I was very excited to find this portion of James B. Hallums’ genealogy. It must have been something like this that was sent to my mother, but has since been lost. I knew he was descended from Elizabeth Hudgens Miles, daughter of James Hudgens, Sr. and sister of Edward, Gabriel, Holloway, and James, Jr. I think he must have suspected or perhaps knew that she was a Hudgens, although he left her surname blank at the top of the page, because he expressed his interest in Hudgens “material and proof of each statement” at the bottom of the page. No where else does the Hudgens name appear in his lineage! I am surprised by this because I had assumed all along that Bud Hallums knew that Thomas John Miles’ wife Elizabeth was part of the Hudgens’ family group that moved together from Cumberland County, VA to Robertson County, TN sometime between 1809 and 1811, probably the former.
