I am researching my grandmother's family. Her name was Florence Sussanah Rudd. She came to the states from England about 1907. Her parents were William Rowland Rudd and Mary Ann Buddle. William's father was Benjamin Rudd. They were married 1885 in Parish of Buckland in Kent. Their residence was 3 Union Rd. I have a little bit more on where they lived and their children. William died at home (the mermaid pub)in Dover. Mary's parents were Buddles and Beers. I don't have a mother for William. I appreciate the look up.

If you think your family is descended from one of these Irish Rudd brothers, I can look up info for you when I get home from this business trip. I won't be home until 11/3. My branch was in England; Yorkshire if I remember correctly, until about 1630, when my ancestor went to Ireland. There were also Rudds in Ireland as early as the 10th century. A Robert Rudd was Lord of Meath and married the Earl of Clare's daughter in.....the 1300s? It's hard to try to remember this stuff. But, I don't travel with the book. No connection has been made between him and our families; just interesting speculation. And, then they went to Wales. Rudds turn up in northern England in the 16th century and I've got my line back to this family that went from Yorkshire (I think) to Clone, Wexford, in 1630. If this is the book you want, the "intro" part is genealogically specifically about the descendents of two different Rudd couples. But there is interesting information about the Rudds distant cousins of mine who researched in Ireland were able to uncover, like one in the 10th century, but it doesn't tie them to our 10 branches of Irish Rudds descended from 2 men. And, we've never been able to ascertain a relationship between these 2 men. 9 of the branches descend from 1 and mine is from another. My branch is the "other" Rudd; ties in the extensive research of a distant cousin of mine in to this book about Irish Rudds which originally was meant to be a book solely about those other 9 lines who are all related. In recent years, descendents of the English Capt. Jon have been included with the "other" Rudds by the RFRA, and there is some overlap between these lines; some who seem to be descended from both the Irish Rudd and Capt. Jon. It's sort of murky about whether the Rudds were originally Irish who went to England or the other way around, but the book hypothesizes we were red-haired Vikings because Rudd is very close to the Irish word for "red" (ruadh in modern Irish). The Vikings hit both Ireland and England, so ??????? I guess there could have been more than one going back to the 10th century who got that name. Or maybe we're all descended from the same one 1000 years ago. I hope to go myself next year to explore these possibilities, but lack of records will probably never get us past speculation at this point. Too many of "my" Irish Rudd relatives have gone to Ireland (and then to England) and traced down everything there probably is to get. Anyway, the intro to the book is interesting re: the origins of ancient Rudds and what records there are about "early" Rudds regardless of whether you know you're descended from an Irish or an English Rudd........which may end up being one and the same anyway! I think this is not the most coherent message I've ever written. I've had very little sleep. My own father, a Robert Rudd, died last night at the age of 84 and I have to write to the keeper of the records of the RFRA about his death to keep my line up to date in the archives. Sorry if this is babbling; I'm not going to re-do it. I was trying to convey the intro is interesting to any Rudd because it's kind of generic, but the genealogical lines are very specific re: the descendents of 2 men and not useful unless you are descended from one of them.

I got this site from another list and have posted a couple of mystery pictures already. They have quite a few old photos there, named and unamed. www.ancientfaces.com

Have been searching for and finally found an answer as to what happened to : Lousia Rudd b. 1819/20 in New York married to Henry G. Oaks in St Joseph Cty (Laporte IN) 11-13-1845. Am still trying to determine her parents. Joseph Rudd and Venerna Smith had a daughter named Lousia born in 1820, but this Louisa married someone else and by elmination they are not the parents. My Louisa Rudd Oaks died of consumption April 2, 1855 in Laporte. I have discovered some additional Rudds in Laporte and I am hoping these clues will lead me to Louisa's parents: Richard Rudd b. 1-5-1825 d. 6-10-1858 he was a Mexican War soldier and was buried with honors. George W Rudd b. 5-17-1838 d. 12-17-1860. Please help if anything sound familiar about Richard or George. Thanks Terry Grand Rapids MI

Actually, I ordered it from a rare book seller in Ireland. He doesn't have any other copies that I know of. I ran across the listing of the book while doing some biblio searches on-line and thought I'd better grab it since this book seems to be fairly scarce. It's really in great shape - some of the pages have never been cut, so I don't think the former owners ever read it. It also has quite a few photos and fold-out pages containing pedigree charts. >Oh!

