I never have followed any other RUDDS after the Civil War except to try to find my own. All the other information I have is before 1860. married to > Martha Rudd, age 52, born in > Tenn.

This seems to me to be a good chance, but I would try to find other records to try to prove it. > That would have made her 15 > when W.M. was born..They could have sent her > back to Tenn. to have the child > and bring it home as a nephew...This would mean > that Noel's grandfather was > illegitment..

Let me know what ya'll > think..Hey this is getting juicy There is a lot of "hanky-panky" that happened inall our families, and we might find an illegitimate one some times. My own problem has made me think of a name change some time along the way, which would hang it up for me, as hard as things have been to find so far. Now, I'm convinced that we are about to find not only my RUDD, but others as well. Good luck to us all!
