Hello Cousins, I was out of town for the weekend (setting up deer camp), and just read through all your mail. Good to have so many new people. I was new just this summer and have filled in my Rudd line thanks to the generosity of this Rudd group(namely, Celia, Kevin, Joanne and Janet and any others I may not recall at this moment) Celia, Thanks SO much for the Rudd info you sent out 6 weeks or so ago (sorry, so very sorry I didn't thank you then) I just started to read through it, starting with the Brown info, but I already have questions. I must admit, that I really only scanned through the 1 inch thick pile of info.....but I can't find parent for Abigail (md to Jonhson Rudd) did I miss something, or do I just need to "read" better. Included is a Brown or Browne (index) Abigail (Johnson Rudd) is 244 - 6 What is this "index" to?? Well, I am sure this is only the beginning of my many questions about this information, and every thing else. If you get tired of me.......just turn me off!!!!!! My line: Jonathan Rudd/ ? Nathaniel Rudd/Abigail Hartshorn Joseph/Sarah Moseley Increase/Bathsheba Johnson Johnson Rudd/Abigail Brown Erastus Rudd/Harriet Hill David Rudd/Sarah Elias Rudd/Bertha Chandler Melvin Rudd/Ora Cromer Carol Rudd/Gordon Norstrom Nancy Carol Norstrom/Jon Martin Ryerson Glenn and Vera I am also related to the Fillmore line............through my Grandmother Ora Cromer as follows: Ora's parents are: Frances Elmer Cromer (1875-1950) ILL Mary Emma Ward (1878-1957) ILL Mary's parents: William Ward (1855-1906) ILL Emma Viola Pelton (1861-1933) ILL Emma's parents: George Stiles Pelton (1832- ) Charlotte Fillmore (1838- ) Charlotte is the daughter of Luther Fillmore (1804-1889) ILL Susan Hodgkins (1807-1887) Ill I just 2 weeks ago found a FILLMORE web site on FTM and they supplied me with lots of info.
