EZEKIEL SUDBURY (ca.1695-1757) is the earliest person that we can identify with
reasonable certainty as the ancestor of all the Sudbury family members mentioned in
this history. Based on available evidence, he was probably born in Henrico County,
Virginia, near what is now the city of Richmond, sometime between 1690 and 1700.
There is no evidence to indicate that he came to Virginia from England; probably he
was the grandson of Peter, Robert, or Edward Sudbury, each of whom emigrated from
England in the mid-1600s. Glenn Boyd speculates that Ezekiel's father was John
Sudbury, one of Peter Sudbury's six sons.

The earliest documentary reference to Ezekiel is found in the records of Henrico
Parish, Virginia, and evidences his witnessing of the will of Bartholomew Stovall, of
Henrico Parish. The entry, dated May 1, 1721, is quoted by Glenn Boyd as follows:
"Will of Bartholomew Stovall presented by Anne Stovall (executrix), proved by
Ezekiel Sudbury, Ashford Hughes, Stephen Hughes (a quaker). Security: Stephen
Hughes, Robert Hughes."

The next known reference occurs in the record of a sale, on January 2, 1729, from
Richard Grills to Abel Turner, of 200 acres of land "in the possession of Ezekiel
Sudbury". He may have been working this acreage as a tenant farmer. In April 1734,
Ezekiel purchased some land for himself, in the amount of 140 acres, from George
Francis of Henrico County. The land, which cost £25, was situated on the south side
of the James River, "bounded by Henry Vanderhood, Col. Byrd, Chamberlain's field
and Sadler's line".

Ezekiel's first wife was named PATIENCE. He was married to her sometime before
1730, and she died before 1747. Patience was the daughter of PATIENCE TURNER,
who left a will dated June 13, 1730, recorded in May 1733. In her will, Patience
Turner named Ezekiel Sudbury as executor, and left certain items to Ezekiel, to her
daughter Patience (Ezekiel's wife), and to her granddaughter Martha
.
Evidence in the will of Patience Turner, and in the will of her husband, Henry Turner,
dated January 17, 1712 (or 1713), clearly indicates that Henry Turner was the second
husband of Patience Turner, and that he was not the father of Ezekiel Sudbury's wife.
Patience Sudbury had a different maiden name, but we can't be sure what it was. An
article in volume 31 of The Virginia Genealogist entitled "The Jacksons of Lower
Virginia", speculates that Patience Turner was originally married to Joseph Jackson,
and that Ezekiel's wife, Patience, was their daughter. However, the evidence cited for
this proposition seems inconclusive to the author of this history.

In 1746, Ezekiel began a series of conveyances of land and personal property to his
family, which provide a great deal of information about him. The first of these
conveyances, dated July 4, 1746, and recorded the following month, was apparently a
deed of gift "for love & affection" of certain land to his son, also named Ezekiel. (To
avoid confusion, the second Ezekiel will be referred to in this history as "Ezekiel Jr.".)

The land thus conveyed consisted of two separate parcels, the first of which Ezekiel
described as "all my land I purchased of George Francis [in 1734]". This parcel was
apparently given to his son outright. The gift of the second parcel was to take effect on
Ezekiel's death, and was to be accompanied by a gift of, in Ezekiel's words, "my
negro boy Robin". Ezekiel described the lands that were to pass on his death as "all
my land and the plantation where I now live, . . . being all the land I purchased of
George Rennard Turner".

Among the information which we can glean from this deed of gift is that fact that
Ezekiel was a resident of "Dale Parish", Henrico County. The deed also tells us that
Ezekiel Jr. was the son of Ezekiel's first wife, Patience, and that by 1746, Patience had
died. Ezekiel Jr. must have been approximately 20 years old at this time, if not older,
to have been deemed responsible enough to handle a 140 acre farm.

The following year, on April 8, 1747, Ezekiel signed an odd deed of gift which we
must assume was made in contemplation of death (although he did not die for another
ten years). To his son, Ezekiel Jr., he gave all his "goods and chattels", except that he
gave the following menagerie to his wife ANNE: "2 cows and 2 cows with calf, 2
sows and pigs and 2 sows with pig, 2 yews and lams and 1 chest". To his daughter
Patience, he gave £10 and £5 credit at a store. To his daughter Hannah he made the
same gift, except that it was not to take effect until three years after his death, a fact
that suggests Hannah may have been relatively young.

