JanMell....You got my attention when you asked for information from someone on JAMES ??RUDD from Virginia via Tazewell, and mentioned your grandfather was HENRY CLAY RUDD, born about 1899, or about. My HENRY CLAY RUDD probably never got that far away from home except for the years he was on tour of the country by the generosity of the CSA during that war. I wish we could connect with our names. Hope you have better luck than I have over the years. Ron Presley Descendant of JAMES W.G. RUDD and HENRY CLAY RUDD b. 1839 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
