http://genforum.genealgoy.com/wood/ I'm looking for the Wood family of Herkimer, New York. They moved to Geauga Co., Ohio in about 1803 then to Berrien, Michigan and finally Dow City Iowa where they meet up with the Rudds.

> Thought I'd chime in as I am descended from a UK branch of the RUDD line. It goes back to Burlingham RUDD who is said to have been born in about 1705 in Porlingland, Norfolk, England and died before 1790 in Anson County, North Carolina.> snip I think I have seen references to early Norfolk RUDD. Someone has been listing Hearth Tax returns on the Norfolk List. (English taxation based on how many fireplaces you had in 1600s) I'll try & find out if she has any Rudd entries. Jane

If I may add another point about my J.(JAMES) W.G. RUDD, my Grandfather RUDD always said that he was "Dutch-Irish", and I always believed that RUDD was the Irishman, but lately I have begun to wonder. Since I have found nothing on my JAMES earlier than 1840, it makes me suspect a name change, but from what? Maybe the RUDD was DUTCH? Anyone ever heard a Dutch version of the name RUDD? Thanks very much for the response. It gives me hope again, after all the screaming silence.

I receive your mail alot and constantly read for any connection to my line. Ronald, so far yours seems the closest I have found. My family line moved in the same pattern as yours. I don't see JWG Rudd in my files but the earliest Rudd I find is Arthur Rudd born abt 1803 in S. Carolina. His wife was Rachel Spears born about 1803 in S. Carolina. They had 8 children: Ramen Robert Rudd, Jesse L. Rudd, Julia Ann Rudd, Joseph George Rudd, Rebecca A. Rudd, Mary Alice Rudd, George A. Rudd and William A. Rudd. I hope this helps someone and if anyone can help take me a little further I would appreciate it.

I'm trying to remember just where the date and place for Bryant Rudd's information came from. I remember we deduced the birthdate from the 1830, 1840 censuses. As to the place they came from, Ausburn Rudd, Bryant's brother, in something (a newspaper article) that was written up on his biography mentioned Ausburn's father as John Rudd ( which fit right into the 1830 census) and gave the place of Ausburn's birth, I believe. We have been looking at the Rudd's in Virginia because we believe John Rudd came from there but also North Carolina. We haven't been able to crack this John Rudd. There appears to be 2 major Rudd lines in America: Captain Jonathan Rudd (I think) and Captain John Rudd who was a oceangoing Captain. I believe our John Rudd came from the Captain "John" and not the Jonathan. But, can't prove it. I've been gleaning a lot about these 2 lines from the Rudd list and it seems more likely our John Rudd came from the Captain John, also Tim remembers a family legend that they (the Rudd's) came on a ship, but didn't they all. I can't remember just what Tim told me about that family memory. Tim's e-mail address is: TimR@inland.net. Jo Storie

Hi Michael, Just a thought...have you found this James RUDD in census records? He is probably with his parents and you should find some good information. Be sure to note any other RUDDs living in the same area; they may well be relatives. The Dakota Territory 1885 census shows several RUDDs from Norway were in the area so you may well be on the right trail! http://www.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/database/1885census.html The census look up site might be useful if you do not live near a LDS family history or other library where you can view census films: http://www.rootsweb.com/~uslookup/ Good luck and hope this helps, Jennifer

So where do Rudds come from, Ireland or England. Does anyone know, and then which parts of these countries? Also has anyone heard of the Buddle line? Thanks

Jo, Any information on Bryant would be helpful as I'd like to fallow my line of Rudds as far back as possible. Somewhere I had seen that he was born in the 1780s or 1790s, possibly in Virginia, do you know this to be true, well I appreciate your help, Jim Rudd

I have a James Rudd mystery as well. My grand father, James Rudd born in Minot North Dakota, Feb.22 1900. Who were his parents? Family tradition says they are Norweigian Rudd's. Family tradition says his parents were perhaps James Rudd (born between 1840 and 1860), or James Christopher Rudd, or Chris Rudd... The wife was apparently known as "Jan" or Jenny". Other spellings include "Ruud". There are a whole mess of Rudd's in North Dakota, Canada, Minesota that don't seem closely related to the line of Rudd's most often mentioned here. Supposedly descended from Eric the Red (Rudd, Ruud, ruddy). Any one else out there working on this line?

