I have been checking to see if I could find who your Willis Rudd was, and I have found him! >From a document, which we on the Rudd Family List believe was prepared by Lucy Keller (she has quite a few typing errors), there is a Myllys Rudd (I'm sure she means Wyllys/Willis) who was born Oct. 19, 1796, married (1) Feb. 19, 1823, Elizabeth Peggs, born in Hoosick, New York, Oct. 23, 1799, a daughter of Nathaniel and ----- (Stone) Peggs of Western, NY, in which town they settled, and where Mrs. Rudd d. Aug. 5, 1853. The widower married (2) Jan. 29, 1857, Mrs. Alnvina[sic] (Arthur) Scoville, b. June 8, 1805, a daughter of Bradford and Rhuanna (Ely) Arthur of Martinsburgh, NY, and widow of Alfred Scoville of Lee, NY. I would guess that Willis and Alvina did not have any Rudd children together. Willis' ancestry is Nathaniel(5) and Naomi St. John, Jonathan(4) and Esther Tyler, Nathaniel(3) and Rebecca Waldo, Jonathan(2) and Marcy Bushnell, Jonathan(1) and unknown wife. If you would be interested in joining our Rudd group, let me know and I will tell you how! Thanks again for writing. Joann Nichols [email protected]
