Hi all Any Ludwig/Ludwick researchers out there?? or anyone up for a puzzle? My goal: to find the parents of my gr gr grandfather (Joseph Ludwig) born 1810 in VA. He married Sarah BOUDE 1842 Shenandoah although it has been spelled wrong in the abstracts. I have ruled out some Ludwigs and am now trying to discover the name of the male child born abt 1810 of Philip Ludwig and Martha Dodson On the 1810 census there is George Lutewick 1 male 10-16, 3 males 16-26 and 1 male 45 and over (George) 1 female 10-16, 1 female 45 and over and close by Philip Lutewick 2 males under 10 (one is Jacob born 1808 and ? born 1810) 1 male 26-46 (Philip) 1 female 26-45 (Martha Dodson) They married Aug 1805 in Shenandoah Joseph Lutewick 1 male 26-45 (Joseph); 1 female under 10 and 1 female 26-45 I haven't found a marriage of a Joseph Ludwig in Shenadoah for this time period There is a Joseph Ludwig and a Catharina having children baptized in 1800, 1815 and 1817 Are Philip and Joseph sons of George? or ?? A George Ludwig was on the 1789 and 1799 tax lists in 1789, 1 white male over 16--must be George in 1799 3 white males over 16 George and.....?? in 1820 George is living alone and 45 and over which would make him at least 55+ born 1765 or earlier next to him a Joseph 2 males under 10, 1 male 16-26 (can't be the Joseph from 1810 census) 1 female 16-26 and not too far away a Joel Ludwig 2 males under 10, 1 male 26-45 3 females under 10, 1 female 10-16, 1 female 26-45 and near him Philip Ludwig 3 males under 10, 2 males 10-16, 1 male 26-45 (Philip) 2 females under 10, 1 female 26-45 (Martha Dodson) I have followed up on this Philip and the 1830 census leads to more mystery Barbara Brea CA
