Hi Lucky Hmmm ­ I recall looking through the info that I have on the Hudsons a few months ago in response to an email from you, but research continually yields new threads. My husband is a direct descendent of Hougham. I've looked through all my info and include what I have on that generation below. The parents and siblings that I have on record for Hougham Hudson (1820 settler) are: Father: Hougham Hudson b. 1769 (son of Samuel Hougham Hudson) Mother: Mary Hugget b. 1770 Children: Anne George Hougham b. 1798 d. 1860 m. Elizabeth Ann Walker Mary May b. 1797 (Presumably the Mary Hugget Hudson that Paul refers to) Thomas b. 1800 Richard b. 1803 William b. 1809 d. 1869 m. Adriana Maria Margaretha Rademeyer Most of my information on the Hudson family came from a document written by a lady, Daphne Childs, which I sent to Paul a while ago and which you should be able to access on his website (www.1820settlers.com).

I have had quite a lot of correspondence over the years with various family researchers on the Hudsons, and they are a challenge. Unfortunately I don't think we will ever get the truth behind all this. I have it thata) Henry died at sea on the John en route or before sailing to South Africa - The Settler Handbook, page 80, Hayhurst's partyb) There is some doubt that Henry was actually married to Mary (Mary Hugget Hudson, born May 1797, sister of Hougham Hudson). It is thought that they declared as man and wife by Hayhurst, to save on the costs of the scheme and that their children, Richard and James, were actually her younger brothers. Their reported ages differ between Morse Jones and Nash. I do have quite a few notes on this 'family' under the respective persons on my www.1820Settlers.com, mainly written by Rob Prestwich, a Hudson and Robinson researcher. We also have it that James married a Rosa Collier, but no source.

I am aware that two Hudson men came to South Africa. Maybe they were brothers, Hougham and Henry. My HUDSON branch are descendant from Henry. The little information I have is as follows: Henry *abt 1778 X Mary NN, Two sons, Richard and James. James HUDSON X Antoinette Annie LEHMAN. I have found two children, a daughter, Annie Antoinette HUDSON *1854 -1937 X Francis William JAMES in 1872 (son of 1820 settler Elizabeth KNIBBS) XX Cornelis MOSTERT 1890. And son, Charles William HUDSON *1862-1933 X Johanna Eveldina BRANDT 1864-1934 in Potchefstroom. That is all the snippets of information that I have and a little on the BRANDT family. I have assumed here that Annie Antoinette HUDSON and Charles William HUDSON, are sibling. Sincerely hoping someone can help here.
