Col Henry Ludington and his wife Abigail of Dutchess County, NY had 12 children between 1761 and 1786. Many of them stayed in New York State, some of them ventured west to Michigan and Wisconsin where they amassed fortunes in the lumber business. The town of Ludington, Michigan is named for their grandson James. Harrison, also a grandson, was Governor of Wisconsin. I am related to the Tertullus line of Catskill, NY that accounted for 8 of the grandchildren. I would like to find all their cousins. Thus far I have identified 49 grandchildren, but have not determined if daughters Rebecca and Mary had any children to add to this clan. If you happen to know, please share that information.
The children and their marriages were as follows:
1761 SYBIL called the "female Paul Revere" + Edmond Ogden, 1 son
Henry b 1786
1763 REBECCA + Henry Pratt NO FURTHER INFORMATION
1765 MARY
possibly married 3 times: David Travis, ? Colwell, Asahel Gilbert
NO INFORMATION ON ANY CHILDREN
1767 ARCHIBALD + Elizabeth Sears, 3 children
Orin 1796, Eli 1800, Cornelia 1801
1769 HENRY died young
1771 DERRICK believe he died unmarried at age 69
1773 TERTULLUS + 1) Rebecca Brown 4 children
2) Anna Egbertson, 4 children
1) Eliza 1805, Julia 1807, Amelia 1808 , Henry 1809
2) Ira 1814, Robert 1816, Harriet 1817, Tertullus 1820
1776 ABIGAIL believe she died unmarried at age 39
1778 ANNA + Joseph Colwell, 11 children
??? could he be related to Mary's 2nd husband mentioned above?
Clarissa 1797, Vashita 1799, Sophia 1802, Anna 1804, Julia 1807,
George 1809, Warren 1811, Lewis 1814, Eliza 1817,

1782 FREDERICK + Susannah Griffeth, 12 children

Harriet 1822, Anna 1823, Abby 1827, Joseph 1829,

Laura 1814, Delia 1816, William 1818, Robert 1822,

That makes 49 ... but I feel there could be more. The search continues.

I know exactly what you mean when you say you struggle to stop long enough to write out what you've found. This is the reason I love blogging. It is causing me to write down what I am finding. I've been with Geneabloggers for just over three months. This year, I received "An Early Christmas Gift." I was grateful to have this community to share it with on my blog. It was the best gift I could have received. It was a gift I could keep and gave away at the same time. Happy New Year to you! Happy Blogging!
