Hi, Ronnie, I'm sorry but I don't recognize any of your names. I am also sending this reply and your original message to the Rudd Mail List hoping someone on there might recognize your family. I am descended from Lt. Jonathan Rudd who came to CT, but there are other members on the list descended from a couple of lines who were from the southern states. We also have some on the list who are still in England. Good luck, Joann Nichols RRudd1818@aol.com wrote: > > I am searching for any relatives of my grandfather.
