Hello, Ronnie...... There is a branch of Southern RUDDS who did have part of them to go to central Tennessee, and the papa of that group was named BURLINGHAM RUDD. This is a very interesting family, and there are a lots of them. Can't understand why most folks are not aware of that group. You may find them at the following address: http://homepage.hitter.net/wrudd I really hope you can find your family here. R.Presley ronpres@yahoo.com --- "Joann H.
