Would be very interested in these Hudsons...actually after many years of search all we knew was the my grndmother always appeared as Aramenta H Hays... and as did her brother have an H. after his name....we thought that the other childrens name were just carlessness by the census taker. that they did not.....it was not until 30 years later and after fruitless searches in all those thirty years did I find on a small daily death register by the county clerk-coroner found by an genealogist where it lists her death as Aramenta Hudson Hays married to William Robert Mitchell!!!!! She died after as short illness during a visit to family in Plainview Texas... But the lingering Hudson name always bothered me . as it would be a name passed down...My grandmother was born in 1839 and was only married once... But then why would James W. Hays name several children wit the same middle name unless it was a name to be carried down at least by the son if not the daughter?????...Little ws known of the Mitchells after many of them left for Texas after the 1860 census,,......we have also tried to ascertain if her vbrother william Hudson Hays was in Texas with her... found one that was right age etc.... and even right background ... but search proved inconclusive..... Boy I would hate to have done a whole family tree on Hays if ther was some unknown actor and these two actually came from a Hudson family... no birth certificates available so itt begs to be answered...LOTS of thing census and such records don't tell you..........AND we have seen an Aramenta Hudson in TN records but couldnt find any connection at the time...maybe one of those family secrets that add spice to the history! Will be glad to share if we connect anywhere... Lenora
