Erastus Harper Rudd's. First one Married to Experience Speedy Wheeler. 2nd one married to the following: 1.) Eliza Hancock 2.) Caroline Bradford 3.) Elizabeth Walker Do you have the dates of marriage? Ron Ahart

The following has a nice photograph and history of the Mother Rudd Tavern in Gurnee, IL: www.gurnee.il.us/history/history_mother_rudd.html Wealthy Buell Harvey (widow) m. Erastus Rudd. Judy Offen

Hi, Kevin, I think you did tell us, but I don't believe I'd kept track of it! Anyway, I have forwarded your message to the DAR lady to help her in getting someone into the DAR, probably through Increase(4)'s service. Thanks, Joann Nichols jnichols@sover.net "Kevin K.

This is a virus hoax. The first tip off is that Microsoft NEVER makes virus announcements. Go to www.w3.gwis.com and do a search on sector zero or any of the other key words in the message.
