Notes:

Some of Mildred and Norvelle's notes called him Roland and his son Roland Jr. However, the marriage record for Ruby Purtle says Lee Dendy.

The Lee Dendy record is clearly not the right person.

Roland married Ruby Purtle on 9 Jul 1925 in Norphlet, Union, Arkansas, United States. Ruby (daughter of Christopher Columbus (C. C. ) Purtle and Carol Hudson) was born on 29 Jun 1908 in Nevada, Arkansas, United States; died on 13 Jun 1994 in Smackover, Union, Arkansas, United States; was buried in Jun 1994 in Smackover, Union, Arkansas, United States.

Notes:

Just to cause more confusion, Norvelle & Mildred, who presumably were familiar with these people and not with the census records, said that Ruby Purtle married first Dendy and then Spears. However, there is also a Ruby Dendy, age 11, found in the 1920 census of Jackson Parish, Louisiana. She was also born in Arkansas. Several trees on Ancestry and Findagrave claim that she was the person who married P. Jackson Spears in 1931. However, I will trust Mildred & Norvelle over a census record on this one.

It does not appear that Ruby had children in either of her marriages.

Notes:

Robert Hale records an additional child, Homer, b. 1909, for this family. I suppose this is based on the proximity in the cemetery.But he does not appear in the family in the 1920 census, so I think he belongs to one of the other Purtle families.

Census:
In the 1910 census, she is listed as having had 2 children, both living.

Notes:

J.W. Hudson served on first Bodcaw school board, 1896

J.W. Hudson was appointed to the church committee at Pumpkinvine Baptist Church, Paulding County, Ga. on 23 Mar 1867. He was listed in the church minutes as CC, conference chair, until 25 Jan 1868. It is possible that this is a reference to his father, but typically in these church minutes, his father his noted as Wesley or W. Hudson without any other initial or name. However, there are notable exceptions to this.

Around 1870, John Hudson and his best friend, John Gann, came west from Paulding County, Georgia to Nevada County, Arkansas. In Arkansas, the two friends married aunt and niece (Millie Almand and Charlotte Armour, half-sister of Millie's mother).

According to his obituary, J.W. Hudson was a member of the Masons in Arkansas. Perhaps his father was as well in Georgia.

Birth:
J.W. Hudson was born in Terminus, Georgia, which later became Marthasville and then Atlanta, Georgia.

Military:
MILITARY: In John W. Hudson's service record, there is a small confusion as to exactly when and where he enlisted. There are cards in the service jacket for John W. Hudson, Co B, 7th Georgia Infantry and for John W. Hudson, Co F, 7th Georgia Infantry. I suspect that this is the result of a reorganization in the field.

It appears that J.W. Hudson enlisted in Co. B, 7th Georgia Infantry on 31 May 1861 in Atlanta. The unit then marched to Virginia where it was reorganized in July of 1861. Consulting the regimental histories might be helpful in this regard.

Served under General Lee in Civil War. Was at Appomattox. Member of Co. "B", 7th Georgia Regiment of Georgia Infantry. He enlisted in May 1861 and was paroled at Appomattox in April, 1865, having served the entire war.

John W. Hudson enlisted in Co. B, 7th Georgia Infantry as a Private on 31 May 1861 at Atlanta, Georgia for a term of one year. (He ended up serving for the duration of the war.) On July 18, 1861, he was found in Co F of the same regiment, enlisting there in Winchester, Virginia.

During July, August, September, and October 1861, he was recorded as Absent - Sick. He is listed on the register of the General Hospital at Orange Court House, Virginia on 21 Oct 1861 with remittent fever. On 25 October 1861, he is again found on a register of the General Hospital at Charlottesville, Virginia for intermittent fever but returned to duty on 4 Nov 1861.

John W. Hudson is listed on the regimental return for Co. B, 7 Regt Georgia Infantry for November 1861.

On a register of the Medical Director, Army of the Potomac at Manassas Junction, Virginia, 28 Nov 186, it is noted that if his disability is such as to warrant his discharge from the service, transfer him to the General Hospital at Warrenton for that purpose. He appears on the register of Chimborazo Hospital No. 1 in Richmond, Virginia, admitted on 29 Nov 1861 and transferred to Huguenot Springs. He returns to duty on 6 Dec 1861, on register of the C.S.A. hospital at Farmville, Virginia.

He was recorded as Present for January & February 1862 and is listed as 2 Corporal.

For March & April 1862, J.W. Hudson is listed as present and and promoted to 4th Sgt on 22 March 1862.

For May & June 1862, he is recorded as present with Sergeant pay due until 12 May, but listed as a Private again.

For the term June 30 to Oct 31, 1862, J.W. Hudson is listed as present, 4th Sgt, and promoted to 3rd Sgt on 1 Oct 1862. He is listed as present for Nov & Dec 1862. For Jan & Feb 1863, he is listed as absent, on furlough since 2 Feb., but present again for March & April 1863.

John W. Hudson appears on a receipt roll for the third quarter of 1864 for clothing.

On 21 Jun 1863, John W. Hudson was elected 3rd Lieutenant and is listed as present for May & June of that year. He is listed as present for July, August, September, October 1863, January-April 1864, July-October 1864. A roster dated 9 Oct 1864, near Chafin's Bluff, shows that J.W. Hudson was 2nd Lieut and was elected to that position on 21 Jun 1863.

John W. Hudson is found on a hospital muster roll at the 2nd Division Hospital in Richmond, Virginia on 31 August 1863.

He is found again in the same hospital, admitted on 29 August 1864 with a reason of "V.S. R. arm". He was furloughed for 40 days starting on Sept 15, 1864. Another register listing from the Jackson Hospital, Richmond, Virginia shows he was admitted on 28 Aug 1864 with "v.s. R. arm min B" and was furloughed for 30 days on 15 Sept 1864. A register of the Medical Director's Office, Richmond, Virginia shows him in Jackson Hospital until 17 Sept 1864 with a remark "Griffin, Ga". Perhaps a destination during furlough.

Through November, December 1864, January, February 1865, he is listed as present on company muster rolls.

John W. Hudson, 2nd Liety, Co B, 7th Ga Inf, is shown on a list of signatures and on a list of prisoners of war paroled at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, 9 April 1865 and in camp at that place on 20 Apr 1865.

Military:
Severe wound to his arm in the battle at Reams Station.

Military:
John W. Hudson applied for a Confederate Veteran's pension in Arkansas. Veteran # 24724 on 19 Aug 1915. Apparently, he applied with John W. Gann since applied the same day and have sequential veteran numbers.

1869 Georgia Property Tax Digest
J.W. Hudson - 1 poll

Residence:
Found on the 1870 Paulding County, District 1087 tax roll - no land, 1 poll, $1 poll tax.

Census:
John W. Hudson appears to be in the household of James Hudson, who has a son named Wesley. My supposition is that this may be a cousin, but we need to establish a family to connect Wesley to the father of James.

Additionally, there is a 14 year-old Martha Morris, who might also be related.

Notes:

[whitten,,sam scott wren], , N5, n1

There has been some discussion about the birth and death dates of Millie Almand. Her tombstone says she was born 1 May 1861 and died 9 Jan 1902. Mildred Wren says 3 May 1860-9 Jan 1901. Robert Hale says 1 May 1861-9 Jan 1901.

Died:
Many records record her death date as 1901. However, her tombstone, apparently placed at the time, says 1902. She was only 40 when she died.