The 1747 deed is important in that it shows Ezekiel married to a second wife, Anne,
and with two daughters in addition to his son. Whether Patience and Hannah were
daughters of Ezekiel's first or second wife is open to question. The author of this
history speculates that they were progeny of Ezekiel's first wife, due to repetition of
the name "Patience", and the fact that Ezekiel's last four children seem to have been
much younger.

By way of a deed dated March 20, 1756, and recorded April 2, 1756, Ezekiel made
another conveyance to Ezekiel Jr. of the 200 acre plantation where he lived, together
with "one negro male slave Robin". This time the conveyance was not in the nature of
a gift after his death, but a present conveyance in exchange for £20. It is recorded that
Anne released her dower rights in the property.

Less than a year after this conveyance, Ezekiel died. The public records of Henrico
County contain the following entry:
_______________________________________________________________________

[O]n 25 Jan. 1757 Ezekiel Sudbury, in his last sickness, and at his house sent
for Benjamin Horner and Thomas Farmer to write his will and they, not
thinking themselves fit, declined. He said as follows, "Remember what I say.
All that I am now possessed with I give to my wife" and called in Benjamin
Horner, Thomas Farmer and Elizabeth Horner to bear witness to same.

Ezekiel's dying words were reduced to writing by his wife Anne, and on October 7,
1757, the writing, "purporting to be the nuncupative will of Ezekiel Sudbury", was
presented in court by Anne, as executrix, and was proven by the testimony of Benjamin
Horner and Thomas Farmer. It is interesting to note that the same Benjamin Horner
was a witness to the will of Patience Turner 27 years earlier.

The last public record relating to Ezekiel Sudbury is at the same time one of the most
in-formative and one of the most puzzling. The entry, dated March 1758, reads as
follows:

Churchwardens bind James and Benjamin Deans, orphans of Richard Deans to
Jane Hales to learn a trade of taylor; and also Joseph Stevens, a poor child; also
David, John, William and Jane Sudbury, orphans of Ezekiel Sudbury.

The entry tells us that Ezekiel had four additional children, David, John, William and
Jane. Probably they were Ezekiel's children by his second wife, Anne, since none of
them is mentioned with his other three children in the 1747 deed of gift recorded eleven
years earlier. The puzzlement arises from their description as "orphans". We know
that Anne Sudbury, who was probably their mother, was alive in early October 1757
when she probated Ezekiel's will. Did she die sometime in the ensuing five months?
Or did the term "orphan" simply refer to the fact that the children were without a
father? If so, and Anne was still alive, why was she unable to take care of them? Had
she fallen on hard times, or become seriously ill? We may never know the answers to
these questions.

SECOND GENERATION
Children of Ezekiel Sudbury and Patience Jackson

EZEKIEL SUDBURY (ca.1725-ca.1790) was his father's first son and namesake, and
greatly benefited from the system of primogeniture. His father gave him 140 acres of
farmland in 1746 (which means he was old enough by then to farm it), and sold him
his remaining 200 acres in 1756. The only known census record for Ezekiel is found in
the 1787 census of Virginia. Still living in Chesterfield County, probably on the land
he had received from his father, Ezekiel is shown as owning three slaves, three horses,
and eleven head of cattle. Glenn Boyd cites an undated record listing Ezekiel as
witness to the will of a woman named Obedience Hatcher.

A genealogist with whom the author of this history has corresponded suggests that
Ezekiel had four daughters, Obedience, Ruth, Phebe, and Patsie, but this remains to be
conclusively demonstrated. Glenn Boyd says that Ezekiel married a woman named
CATHERINE, and believes that Ezekiel was probably the father of Ruth and Patsie.
Glenn also refers to undated records listing Catherine Sudbury as witnesses to the wills
of William Cunningham (her husband's brother-in-law) and Savrinah Horner.

PATIENCE SUDBURY and her sister Hannah, dates of birth and death unknown, are
known to us only as recipients of money in their father Ezekiel's 1747 deed of gift.
Whether they were daughters of Ezekiel's first wife, Patience, or his second wife,
Anne, is unclear. Patience's name, and the fact that she and Hannah were old enough
in 1747 to receive substantial cash gifts, may suggest that the two girls were born to
Ezekiel's first wife.

DAVID SUDBURY (ca.1750-ca.1810) was born in Chesterfield County, Virginia,
apparently after 1747, since he is not mentioned with his half-brother and half-sisters in
his father's deed of gift recorded that year. The earliest record of his existence is from
the year 1758, when local chuchwardens (in Chesterfield County?) made him and his
brothers and sister a ward of Jane Hales due to their status as "orphans".

