I know of one child, Mary RUDD, born in New London, CT c.1648, married Thomas BINGHAM, 12 Dec 1666 in Norwich, CT and died in Norwich 4 Aug 1726. Is anyone working this line or connected to it? >> Hi Janice, This is one of my husband's maternal lines. I think you will receive several responses from this list from people much more knowledgeable than I am, but I wonder how you descend from Thomas BINGHAM. My husband descension from the RUDD line is from Mary RUDD/Thomas BINGHAM, Mary BINGHAM/John BACKUS, Mary BACKUS/Joshua RIPLEY Jr, Mary RIPLEY/Joshua ABBE. I am always happy to share what I have, but have only been researching for about 4 years. Susan - Arkansas
