Here, they are married 38 years. He is listed as immigrating in 1870 instead of 1868 and she in 1866. This means that they were likely married in Massachusetts and came separately. Callahan, Patrick (I7023)
 
2706 In 1910, Sarah is living as a boarder. She reports that she is a widow and that 2 of her 3 children are living. Peterson, Sarah Oldham (I4850)

2718 In 1920, Rotha is listed merely as the ward of Ancon W. Jenkins. His wife, Clara is no longer in the home. Remarkably, he has gone from 50 to 40 years old. It seems likely that the age in 1910 was incorrect. Ross, Rotha Alice (I5412)
 
2719 In 1920, there is no indication that his mother was living with him or near him. This makes me think that she was still in Arkansas and died and was buried in Arkansas. Hames, Albert Sidney (I3225)

2723 In 1930, he says he is 32 years old. Hudson, Paul Reeves (I3772)
 
2724 In 1930, it appears that Robert W. Everett owned the house at 714 Hillcrest. He rented an apartment to Jerry Higgs and his mother. There were two servants in the house, presumably working for the Everetts. Higgs, Jere Will (I3531)
 
2725 In 1930, it looks like there are 3 families living together. The first is Burton A Cupp and his wife Rolaie (age 42). R.B. is listed as father-in-law, so he must be her father. Josephine Counts is in the house listed as a cousin.

The second family is E.H. Stuart and Lillian (age 20)

The third is Harold Burgess and Gertrue (age19)

I suspect that this is Millie, Gertrude, and Mollie 
Dennison, Robert B. (I9301)
 
2726 In 1930, Martha is shown as Martha Jones, living in the home of her daughter and son-in-law in Oklahoma. She says that she is 73 years old (b. abt. 1857) and was 16 when she was first married. That's a bit later than earlier censuses would indicate. Taylor, Martha A. (I5886)

An additional $1.40 for costs here and 35 cents for this writ. Recorded 18 Jun 1885 Hulsey, Taylor Lee (I3806)
 
2733 In a letter inquiring about her father's pension in 1889, Elizabeth M A Bailey Harralson says that her father was awarded a private pension in 1843 for his Revolutionary Service but he never received it, and now she would like what was due him.

She also claims to have been well acquainted with President William Henry Harrison and his family. 
Bailey, Peter Cock (I660)
 
2734 In addition to Charles, Carrie, and Annie, there is a 4th child in the household - Annie E Scruggs, age 9. She is listed as a granddaughter. She was born in Virginia, as was her mother. Apparently, there is a son who is not listed in this family. Scruggs, Charles C. (I5511)
 
2735 In addition to the children listed in the will, John also lists two granddaughters, Betsey Hoopper and Mary Ingram. It seems like these might be the children of a daughter that is deceased. Or the daughters of Lucy Marshall Malone. I expect that Lucy's husband has already died by the time of this will. Marshall, John (I9562)
 
2736 In all the things where she reports her name, it's Leovisa rather than Louisa. Leovisa W. (I6298)
 
2737 In an obituary, it calls out Billie Thompson. Not quite sure who this might be. Thompson, Ennis Howard (I6002)
 
2738 In early Madison County records, there are Gore, Adair, Landers, Sailors, Hudson, Lane who all end up in Paulding County later on. However, these records in Family Search require being at the FHC or an affilliate library.

There are several useful pages in Franklin Garrett's Notes on Old Families of Dekalb & Fulton Counties 1875-1932.
p. 19 - Hiram Casey - captain of the district where the Hudsons are found in 1850. Irish immigrant. Came to Dekalb from Madison, Georgia.
p. 32 - Wesley Hudson burial
p. 79-80 - Wesley Hudson - owned most of Simsville.


Lottery: It appears that Wesley Hudson was a fortunate drawer in the 1827 land lottery in Jackson Co., GA. I need to confirm this.


