Me again! This is for folks who may be researching Rudds in New Jersey and New York. It's from "Records of the Rudd Family," Mary Amelia Rudd, 1920: pg. 266- "Another family of Rudds of a still later period derives descent from Joseph Rudd, of Bourton-on-Water, Glos., through his son Richard Rudd (1786-1852), who emigrated to America in 1815 and settled at Norristown, Pa., later moving to New York City. His wife was Mary (1782-1834), daughter and co-heiress of Wm. Hanwell, of Brize-Norton, co. Oxford. Four sons and one daughter, issue of this marriage, all married and left issue, so that his family became well established. The late Robert Schell Rudd, Esq. (1. Joseph, 2. Richard, 3. Joseph), a lawyer of New York City, was one of the better-known members of it, and a few years ago was Mayor of Glen Ridge, N.J." Celia
