Joann, My sister attend my uncle's 80th birthday party just recently and came away with my great-grandmother's name, Ella Marlette. If you remember, from my grandfather's journal, the Marlette family history was there but did not state Ella as William's wife. So here's my updated line. Jonathan Rudd (1620-1658) - Mary X Nathaniel Rudd (1652-1727) - Abigail Hartshorn Joseph Rudd (1708-1787) - Sarah Hazen Mosely Increase Moseley Rudd (1734-1802) - Bathshuba Johnson Silas Rudd (1756-1804) - Phebe Herrick Levi Rudd (1796-1890) - Olive Brooks Silas Rudd (1826-1898) - Sarah Collins William Rudd (1867-?) - Ella Marlette Charles A. Rudd (1891-1952) - Lucy Ward William E. Rudd (1927- ) - Maude E. Hoyt Douglas W. Rudd (1954- ) - Patricia L. Payne Joann H. Nichols wrote: > Hi, Doug, > > Good to hear from you again!
