Notes:

RESIDENCE: 1867 - In 1867, William, John W. and Wesley all signed loyalty oaths (by their mark). The loyalty oath that they signed is reproduced as follows: "I, William Hudson, do solemnly swear in the presence of Almighty God that I am a citizen of the state of Georgia;that I have resided in said state for 12 months next preceding this this day and now reside in the county of Fulton in said state; that I am 21 years old, that I have not been disfranchised for participation in any rebellion or civil war against the United States; that I have never been a member of any State Legislature, nor held any executive or judicial office in any state and afterwards engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States or given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof; that I have never taken an oath as a member of Congress of the United States or as an officer of the United States,or as a member of any State Legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state to support the Constitution of the United States and afterwards engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States or given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof; that I will faithfully support the Constitution and obey the laws of the United States and will to the best of my ability encourage others to do so. So help me God." Interestingly, even though all of these men (and most of the others who made these oaths) were educated and could read and write, the oaths were signed by their mark,presumably to maintain some level of plausible deniability.

RESIDENCE: 1870 - William I. Hudson appears in an Atlanta City Directory. His residence is listed as Rock St., at the southeast corner of Mangum. His occupation is listed as a train hand for the W&ARR.

NOTE: 44 Victoria St. was near the corner of Victoria and Mangum St., just a couple of blocks north of Jones Ave. This is the area has been redeveloped and the streets have disappeared. It is just a few blocks north of the Georgia World Congress Center.

RESIDENCE: 1871 - William I. Hudson appears in an Atlanta City Directory. His residence is listed as Mangum St., his business address is Thurmond and Rock. His occupation is listed as a fireman for the W&ARR.

RESIDENCE: 1874 - Irving W. Hudson appears in an Atlanta City Directory. His residence is listed as 44 Victoria St.

RESIDENCE: 1876 - William I. Hudson appears in an Atlanta City Directory. His residence is listed as 44 Victoria St. and his occupation is listed as conductor for the W&ARR.

RESIDENCE: 1878 - William I. Hudson appears in an Atlanta City Directory. His residence is listed as 44 Victoria St. and his occupation is listed as conductor for the W&ARR.

RESIDENCE: 1879 - William I. Hudson appears in an Atlanta City Directory. His residence is listed as 44 Victoria St. and his occupation is listed as conductor for the W&ARR.

RESIDENCE: 1880 - William I. Hudson appears in an Atlanta City Directory. His residence is listed as 44 Victoria St. and his occupation is listed as conductor for the W&ARR.

RESIDENCE: 1881 - William I. Hudson appears in an Atlanta City Directory. His residence is listed as boarding at 178 Luckie St. and his occupation is yard conductor for the W&ARR.

Irvin Hudson is listed in the 1860 census as a schoolteacher. By 1880, he is listed as working for the Western & Atlantic RR. He is also called William more frequently than Irvin by this point.

Garrett's Necrology lists him as a railroad man in Atlanta and says that he died in Cobb Co.

Assuming the William I. Hudson who lives very near to Wesley is this William, in 1880, he is shown with an additional daughter and a John R. Pair who is listed strangely in the house. I am more inclined to believe this family is the right one than the 1860 family.

THIS IS NOT OUR WILLIAM. In the 1910 census, William J Hudson is listed as boarding in the home of Joseph Lee in Marietta, Cobb Co.,GA. The home is located on Locust St., near Church St. William is listed with a wife, Virginia. There are some inconsistencies between this and previous census records. The recorder lists William and Virginia as having been married 40 years and having no children.However, in an earlier census, I find William and a wife identified as Mary E in the home with several children (not yet recorded here). I would expect that the data provided to the census enumerator in 1910 was in error and provided by someone besides William and his wife.

Since William I kind of disappears, perhaps we should check railroad records.

Since in his last known residence, William is shown as a boarder,perhaps his wife has died between 1880 and 1881.

There is a William J. Hudson in Cobb County, buried in Citizen's Cemetery in Marrietta - Capt in the 7th Ga Inf, Co I. Tombstone says 1834-1911. That fits with William I., but it is not likely to be him. There is no evidence that William Irvin is really William J or that William Irvin was an officer. On the other hand, William died in Cobb County. And his brother John W. served in the 7th Ga. Inf.

Throughout 1862, a W. I. Hudson is listed as tax receiver and tax collector for Fulton County in the Atlanta Weekly Intelligencer. Either he served in the Confederacy or he served as tax collector, but not both, since they overlap.

Residence:
1857 Georgia Property Tax Digest
Erwin Hudson - 1 poll, $275 personal property, taxable property $75, tax on poll 25 cents, total tax 31 cents.

There is also a William E. Hudson listed.

Misc:
Petit Jury #1, sworn Oct 11, 1858
Juror No. 1. - Erwin Hudson
Juror No. 7. - William Hudson

William could be either of these people. There is an additional William J. Hudson in the records at this time that could well be confused with William I. Hudson.

Residence:
William paid a poll tax and had no taxable land or property in 1859.

Misc:
Petit Jury #2, Sworn Oct 3, 1859
Juror No. 5. W.I. Hudson

Census:
The W.I. Hutson in this enumeration, I believe to be the correct one, but am not absolutely positive. He and his wife are both listed as born in SC, while I know that William Irvin was born in Fulton. However, he is the only Hudson in the district where I am confident that he lived.

Family/Spouse: Mary E.. Mary was born in 1834 in South Carolina, United States; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