Democrat Meeting: Westly Hudson is listed as a delegate from Cook's District of Fulton County to the Fulton Democratic Meeting according to the Atlanta Weekly Intelligencer, 12 May 1859, p. 1

Letters of Guardianship: Wesley Hudson and William Cannon apply for letters of guardianship for the persons and property of George R. Cash and Allison Cash, orphans of George W. Cash, dec'd. (Southern Confederacy newspaper, August 24, 1862, p. 4)


CENSUS: Wesley Hudson is not found in a line-by-line search of the 1870 Paulding County Census.

Overview

Wesley Hudson was born in SC around 1808. At some point, he (and maybe his family) moved to Georgia. Wesley Hudson appears in Georgia by the time of his marriage to Elizabeth Landers in 1831. It is not clear where in Georgia he first landed, or where he was married. By 1840, he is found in Dekalb County, GA. Wesley Hudson married Elizabeth (Betsy Ann) Landers in 1831 and they had twelve children. Throughout the 1850’s and 1860’s, Wesley bought and sold land in the 14th and 17th districts of Dekalb County, which became Fulton County in 1853. This land was primarily located to the west of present day Georiga Tech and just to the west of the Fulton County Prison and Animal Control. Sometime between 1862 and 1866, Wesley and family moved from Fulton County to Paulding County, Georgia. They located in the Pumpkinvine community, just to the south of Dallas, Ga, along present day GA 120. Betsy Ann died in 1884. And Wesley died in October of 1889.

Connected Families

In 1850, Wesley appears in Dekalb County surrounded by other Hudsons, many of whom are likely to be related. In the Casey's District, there are several Hudson families. In particular, we find in dwelling 30, Notley Hudson (age 32), in dwelling 36, Catharine Hudson (age 30, in the household of Zilpha Wood), dwelling 92, Wesley Hudson (age 42),dwelling 94, Jane Hudson (age 60), dwelling 95, David Hudson (age 25). Farther along, in dwelling 111, we find Calvin Hudson (age 21). In addition to the families named Hudson, there are other related families here. In dwelling 93, Laura W. Carter, daughter of Wesley Hudson is listed with her husband Nelson. In dwelling 98, Rosanna Leachman is listed with her husband Matthew. According to the IGI, there is a marriage record in Jackson Co., Georgia in 1839 for Matthew Leachman and Rosiana Hudson. It would make sense that that Jane Hudson is the matriarch of this group and that at least Wesley, Notley, David are all her sons. Maybe. Or maybe they are cousins.In any case, they appear to be connected.

By 1860, in addition to these families, we also find a Giles Hudson and a Manning Hudson close at hand that could be connected as well. Manning Hudson appears to move into Campbell County, so maybe he’s not quite as connected.

Rhoda Hudson married John G. Wood in 1866 in Paulding County.However, there is a John G Wood enumerated in 1850 just a few dwellings away from Wesley Hudson in the household of Elias Wood.This could well be another connection.

David Hudson married an Elizabeth Wood in 1845 in this district. She did not live long and David remarried in 1848. If it could be shown that both John G. and Elizabeth were from the same family, this would help with showing some kind of connection between David’s family and that of Wesley. It is known that David moved on to Alabama in about 1855.

Clearly, all of these Hudson families are somehow connected. They also intertwine with the neighbor families. More research is required to sort out the ties. The fact that all Dekalb County records prior to 1842 were lost in a fire hampers our ability to trace this more efficiently.

On the Landers side, there are some connections floating around as well that I will mention, though these will be followed in more depth in the Landers section. In 1860, Rebecca Landers, age 55, is enumerated with Wesley's family. After some confusion over the relation ship to Rebecca, the 1880 census shows her listed as an aunt, presumably Elizabeth’s aunt. And she is listed as single, so perhaps she is a spinster sister to Elizabeth’s father.

Names

There has been some confusion over Wesley’s name. The tradition passed along in the Arkansas branch of the family was that his name was George Wesley Hudson. However, his tombstone, which was placed in the 1990’s by Howard Lane of Dallas, GA, reads John Wesley Hudson.Wesley himself is always referred to as just Wesley in any documents found to date. He confounds the problem somewhat by naming two sons after himself: John Wesley who went to Arkansas, and George Wesley who remained in Dallas. It seems likely that George Wesley was also called Wesley during his life. That would lend some credence to Wesley’s true name being George Wesley. However, since he himself was always called Wesley, until this can be resolved, he will be referred to as Wesley.

