Hi R-Gang Cousins, Here's what I have on Johnson Rudd/Abigail Brown and children: Name: Johnson RUDD --------------------------------------------- Birth: 9 Jul 1769 Norwich, New London, CT Death: ca 1817 Middletown, Rutland, VT Father: Increase Mosely RUDD Sergeant (1734-1802) Mother: Bathsheba JOHNSON (1739-) Misc. Notes Birth Marriage Living in VT in the 1800 and 1810 censuses. Was a Private in Capt. William Hutchin's Company, Colonel Herrick's Regiment of Militia, 1780. He served as a Sergeant of the Company of Militia commanded by Capt. Isaac Tichenor, August 1784 and as Sergeant Colonel in Ebeneezer Wallbridge's Regiment of Militia, October 1781. Johnson may have died unexpectedly as no will has ever been found. He left 8 children, the last one a child of less than 2 years. His estate was declared insolvent; his brother, Barak was the administrator. Barak gave David, the son, a personal note ($200) for the farm. John Brown of Poultney purchased the farm from Barak. No mention of wife, Abigail nor any of the children. Marriage: 19 Jan 1798 Middletown, Rutland, VT --------------------------------------------- Spouse: Abigail BROWN --------------------------------------------- Birth: 29 Aug 1775 NH Death: 1860 Other spouses: John DEPUY Misc. Notes Abigail in 1860 Will County, IL census, living in home of Michael Conlisk and wife, Marie. The will of Michael states he married Maria DePue. Maria was the daughter of Abigail and 2nd husband, John DePuy (son of Benjamin and Elizabeth Swartwout?) >From Marie Hogle's notes: I have not been able to follow her - John Brown of Poultney, married Olive Rudd, sister of Johnson. I believe he is a brother to Abigail. When the Rudd family, including Abigail and her children, moved to Onondaga County, NY after the death of Johnson in Middletown, VT, I find that Abigail married again. I have not found the record of the marriage. But, by him she had one child - Mariah, who married in Ohio, Michael Conlisk. She may have married Benjamin, the father of Sarah DePuy who married Leonard Rudd, but if so, the gravestone of Arena must have the wrong death date.
