From your earlier posting several days ago I assumed that perhaps you had a connection between Jacob HUDSON and the HUDSONs of Clifford, or Turkey Mountain in Amherst Co, VA.. AS far as we can tell from our records, Jacob appears not to be connected to the Amherst Co, VA HUDSONs.. Almost all of the HUDSONs in Amherst Co, VA, descend from Joshua HUDSON and Elizabeth Rush of Westmoreland Co, VA. Joshua HUDSON died 1704 in Westmoreland Co, VA leaving land and a will that clearly deliniates his eight children, some whom removed south in Virginia to Culpeper Co and Orange Co, and later (further south) into Amherst county where Joshua HUDSON's grandson, (also Joshua) purchased land in 1769. Again, may thanks for your help. John W. Hudson