Interested in contacting anyone researching Rudd family in N.J., esp. Monmouth/Ocean Co. Primary interest -their migration to N.J. via N.Y. Thanks Bev

My branch of Rudds left Co. Wexford, Ireland, around 1816 (1822?) to go to Gananoque/Landsdowne, Ontario. This is just over the St. Lawrence River from Alexandria Bay, NY. While my Rudd greatgrandparents left Canada to go to Michigan, there were other sibs. Some stayed in Canada; I have communication with an older distant cousin in London, Ontario. I can't remember now if any went over the bridge in to NY. Having once lived in Watertown, NY, just miles from Alexandria Bay, I remember the occasional Rudd obituary turning up in the North Country counties and "wondering". The London, Ont. cousin traced pretty much all of our ancestors well back in to Ireland (connections all the way back to 1630), but I'm out of town for 3 weeks, trapped in a hotel for nearly another 2 weeks. So, I don't have access to his records at the moment. I don't remember any New Yorkers, but it's also been a while since I looked at Rudds outside of my line. A long time. Will try to remember when I get home to check out Irish Canadian Rudds who might have come to the US in to NY.

Joann, No, I'm sorry I don't! I was hoping someone else would know. I read somewhere (perhaps an antiques or art auction notice) of a woman artist by the name of RUDD and it sounds like Emma Rice RUDD is most likely the one. I would certainly be interested to know or even better, see some of her art work. Lyons is in Wayne County which is west of Onondaga County. I seem to remember that there were RUDDs in that area. In fact, there is an antiques dealer by the name of RUDD in Syracuse. I have seen his advertisement in an antiques newspaper. If I come across anything about Bessie or Emma, I will post it to the list. Judy

Dear RUDD List, The following obituary was in the Rochester (NY) Democrat & Chronicle today. Judy Wells, Phyllis M. 10/21/2000. Phyllis Moody Wells, last surviving member of two of Lyons (NY) founding families, the Demmons and the Rices, died on Saturday, October 21,2000, in the Jennifer J. and Elizabeth G. Hildebrandt Center for Palliative Care at Genesee Hospital. Born in Lyons on November 3, 1916 to Bessie Rice RUDD and Andrew P. Moody, Phyllis grew up at 56 Butternut St., the home built in 1887 for her grandmother, the successful artist, Emma Rice RUDD. For a time, her family lived in Cuba, where her father was a sugar broker until the sugar market crashed and the Moodys returned to the Rudd homestead. On graduation from Lyons high school in 1935, Phyllis moved with friends to New York City, whre she met her future husband, Arthur Wells-Castillo. By the time of her death, Phyllis had been predeceased by her parents, sister Lewraine, ex-husband, and son, Jack. Phyllis spent most of her life as a resident of Rochester and enjoyed being involved with the community. She worked for a time at Stromberg Carlson, was a teaching assistant at Monroe High School, and was a generous supporter of the Genesee Hospital. Her favorite activities included local theatre, entertaining and travel. Phyllis was also an avid bridge player, and until recently had been a member of several Rochester groups. Phyllis is survived by many friends who enjoyed her great sense of humor and love of fun. A private ceremony will be held by friends. In liew of flowers, donations can be sent in memory of Phyllis to the Hildebrandt Center for Palliative Care at Genesee Hospital. Arrangements: J.H. Cameron Funeral Home, Scottsville.

