Obadiah Hudson III, Jr., was born abt 1800, in Randolph County, North Carolina and died before October 5, 1840, in Jackson County, Tennessee. He married, abt 1821, in Jackson County, Tennesse, Elizabeth E. Coons. "They were members of the Reformed German Church."
Obadiah was a farmer and in 1825 received a grant for 100 acres of land in Jackson County, Tennessee. In tax lists and legal papers he was called, "Obediah Hudson, Jr.," which indicates he was the son of an elder Obediah Hudson.
They lived near North Springs, Tennessee in Jackson County across the county line from Red Boiling Springs in Macon County. (Red Boiling Springs, a popular resort town of its day, once called Salt Lick Creek, lies sixty miles northeast of Nashville.)
Obadiah had no will. His son, Richard F. Hudson, and George Teal (relationship, if any, unknown), were granted letters to be executors of his estate.
(Note: In later years most Hudsons lived in the northern part of Macon County, Tennessee. The slavery question eventually divided the county and during the Civil War they were Union soldiers. The pro-slave sympathizers, who lived in the southern part, were Confederates. Many records were destroyed when the court house was burned during the war. Valda Hudson Raugh)
