Hi, Ardith, I think you are the only descendant of Barak(5) Rudd that is on the list right now. There was a descendant on about a year ago, but he dropped off. Anyway, welcome, cousin! The wife I have listed for Barker F. Rudd, son of Barak and Abigail (Mahurin) Rudd, is Ann(a) Rudd, with a second marriage to a Lucinda Brakeman. The info came from Rudd Branches, a manuscript that Celia got from the Rogue Valley Library. What other information do you have on this marriage and the children. I have a note that Barker died in Cass Co., MI. A lot of Barak's children seem to have gone to Cass County. Joann Nichols, a descendant of Silas(5), brother of Barak.
