    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Reference Number: 778
    • Alt. Birth: 1855, Townsville, Vance, North Carolina, USA
    • Census: 1880, Logan, Harrison, Iowa, USA
    • Alt. Death: 1910, Henrico County, VA

    Notes:

    Twin with John Rudd

    He was living in Fairfield, Henrico County in the 1910 census.

    Probably death was in Henrico County

    Ok, I had to pull out my Rudd research. Our g-grandfather William Edward Rudd was born 1855, his father, our gg grandfather, Augustus Samuel Rudd was born about 1812. He would be a contemporary of William Tottington Rudd who was born I 1809. I don't know where Wm Tot fits into the picture yet.
