Sorry, prematurely sent. working on a notebook for awhile and not used to it. anyway, my Rudd is Thomas Edward Rudd, poss. born in vt , no dates avail. but his son, Thomas Edward,Jr. was b.1849,d.1921. He died in Cassville, N.j. but may have been born in Vt. , although vt. does not have a birth cert. onhim. He married Jennie E. Stewart. Any hints? Again, sorry for the e-mail mix up.
