JOHN L.4 HUDGENS (GABRIEL3,JAMES2, ROBERT1) was born 1805 in Cumberland Co.Va., and died in Ky.
He married HENRIETTE CARLIN 02 Apr 1844 in Franklin Ct. Hse., Franklin, La., daughter of HONORE CARLIN and MARGUERITE BOURGEOIS. She was born 1803 in St. Martin Of Tours Ch., St. Martinville, La.
Arlington, Sugar Plantation, Franklin, St. Mary, Louisiana
mkater11added this on 25 Sep 2011Honore Carlin built Arlington, an antebellum mansion on the Bayou Teche, as his home on his large sugar cane plantation in Louisiana in 1830. The Carlin family had been in the area for some years already. The town of Franklin grew up around his family’s home there. The land originated from a land grant to Joseph Vincent Carlin,Jr, Honore’s father,from the Spanish government. Arlington was not destroyed during the Civil War, although the area did come under Union control, and still exists today.
First Husband was also First Cousin
mkater11added this on 25 Sep 2011Henriette’s first husband was Fleuroy Carlin, her first cousin, and son of Celestin Carlin, her father’s brother. They had six children before he died. Not long after, Henriette married John L. Hudgens and they had two sons, Lucilis and Louis.
Children of JOHN HUDGENS and ?? are:
i. SUSAN4 HUDGENS, b. 1830.
ii. VIRGINIA HUDGENS, b. 1832.
iii. ALBERT HUDGENS, b. 1835.
iv. BENJAMIN HUDGENS, b. 1836.
Children of JOHN HUDGENS and HENRIETTE CARLIN are:
v. LUCILIS HUDGENS, b. 1846.
vi. LOUIS HUDGENS, b. 1848. died 1920
Children
mkater11added this on 25 Aug 2011The first three children were fathered by Henriett’s first husband F. Carlin. These names are Anglicized. Their original names were French. Benjamin is not shown in any other records. He might have been John’s by a previous marriage, or Henriett’s by F. Carlin. Only the last two children were hers and John L. Hudgens’.
Children
mkater11added this on 23 Sep 2011Son Lucilius was a clerk in a store, and his brother Louis was a clerk in a saloon in the 1870 Census. Both were living with their parents, and John L. Hudgens was listed as a retired merchant. Were they working in the businesses he owned? Later, probably after John’s death, they and their mother Henriett returned to LA. Both brothers married Carlin women who were their first cousins.

marriage
mkater11added this on 12 Jun 2011Ham Hudgens never married and had no known issue.
Migration from North Carolina
mkater11added this on 15 Jun 2011It is stated in “Uncle Ham’s” Alexander Hamilton Hudgens (1854-1934) Bible which was passed to Grace Hudgens Davis, that the Durham family came to Tennessee from North Carolina in the period 1800 to 1809. It was at about the same time that the Hudgens’ clan moved from Cumberland County, Virginia to Robertson County, Tennessee. One hand-written Bible statement claims the Hudgens came in 1809; other people say they came in 1811.

Notes on Daniel Hudgens:
Rheumatoid Arthritis
DanielNDelanieHudgensGS
mkater11added this on 15 Jun 2011It is said that when Daniel was old, he was unable to do any work because his fingers/hands were so “crippled.” He would often sit outside under a tree in what is now the Hudgens Family Cemetery. It would appear that he had Rheumatoid Arthritis.
I have found many Cheatham County cemeteries online but not our Hudgens cemetery. Today it has a lovely wrought iron gate over the entrance that reads “Hudgens Cemetery.” It was made by a son of Donald Hudgens who was in that business. He is deceased now, as is Donald, but Donald’s widow Katy still lives next door to the cemetery. Donald sold some land between him and the cemetery to another family member who has built a new home there. And a younger sister of Donald bought land on the other side of him to build a retirement home. Sadly, Houston, or rather his heir, sold the old home place out of the family. It had been in the family over a hundred years. But there are others there now to look after the cemetery and maintain Hudgens in the area. It is my intention in the fall when the weather is cooler to go to the cemetery and catalogue all the graves so the information can go online. The cemetery was catalogued about 25 yrs ago and published locally in a collection of Cheatham County private cemeteries. However, this is an active cemetery and many more people have been buried there in the last 25 years.
Daniel Hudgens who originally bought the Floyd Hudgens place which became the Houston Hudgens place was married to Nancy Delaney Durham. She is the niece I think you are referring to and she is my great, great grandmother. My great grandfather, Winfield Sylvester Hudgens, was her fourth child, fourth son, and the first child to survive!! The other three babies were buried in unmarked graves on the same side of the road as the farm house, not across the road where the other graves are.
