You have given me exactly the information I needed to prove that this James Anthony Hudson was indeed the long lost brother to my great grandfather Robert Jefferson Hudson of Amherst County. James and Robert fought for the CSA with the Amherst Artillery for almost the entire War. As soon as the War ended James disappeared and the family lost all contact with him. I now believe that while they were fighting in Northern VA, James met and fell in love with Alcinda Owens of Frederick County and as soon as the War ended, he returned to Frederick to marry her. He remained in Frederick County for his entire life. I could not find any proof that he was the correct James Hudson until you sent me his marriage record showing he was really the son of Jefferson and Sophia Hudson of Amherst County. Now if I can just find some of his descendants, I may be able to reunite the family! Thanks again!
