My father, Ralph Hudgens, was just elected State of Georgia Insurance Commissioner after 6 years as a senator. His father was James Hudgens. I would like to see where we fit in if at all. Most of our family comes from Laurens SC.
Morgan,
The Laurens SC line so far has net been connected to my Hudgens, your line starts with Ambrose Hudgens(1762-1844), my line has an Ambrose about the same time period, but no connection yet. I do have alot on your line I could share with you.
I have a James Andrew Hudgens(1886-1976) whose son Ralph Hudgens born in 1927 Pickens Co SC Seems kinda old? To be “just” elected, but impossible, Is this you?
If not, can you give me more info?
Thanks – Tony Hudgens
also, how did you find this site? I just stated it a few days ago, I still have alot to add.
Tony,
Thanks for the reply. You are correct. My line comes down from Ambrose Hudgens and the Ralph born in 1927 is not my father. My father was born in 1942. I would love to see what you have on my line, and I have an uncle in Laurens that has pretty extensive detail on our line. I will copy him and maybe we can find the connection between what you have and what he has.
I found you because I have Google notifications set up so that anything posted on the web containing “Morgan Hudgens” is sent to me, so when you posted, I was notified. Great job on this by the way. I hope we can find the connection.
That is very interesting re: John Morgan Hudgens ! Tony Hudgens is correct in that Ambrose Hudgens did start our linage coming into Virginia in the late 1700’s. I think possibly from Kent, England but the spelling in England was Hudgins , so not sure. If I remember correctly , Ambrose Hudgens had 11 – 12 children and each one of the children had 11 or so children with the exception of one or two that never married but it’s been a while since I’ve looked at my info.
Here is where my info. hits a snag. My info. indicates that James Hudgens, my gg grandfather, your ggg, had a son by the name of Robert A. (Ambrose, I suppose) my g grandfather and he married Mary ( Molly) Wharton Hudgens and they had one son William Henry Hudgens, my grandfather and for whom I was named. Now, gg grandfather James was married to Eliza ( I think?) They had more children than just Robert A. , as it is my understanding due to Mr. Thornwell Dunlap, Jr. ( now deceased) telling me before his death that his g grandfather was James Hudgens , CSA veteran that lived off Stage Coach Rd., Maddens Sta. , SC ( that’s our James ) . Mr. Dunlap’s grandmother was Annie Hudgens Dunlap , daughter of James and that James died July, 1893 ( I think) in a home that still stands that belongs to the Dunlap family in Mountville, SC. Dad and Mom were always riding down to Mountville on Sunday afternoons to visit with Cousin Annie Dunlap. So, this all fits in. Here is what I would like to know , if the info. that you get from Tony Hudgens eludes to this in any way, please forward on . I would love to fill in the gap as to how many children James Hudgens did have . Also, if our James did have a daughter by the name of Annie that married a Dunlap then I would like to pursue the possibility of the Dunlap family having a photo of James that we might be able to copy , etc.
Thanks Morgan and please advise back if anything interesting crops up!
