As many are well aware clerks had trouble writing the same name the same way more than once. My family is Southard and there are many spellings and Sudduth is one of them in official tax records (Stafford and Madison). DNA seems to think we are related to the Southworths of England and Southards of Plymouth but not the Southards of New Amsterdam. Anyway Southard and its many spellings comes from Stafford and Fauquier and migrated across Culpeper to Madison c 1796. However Suddith is in fact a distinct family name for that Area John -----Original Message----- From: vaculpep-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:vaculpep-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Marge Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2009 3:16 PM To: vaculpep@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [VACULPEP] Sudduth Name There are several TV stars with that name also. Watch some of the shows and read the players names. I also saw someone connected to the White House, in the crew that fixes or sets up things. Now that person could be connected since they live so close to Virginia. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to VACULPEP-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
