I think that I am probably not alone in that I have developed an obsession with a particular individual. >From a book, which I would guess was privately published, called "Hudlows in America" by Marguerite E. Robinson, printed in Nashville, Tennessee January 1969: "Mary, daughter of Andrew Jacob Hudlow and Elizabeth Royer married William Kyger". The book notes a child of this marriage as David Newton Kyger. 1) FACT: Mary JONES married William Kyger. (Bond exists) 2) No other Kyger researcher has noted a David Newton Kyger 3) 1850 Rockingham County census does not note a David Newton Kyger as a child of this family 4) FACT: William Kyger died April 28, 1855 (gravestone) Now the intriguing part: 5) 1870 Rockingham census notes the following: a) Mary KYGER, age 30. (In conflict with the 1850 census which says she was 24--birthdate of about 1826--and her gravestone which notes her birthdate as June 14, 1827. b) Newton KYGER, age 8. Birthdate of about 1862--seven years AFTER her husband's death. (I have found marriage information for Newton Kyger and birth records of three of his children. One of his children is buried beside the graves of his in-laws. They are all buried in the same graveyard as Mary Jones Kyger and her husband, William Kyger.) c) Luemmalilly (a guess at best) KYGER, age (doesn't even resemble a number). Sex: could be an M or an F but is crossed out. Noted as "at home". d) The five farms surrouding Mary are occupied her three daughters by William Kyger, her brother-in-law and her brother-in-law's son so there is no question that this is William's widow. So, my question: Are there any Hudlow or Royer researchers out there who are acquainted with the children of Andrew Jacob Hudlow and Elizabeth Royer (specifically Mary and who she married)?
