Thanks for the warning Dot. Got stuck with one sometime ago that came from a friend. Since he was on web tv it had no effect on him so he was unaware he was forwarding it.

My grandson just wrote me the following: "I received a message from 'Ha-Ha-Ha' that appeared to be a joke about snow white and the 7 dwarfs. My McAfee shield alerted me before I had a chance to open it that it was a virus and I deleted it and ran a virus scan. Watch out for it as it looked like a joke that had been forwarded." While I have the chance - HAPPY, HEALTHY AND PEACEFUL HOLIDAYS TO ALL. Dot Rudd DuMond, N.Y.

Hi, Janet, If you let me know how he's changed the descendants of Increase(4) and Bathsheba Johnson, I might be able to add more. Happy Holidays, everyone!

Greetings: How does one contact Tom Clark to provide him with information for his book? I have descents in separate lines from both Jonathon Rudd and James Rudd, immigrants from England. Lou Lesesne

My best wishes for a Happy Holiday season, and New Year filled with the Lord's blessings, and good luck in your ancestral searches! I believe that we who share a love and passion for genealogy and the search for our ancestors, all have thoughts of those who have gone before. A bit of them continues on, in each of us, so long as we have memory of them. I have received a draft of an updated/current "edition" of "RUDD BRANCHES" from Tom Clark, and am going through with what info I have that can be added. I've been accumulating info from this Rudd group, and would like to assist him in bringing this "quick reference" text up to date. I've been delving into my own ancestry (TOWNE, SOPER, DIBBLE, and QUICK - all came here in the 1600s) and haven't been writing much to the Rudd group, but next month will ask all who share our Rudd ancestry to add whatever you can to bring this information up to date. In closing, I again extend my wishes for a Happy Holiday and New Year. Janet Rudd in Illinois

Dear Mary Elizabeth: On going through old messages, I encountered one to you from Ron Presley concerning Thomas PALMER, who had a daughter named Betsy Obedience. Now, I have an ancestor named Frances Honor PALMER and wondered if there might be a connection. She married William Oliver GOLDSMITH in 1823 (Elmswell, Suffolk, ENG). They emigrated to Prince Edward Island in the 1820s. Any information you might have on this family would be appreciated. Marjorie Bousfield

Hello Everyone, At this time when we are all thinking "Christmas" I have received some information from the above which gives me information about my Martha RUDD which is different from which I had thought. Martha RUDD born March 1843, from the Roman Catholic Registers of Oulart. Her Father was George RUDD and Mother Mary FORTU The residence was indicated as Ballincash, a Townland bordering Ferns Parish and South East of Clone. There were also several siblings which they did not send. Has anyone any knowledge of this family. Eleanor.

Hi, cousins, I got this through Rootsweb's PML search. Guess it was on an Ohio list. Joann Nichols ALVIN V. RUDD, farmer, P.O. Windham, is a son of Nathaniel Rudd, who was born in Becket, Mass., May 17, 1795, and came to Windham Township, this county, in 1816, purchasing land on which he made some improvement. The following year he returned to his native State and married, January 15, 1817, Sophia Messenger, born May 22, 1797. In 1818 they returned in company with Xenophon Wadsworth and wife to this township, making the trip of about 500 miles with a team of horses and oxen in six weeks, entered upon pioneer life, and in a few weeks had erected the log-cabin which was to be their home for so many years, and where were born to them five children: William B., Alonzo M., Samuel V., Alvan V. and an infant, all of whom are now deceased but our subject. Nathaniel Rudd was an influential man in his day, always first in any enterprise tending to the improvement of the county and a liberal supporter of its public institutions. He was Captain of the State militia and also served a short time in the war of 1812. He was a Whig in politics. He filled several offices of trust in Windham Township; was an active member of the Congregational Church and a leader in Sabbath-school work for several years previous to his death, which occurred December 19, 1844. His widow still survives him. The subject of this sketch was born August 15, 1830, in Windham and still resides on the farm which has always been his home. His father dying when he was but fourteen years of age his educational advantages were limited, but by reading and observation he has acquired an average education. Having a taste for live-stock, he early became the possessor of some Shorthorn cattle and has gradually increased his herd till it is now one of the finest in the county, and he is considered one of the oldest cattle-breeders in same, having made his start in 1852. He has served in several of the minor township offices. During the war of the Rebellion he enlisted in Company I, One Hundred and Seventy-first Ohio National Guards, and served 100 days. Since he was fourteen years of age he has been identified with the Congregational Church. February 16, 1854, he was united in marriage with Miss Irene Franklin, born in Lewis County, N.Y., daughter of Alonzo and Diathia (Torrence) Franklin, natives of Massachusetts and New York respectively, and early settlers of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, the former of whom is now deceased. To Mr. and Mrs. Rudd have been born four children: Willis A., Orton N., Emma S. and Ann D.
