Elijah Hudson was the son of Joachim and Elizabeth; he was born in 1769 in Anson County, North Carolina. Elijah's birth place has been ascertained from 2 of his son's comments in 2 of the Federal Census'. Elijah's father Joachim did not move to Anson County, North Carolina until ca. 1777 and ELIJAH was supposedly born in 1769.

He married Unity "Uni" Matthews and they had five children together. He then married Sarah Sally Fontaine and they had two children together. Their marriage ended by 1830.

Elijah Hudson operated a post office from his home, (thus the name, HUDSONIA, GA.)*

In 1837-38 he acquired a substantial amount of property.

He died in November 1843 at the age of 74 .Elijah Hudson's place of burial is an assumption based on where he and family supposedly attended Church at that time. He could actually be buried on the original Hudsonia property. White pine wood markers were made for most of the graves in Georgia in that time.
