NOTE - If his birth date was 1 Apr 1856, then his age should have been 14 instead of 17. I believe that a simple answer to the incorrect age can probably be explained by the enumerator mixing up the ages for David and Hudson.

bullet  Marriage Notes:


Hudson and Hattie were both born in Ohio. I don't know the exact marriage location in about 1879 but they appeared in the 1880 US Census in Gratiot County, Michigan. They then moved to Johnson County, Missouri for a few years after 1880 where their daughter, Allie, was born in 1882. By June of 1900, they had moved to Paulding County, Ohio were they appeared once again in the census. By the time of their deaths, they were living in Fostoria, Seneca County, Ohio.
