Not to add to the apparent confusion over Hannes (John) Fudge and John Peter Fudge, but I believe Jo Bennett is on the right track concerning Harshmans with the Fudge line being mentioned. As stated, the younger David Fudge did marry Elizabeth Hunter in Warren County, Ohio, on August 9, 1804. It is my understanding that David and Elizabeth had a son, Thomas J. Fudge, born January 18, 1815, (died in 1861). In turn, Thomas J. Fudge married Phebe Ann Pence, the daughter of Henry Pence and Mary "Polly" HARSHMAN, on March 21, 1839, in Eaton, Preble County, Ohio. Mary "Polly" Harshman was the d/o Daniel HARSHMAN and Barbara Huffman. So, yes, this particular line of Fudge did indeed marry into the Harshman line or vice versa. Whether Daniel Fudge, Jr.'s grandfather was John Peter Fudge or Hannes (John) Fudge is still open to debate, I guess.
