There is no "homeplace" still standing. There once was the remains of a log cabin in which Shelton (6) HUDSON and his famiy lived, but it burned in the late 1970's, John W. Hudson

Surnames: Hudson/Hoselton/Mitchell/Stonebraker(Stonebreaker),Haines Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BAC.2ACE/1029.2.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: It is indeed very difficult to to discern the true facts from the fictious ones when it comes to genealogy! Especially when even the "official" records give conflicting information. However, if you don't do a little speculating, you may never come upon the clues that connect the many pieces of the puzzle together. It's by considering all the various possibilities (and sometimes working from both ends to eliminate false trails) that enables a person to know where to begin looking in the first place, especially for someone who has never been taught much about their family history, & most of the ancestors are already dead or old, with faulty memories. As in my case- I know there has to be native american blood in my ancestral lineage somewheres, because some of the health problems that various family members have are usually found in native americans, not caucasians, plus our physical features are more prominent among native americans than white people. Also, several of us! have a natural tendency to participate in native american ceremonies, despite being raised in traditional caucasian ways. Since no one in my immediate family knows where this indian heritage comes from, and there doesn't seem to be any certain proof readily available, then I must consider all the different possibilities of how I can be related to the Hudsons, & still have a dominant native american bloodline too. If it was through Ruth Whitecotton alone, then I doubt after 6 generations (I being the 7th) that I would have such a dominant indian genectic makeup. So somewheres along the line, this dna would have to have been re-enforced. There's a rumor among various family members that Augusta Hoselton was supposed to have been full-blooded indian, either of the Blackfoot tribe (a member of the Goforths) or was Cherokee or Chickasaw. But even if she was, that was 3 generations before my own. And again, there doesn't seem to be any way to validate the information.

Especially if the relationship was through his son, John and a native american wife. But the Hudson name must have started somewheres among the native americans, because there are a lot of them (especially among the Cherokee and Choctaw tribes), and I don't think they were all slaves who took on the name of the plantation owners upon their liberation.