I believe I might have posted this quite some time ago, but found it again yesterday and thought it wouldn't hurt to share it again. Back on May 23, 1997, cousin Susan Howe and I visited the Middletown, VT Community Church and looked at some of the old Congregational Church record books. One book we checked was "A Book of Records for the Congregational Church in Middletown Beginning in April 26th 1797 Being the Second Volume of Records for That Church." It was a large book so I started toward the end and found some baptisms. Jan. 15th 1809, Abigail, consort to Johnson Rudd; Hannah, consort to Stephen Richardson; David, Vincent, Leonard, Olive, Erastus, children of Abigail Rudd. Clarissa, Harvey, children of Hannah Richardson. So that gives us five children for Abigail (Brown) and Johnson Rudd. Hannah Richardson, wife of Stephen Richardson was born Hannah Rudd, and would be a sister of Johnson Rudd. On page 81, Jan. 10, 1809. The church met according adjournment at which time Miss Coleman, Mr. Erastus Coy and his consort, Miss Rudd and Miss Richardson related to the church their Christian experience. Voted to adjourn till Tuesday the 17th inst. Sunday 15th 1809. After reading the articles of faith and covenant, Miss Coleman, Miss Richardson and Miss Rudd, the foregoing candidates consented thereunto and were by vote of the chh. admitted to all the privileges of the chh. [Of course, it shouldn't be Miss for Richardson and Rudd, but that's how I copied it.] Page 82, March 7, 1809. Asked for membership, Mr. Joshua Paul, Johnson Rudd, Betsey Hicks & John Hicks, Jr. March 16, 1809, admitted. One of these days I hope to get back up to Middletown and look through all of these books at a leisurely pace! I understand that the very earliest book has now been found, so that would be good to check as well. Joann Nichols Vermont

Hi Janice, Since you're not subscribed to the Rudd Mail List, your message bounced to me as list administrator. I'm redirecting it to the list. If you need help subscribing, please let me know. Celia I am looking for information about Harvey Danile Rudd. Born in 1894 in Coffee County Alabama to William Penn Rudd son of Edward Burrell Rudd. He is believed to have moved to a northern state from his home in Geneva, Alabama in the 40' s or 50's (could be another northern state) and we are looking for any siblings or close relatives to complete a family tree. Please help. Thanks

To Celia: All I have on William Penn Rudd is b. 1860 Al, d. 1952 Coffee Co., AL. I have a listing of his brothers and sisters, as well, but the only one that I have future generations on is George Washington Rudd, b. 1848 Al, d. 1926 TX...there were 15 children of Edward Burrell Rudd and Francis Clay. Many of them migrated to Texas (Tyler Co.) so you may want to check Texas leads out. Have you checked Walter Rudd's homepages? He has extensive listings. I will be away from Fri. to Wed., but will see what I can find for you.

Hi Rudd Cousins; Many moons ago there was much discussion that there was a Rudd Family Bible, mentioned when I believe, membership was established by my Aunt Grace or Aunt Mildred in the DAR. There was some opinion that said it had burned in a house fire. If so, it could have been the house in North Boylston , where Rosel would have been settled. The house that George Washington was born in still stands today...not touched by fire, but also no family Bible. I personally have checked with everyone I know, my cousin Randy Rudd has checked as I am also just as sure that my cousin Chet Rudd has checked. This Bible, if in existence today, of course depending how far back it reaches: and theoretically down to my generation would be as follows: Jonathan Rudd Lt./Sr. Nathaniel Rudd Joseph Rudd Sr. Increase Mosely Rudd Samuel Rudd Roswell(Rosel) Ames Rudd George Washington Rudd Harley Rosel Rudd---brother to Grace Raymond Rudd Vera Mae Rudd

I thought there was a message on this mailing list which mentioned a Rudd Family Bible in connection with the records at the DAR library. However, I checked my hard copies of the messages and didn't find the reference I remembered. Celia >Attention: Celia > >Nancy was asking about birth record for Erastus a while back and you >suggested there was a Rudd Family Bible in existence with someone. >Have you ever come across your notes about it?
