Good Morning, RUDDS, and Miss Kay Bunton: To begin with, I would like to especially thank Miss Bunton for her help on the JAMES RUDD, son of BURLINGHAM RUDD III. Kay, you did not have other information on this JAMES, and I cannot find information on my JAMES, earlier than him. I am very nearly saying that the two are one and the same, but the is no proof that they are, is there? There are some sources who say thaere was no JAMES, son of this Burlingham, but replace him with another son who was born before the marriage of BURLINGHAM and MARY VAUGHN. I just feel, that unless JAMES died without marrying, then there is someone who is his descendant, and knows it. Unless they don't subscribe to this list. It's a little disheartening to see the same names hashed back and forth on this list, and never any of this BURLINGHAM'S family. One last note: In my digging, I have discovered that through my PRESLEY line, I connect to another RUDD line: JOHN RUDD, the seaman. Thanks for listening to my ranting.
