Barnes offered to copy from the book for another Rudd. Would Barnes please see if this Rudd is in the book: Born Frances Rudd, N.C. 1800. Was in Lincoln County, Tn. by 1817 where she was m. to James A. Kyser. The family with many children moved on a land grant in Mercer's Colony in then Kaufman County, Texas in 1845. Oldest son was Judge Harrison William Kyser of Kaufman County. He was a Captain in the Civil War. I do not know the names of Frances' parents. She may have had a brother named Benjamin Rudd who had business dealings with Philip Kyser, father of James A. Kyser. James and Frances are buried near Lake Ray Hubbard 20 Mi East of Dallas. Would appreciate your taking time to look up Frances in the book. Edith Kyser Smith, Irving, Texas. Rudd8@aol.com
