I am searching for information of Jesse Frank HUDGINS, a civil war soldier who married in Bridgewater, Mary Washington SMALS, a daughter of Henry SMALS soon after the end of the war. They were the parents of Minnie b. 1869, Harry Clifton b. 1871, R.E.Lee, b. 1873, Hugh Tilden b. 1876, Otis b. 1878, Leona b. 1881, and twins Otho and Osie A. b. Sept 9 1886. Family oral history indicates that Frank died near Grottoes of natural causes in the late 1880's or 1890's. I have traveled to that area but have found no record of his grave or other information. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has information of the HUDGINS or SMALS family. It is of interest that Henry SMALS for many years created a daily diary which, I'm told, is now in the collection of James Madison University Library. Thanks for any help, Don Cliff
