Deacon Thomas Judd is my 7th grandfather on my grandmother's side.My grandmother Abbie Fitch Freeman, b. 1897, d. 1988, and her sister researched quite a bit of our geneology back in the 1950's and 1960's.
Thomas Judd sailed to Massachusetts in about 1636, and I believe somewhere in my records I have info (and the specific date) that might include the name of the ship.He bought one of the original plots of land in Cambridge.(We have a fuzzy photocopy of a plat map with his name on it, but unfortunately my grandmother didn't record where she had found the original map or its records).
A few years after settling in Cambridge, the Judds traveled with a group of religious leaders up to New Hampshire.There they started a settlement (actually expanded a former Indian settlement).I forget the name of the town, but it's in my records somewhere.
I'm not very "educated" in the hobby of geneology, but it sure is interesting.We have a complete family tree showing how the deacon directly connects to our family, and my grandmother was able to trace the ship as having departed England from I believe the Isle of Mann.I'll look it up, if you're interested in hearing what else she found about him.(It's buried somewhere in my files at home.)
I do know my grandmother and her sister traveled to England in about the 1960s.They met with two British women who were distant relatives, directly related on the Judd side in Britain.Grandmother referred to them as the "spinster" sisters, and they have since passed on.Unfortunately, when my grandmother died, so did her stories of that meeting, and so did any leads like what the name of the English side of the "modern" family was.I was told by my mother (about 20 years ago) that they had no children and thus, the lineage on that side ended with their passing...
