Hi Charolette, My name is Linda Rudd. I saw your post ont the Rudd mail list and I thought I'd give you what I have on your son's ancestors. It's somwhat different from your information. But several of us have been working on this family line and feel pretty sure this is the most correct information and, yes, some assumptions are made. You'll see I don't have anything past your Bula Mae Rudd, so you really could help us fill in some blanks. Also, I'm going to send copies of this to the others that are online with the Burlingham family and you might hear from them also. There is a Rudd Web Site at http://mh101.infi.net/~grudd/ ........Walter "Gene" Rudd is the moderator and he is at [email protected] Your sons might be interested to know that their William "Uncle Bill" Elias Rudd was both a Texas Ranger and a Civil War Veteran..so they have quite a Texas heritage in them. Well, got to run off to work, I'll talk to you again soon.
