VA Wills 1743-1816 for $25.00 postage & handling $3.50 first book & $2.50 each additional book, check or money order to me: Dee Ann Buck 10814 Paynes Church Dr. Fairfax, VA 22032 I do not see a Hudson marriage in Amherst Co.VA for his parents. Vogt's book does have a Wm. Owen & Elizabeth Wilson marriage bond posted on 24 May 1838. You should be able to find these people on all the census. Good luck.
