Hi R-Gang Cousins, We need to get some information flowing on this list - been too quiet too long! ;-) I recently purchased the "National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vols. 1-85, 1600s-1900s" CD from Broderbund. I find the following Rudd references: -Index to Revolutionary War Pension Applications, Supplement I, page 938: Rudd, Andrew, Conn., cont., S80077 Rudd, Archer, Va., S6040 Benjamin, Va. Sea Service, Susan, W5756 Bezabel, N. Y., S10001 Burlingham, N.

Administration to mother Ann Rudd, widow (Sept. 1752) -First Fifty-Two Years of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Alexandria, Virginia, Vol. 69, page 1: King, Judson m. Ann Rudd in Fairfax Co., 6 Aug. 1822 (C-4) page 128: Rudd, Mary m. Andrew Allen, both of Fairfax Co., 8 Oct. 1822 (C-4) -Some Amelia County, Virginia, Colonists, 1737-1745, Vol. 65, page 1: "Virginia colonists paying for their transportation to the colony and meeting the residency requirement could appear before the Governor and Council or the county court and receive fifty acres for each individual imported. At the county level the court minutes may contain records of these head right claims, records which contain more genealogical data than colony-level land patent books. The following records are abstracted from the first court order book of Amelia County, Virginia. None of the subsequent order books contained such entries. Entries consist of the following information: name(s) of individual claiming head right, date of court record, place of origin, year of arrival in the colony, and (in parentheses) page number of the original record."
