About Thomas Rudd

http://www.reddfamily.org/archives/1045

16 June 1744 – Joseph Redd granted 400 acres Henrico County adj. Joseph & John Redd.26 In the Book” Cavaliers and Pioneers” Volume V 1741–1749, p. 121. It shows the name as Joseph Redd and adj. To said Joseph, and John Redd, Henry Waltham, Richard Wood, Owen and Benjamin Branch. The names Rud, Rudd, Red and Redd are interchanged in a lot of documents. Joseph Rudd was a son of John Rudd Sr.: They are the same person because of where the land is and who their neighbors are.

18 August 1744 – Will of John Rud of Henrico Parish. In 1749 it became a part of Chesterfield County, Virginia. The identified heirs are:

  • John Rud Jr. – son
  • William Rud – son (As per his father’s will (John Rud) it states several times, “If William never returns home,” then my grandson William Rud the son of Joseph is to receive William’s inheritance. This means William Rud was gone by 1744 and the family didn’t know where he was.)
  • Thomas Rud – son – named an Executor
  • Joseph Rud – son – named an Executor
  • James Rud – son
  • Rebeccah – daughter (got only one shilling – probably because she already got land fairly cheap in 1731)
  • Avis – Wife (Everything goes to her until her death)

The will was witnessed by neighbors John Farguson and Moses Farguson on 8 Aug. 1744.

In the will, John Rudd Sr. only gives land to Thomas and William. He says every time he mentions William’s name, “If he never returns home, his grandson William son of Joseph” inherits. I believe, at this time, as far as the father knew everyone in the family already had land except Thomas and William. 28
