Hi Cheryl, One possibility for the Jonathan mentioned here could be Ensign Jonathan Rudd - lineage: Jonathan Rudd/Mary ? Jonathan Rudd, Jr./Mercy Bushnell Captain Nathaniel Rudd/Rebekah Waldo Captain Jonathan Rudd/Esther Tyler Ensign Jonathan Rudd/(1)Mary Tracy, (2) Amy Tyler Quote from the Lucy Keller? "History of the Rudd Family": "To the Lexington alarm, at the outbreak of the Revolution, Ensign Rudd responded promptly." His father, Captain Jonathan Rudd's service (as quoted from the same reference): "In October, 1745, he was appointed Ensign of the Second Company of Train band of Windham, and in October 1750, he received his commission as Lieutenant. In May 1757, he became the Captain of the Third Company of the Fifth Regiment of the Colony. Captain Rudd represented Windham in the General Assembly at the regular sessions of October 1754, May 1760, October 1762, and May 1754 and at the special sittings of January and March 1755 and march 1762." I believe Captain Jonathan would have been too old to have served in the Revolutionary War - he was born 27 Nov 1710 (death date unknown). Another possibility would be Jonathan Rudd b. 20 May 1756 who married Mary Huntington: Jonathan Rudd/Mary ? Nathaniel Rudd/Mary Post Jonathan Rudd/Joanna Gregory Samuel Rudd/Laurene Fitch Jonathan Rudd/Mary Huntington There is no mention of Rev. War service, however. Another possibility is Jonathan Rudd b. 13 Sep 1733; d. 17 Mar 1777 *at Norwich of Smallpox* who married Tabitha Ormsby: Jonathan Rudd/Mary ? Nathaniel Rudd/Mary Post Jonathan Rudd/Joanna Gregory Jonathan Rudd/Tabitha Ormsby Celia At 8:10 PM -0700 5/5/98, Martin Cretin wrote: >I was just checking out one of Ancestry's free databases on Graves of >Revolutionary Patriots.