Pumpkinvine Baptist Church

One of the main places where Wesley’s name can be traced is in the church minutes for Pumpkinvine Baptist Church. Over a period of some 20 years, the Hudsons appear quite frequently. Initially, when Wesley joins the church, he is referred to as Wesley Hudson. A year later,in 1867, a J.W. Hudson takes a position on the church committee. This could have been Wesley’s son, John Wesley, since he was of age and had not yet left for Arkansas, but in light of the fact that Wesley was still around, it seems much more likely to refer to him. Most of the other references to him are clearly to W. Hudson or Wesley Hudson and are pretty much unambiguous, since his son was called John and his younger son, George Wesley, called Wesley, was not yet of age.

Wesley Hudson served on a number of church committees and was often called upon to visit and talk with church members who had gone astray and then to act to either include or exclude them from the church.He, himself, became the target of this same kind of activity. On 14 Feb 1874, Wesley Hudson acknowledged before the assembly that he had been drinking too much. Apparently this was resolved, since he was not excluded from the fellowship.

On 16 Dec 1876, Wesley Hudson and Matilda Moore were excluded from the church for living in sin. At first, I believed this must be a clue that Elizabeth and Rebecca had died and left Matilda and Wesley alone. But, the 1880 census shows both of them alive and well. I do not understand quite what would have caused this exclusion without also estranging Elizabeth. I believe at that time that Wesley moved his membership to Dallas Baptist Church. On 17 Nov 1877, the church received a petition for restoration from J.W. Hudson. John Wesley Hudson had already gone to Arkansas by this time, so this is somewhat confusing. Wesley had been excluded from the fellowship and would need a letter of restoration before he could transfer his letter of membership to another church. But, if this is a reference to Wesley,it goes back to the confusion over his name.

According to Franklin Garrett's Necrology, at one time, Wesley Hudson owned all of the property around the present (1932) site of Simsville in Fulton Co. More interestingly, Garrett describes the origins of the City of Atlanta, grown up around the "Terminus" of the Western &Atlantic Railroad. Wesley Hudson is listed as one of the pioneers in the area to sell land for the initial right-of-way from the railroad's crossing of the Chattahoochee River to its Terminus in Land Lot 78, District 14, approximately at the current intersection of Foundry St.and the W&ARR.

Based on the 1830 census, assuing Wesley & Elizabeth did marry in 1831, then they were probably in Madison in 1830. William is the only Hudson in the county where Wesley fits. John C. Landers, a name we keep coming back to, could be her father. But she also fits in Sarah Landers household.

Third service, under Capt William Gill and Col. Thomas Yancey. Discharged after three months.

Entered service again. Met with the troops of General Gates after his defeat. Was opposite the troops of General Nash when they were "cut to pieces". Discharged in the Cheraw Hills after serving three months.

Entered service again. Marched to Charleston and remained there for some time. Discharged after three months.

Entered service again. Engaged the enemy 4 miles west of Guilford Court House. Was wounded but was able to continue on the march. Discharged after three months.

Entered service again. Marched to Eutaw Springs in South Carolina and engaged the enemy. Took sick afterward and the army moved on, so he went home to Virginia.


DAR-PATRIOT: Pvt, NC, SC, PNSR

MILITARY: Peter served during the Revolutionary War in the Granville Co., North Carolina militia.

However. In light of the whole pension file and the fact that after a time his pension appears to have been rescinded, I am inclined to believe that he did not actually serve. He indicates that his father served. That is worth investigating.

2745 In his father's will, while bequests of ownership were made to all of the other children, none were made to Edmund. Likewise, the will said he should not be left alone. This makes me think that Edmund may have had some sort of disability. Foster, Edmund (I9437)
 
2746 In his inventory, he is called Captain Robert Marshall. That could be a local militia captain or another military service. Marshall, Capt. Robert (I4431)
