Re: John Peter Fudge. He is not the Fudge of Rockingham (Hannes (John) Fotsch). I believe I have sufficiently proved that in my book "The Fudges of Madison County, Iowa, Kentucky and Virginia." The only Don Fodge that I'm aware of is the one from New York who was the informant to Carrie Poole, a researcher, about some marriages. I think this is recent. His line was the Tennessee branch of the family. The two Fudge brothers, Jacob Fudge b.1779 in Rockingham Co., VA and David Fudge are the only 2 children I have for David Fudge (Fodge) and Elizabeth This last David was born 1756/7 and died 1782. His father outlived him. The younger David was born 1781 in Rockingham Co., VA and married Elizabeth Hunter His brother Jacob born 26 Dec 1779 in Rockingham Co., VA died 27 March 1863 in Ohio He married Elizabeth Potterf. I really believe you could use the book. I have soft covered ones for $30. (187 pages)
