Phyllis, How excited I am to hear from you. My grandfather was Henry Guy Hudson and lived in Marie, WV with his brother Glen. I know about the cemetery you spoke about and have all the Hudson names from it, (I guess). Grandpa died in 1976 and the last time I was there was a few years before that. I remember looking out over some big beautiful valley from his yard. He did have indoor plumbing (a water pump inside) but the "facilities" were down a path outdoors. I did know that an Emmett Shanks married my great aunt Jeanie Hudson. Your Mattie Virginia must be the same one. She did have a sister named Chessie. The only information I have about John T. and Anna Eliza Hudson are their list of 15 children. I did find out some stuff about Robert H. Pitzer and his wife Lily Belle Frey and some children from his 2nd marriage. Do you have a Summers Cty. Marriage book that would list the marriage of John Tartan Hudson to Anna Eliza Pitzer? Do you know if her mother was Lily Bell and how did she die? Do you know if New Hope Methodist Church has any records about the people buried in their cemetery? I would love to have any information (and source notes) that you may have, if it is not to much trouble. I also have pictures of Henry and Glen Hudson if you are interested I could send them by snail mail. Hope to hear from you soon. Skoney Did you know Jesus prayed for His disciples? See John 17:6. Are you one of His?