I have posted this several times in the past, but it has been a very long time, so here goes again. My wife's grandfather came to Michigan from Ireland sometime around 1880. He was born in Tipperary, Ireland in the 1850s, moved with his family to Dublin, and then came to the US from there. He married Elizabeth Dunleavy in the US, but we are not sure where. Didn't find a marriage document in Michigan, so it may have been the port that Elizabeth came through (either Boston or New York). He developed a hernia while farming his land grant property, and returned to Ireland with his wife and five young children for surgery. Unfortunately, he died on the operating table, leaving his widow to get herself and children back to Michigan on her own. His father was John Gordon Rudd, birth and death dates unknown. Mother was Jane Latamore, birth and death dates also unknown. He was the fourth of five children. Siblings were: Harriet, Emily, Elizabeth, and Gordon. We know that Gordon (who did not leave Ireland) married Emily Cook and had four children: Katherine, Ella, Emily, and Jerry, no dates known. We have a fairly complete list of Joshua's descendants if anyone sees a connection. Bob Berry (husband of Colleen Rudd)

Someone recently said that all us unknown RUDD family members should speak up again, since there are new members to the list. In that light, I come out of the woodwork. My earliest known RUDD is really rather recent, as compared to the rest of you. He is: J.(James)W.G.RUDD, born in North Carolina, about 1813. His first known wife, according to 1850 Ga. census is SINDY M., born 1820, in North Carolina. A possible 2nd wife according to 1860 GA. census, MALINDA, born 1816, NC. These could of course, be the same person. On the 1900 Alabama census, the oldest son of this family stated that his mother was born in Virginia, with no other information. The following are the known children of JWG RUDD. son...Henry Clay Rudd, b. 1839-40, GA. girl...Cloy A. Rudd, b. 1841, GA. son...(?)Terisey P. Rudd, b. 1843, GA. James E. Rudd, b. 1844, GA. son...Francis, b. 1845, GA. son...L.H.Rudd, b 1849, GA. Son...(?)Cebron Rudd, b. 1852, Ga. Girl...Missa Rudd, b. 1855, GA. Girl...Molly Rudd, b. 1858, GA. This family was in Cherokee County GA. apparently when the first son was born, until 1860, when they moved to Alabama. The last known record of JWG RUDD was in 1876 when he took part in a wedding there. Then gone to ? Apparently there was some beginnings in Virginia, because in 1880 some RUDDS came to Jefferson Co., AL., and worked in coal mines which may have been owned by one or more of JWG's sons. And there was the reference of HENRY CLAY RUDD about HIS mother being born in VA. My RUDD must be one of the many independant RUDD families who came to America independent of any others. No one to date has found him in their lines. There is a line of RUDDS with some of the fathers named BURLINGHAM RUDD, and others, and there is a JAMES RUDD in one (some)of their lines on which there is no other record other than his birth year, and place, whichseems to fit my JAMES, but they say he is not. One researcher says there was not a JAMES in that line anyway. I have hunted for anything at all on this man for about 20 years, with no luck. I hope one of you new people will claim my lonesome line. With apologies for a long letter, I am... Ronald Presley ronpres@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Bryant had a son Hiram b. 1827 and died 1900 Ragland, McCracken, Kentucky. and yes married Rebecca Allcock. Just what information do you need on this line? Bryant's father was very much thought to be John Rudd and we haven't figured out who he is. this is my son-in-law's line, Dr. M.Timothy Rudd of Murrietta, Ca. and lives in Menifee, Ca. Jo Storie

No...the Mary Metcalf, daughter of William Metcalf and Sarah that is widely published as the wife of Jonathan is listed as married to Henry Wilson. There are many other Marys but none that line up. We also noticed many Marys married to Metcalf men...possible widows with the name Mary Metcalf....we just have to keep looking until we can't eliminate someone.... ---------- From: NCRYERSON@aol.com[SMTP:NCRYERSON@aol.com] Reply To: RUDD-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, June 12, 2000 2:56 PM To: RUDD-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: RE Genealogical notes And with a major work on Metcalf, you could not find a bride for Jonathan???
