Gerald - I looked through my papers, and "Rudd Branches" that I received from Celia. It seems that Erastus H. Rudd Jr. was married 3 times: 1) 1838 to Eliza Hancock - no ch. 2) 1848 to Caroline Bradford, 5 ch. b. between 1849-1857. 3) 1858 to Elizabeth Walker, 3 ch. b. between 1859-1869. Although I don't have any record of ch. during his first marriage, I wonder if there were... which would include your Ida Marie Rudd b. 1844 who m. Lachoneus Barnard... on down to you. Can you please supply more info on your line - birth/marr./death dates & places. It is always a JOY to find missing leaves & branches. .. Look forward to your reply. [email protected]