The next recorded reference to David appears in the book Marriages of Amelia
County, Virginia 1735-1815, compiled by Kathleen Booth Williams, where he is listed
as a witness to the marriage of Joseph Scott and Elizabeth Booker on November 13,
1778. By the time of the first census of the United States, David had moved to
Powhatan County, where he is shown as the head of a household of six whites and no
blacks in 1783.

David is also listed in the 1787 census of Virginia. At that time he was still living in
Powhatan County. The limited information provided in relation to this census tells us
only that he had one son living at home between the ages of 16 and 21, that he had six
slaves, and that he owned three horses and 12 head of cattle. Unfortunately, the author
of this history is unaware of any evidence that would indicate the name of David's son
referenced in this census.

Glenn Boyd's records reference an entry for David in the 1790 U.S. census, but the
author of this history has not yet seen the details for that entry. Glenn also cites an
unspecified source dated January 27, 1797, as indicating that David's land in Powhatan
County adjoins a parcel of land belonging to Abner Crump.

In the 1810 census for Virginia, David appears in the records for Buckingham County.
He and his wife are listed in an age category of 45 and above. The only other "white"
person living with them is a male, age 16-26, who would have been born between 1784
and 1794. Of the five children listed below, only David R., who was born about 1790,
would fall into this category. The census record includes two slaves.

Another listing in the 1810 census covering Buckingham County is for a woman named
Caty Sudbury. Her presence in the same county as David suggests the possibility of a
connection. However, she may be a freed slave, since no "free white males" or "free
white females" are listed under her entry, but instead, six "other free persons except
Indians not taxed".

The last census with a listing for David is the 1820 Virginia census. At that time he
was still living in Buckingham County. Aside from David and his wife, the census
record lists two "free white males", age 26-44, and one "free white female" under 10
years of age. One of the unidentified males could have been David R. Sudbury, who
would have been 30 years of age in 1820. The identity of the other young man, and
the young girl, however, seem to be a complete mystery. Was the girl possibly a
daughter of David R. Sudbury or William W. Sudbury?

David and his wife probably died between 1820 and 1830, since there is no reference to
them in the latter census. However, the Sudbury family did not disappear entirely from
Buckingham County. There is an entry in the 1840 census index for a woman named
Frances Sudberry, who also appears in the 1850 census, with her surname spelled
"Sudsberry". The 1850 census index covering Buckingham County includes an entry
for William Sudsberry. These entries should be investigated to ascertain the ages of
Frances and William. It is almost certain that they are in some way connected to the
family of David Sudbury.

JOHN SUDBURY (Ca. 1750-1808) was, like his brother David, probably born in Ches-
terfield County, Virginia, sometime between 1747 and 1758 (when he and his siblings
were apprenticed, as "orphans", to Jane Hales). Not much else is known about his
early life, except that as a young man he served for a time with "John Murray's
Company of Volunteers from Botetourt". Glenn Boyd cites a record dated September
10, 1774, as evidencing this military(?) service.

We also know that John was living in Amelia County at the time of the first census of
the United States. In 1782 he is shown as the head of a household consisting of four
whites and five blacks. In 1785 he is listed as the head of a family of five "white
souls" (no count of blacks is given).

The 1787 census of Virginia shows John still living in Amelia County, but doesn't give
any statistics about his family except that there were no white males between the ages
of 16 and 21 living with him. The 1787 census does indicate that he had eight slaves,
and that he owned three horses and ten head of cattle. At that time, he must have been
a farmer with some significant land holdings.

John's wife's name was SALLY. The date and place of their marriage is unknown. It
does not appear that they were married in Amelia County, since no reference to their
marriage appears in the book Marriages of Amelia County, Virginia 1735-1815.
However, John was either a witness or surety with respect to four of the marriages
listed in that book, occurring in the years 1790, 1796, 1801 and 1807. One of these
marriages, on April 6, 1796, was that of his daughter, who was also named Sally.
John appears on the Amelia County tax list for the year 1800. He and his son, John
Jr., are the only Sudburys that appear on this list. The list focuses on taxable assets,
and it tells us only that John was the sole male in his household over the age of 21, and
that he owned two slaves and two horses.

John apparently died in Amelia County around October 27, 1808. He is the subject of
an entry for that date in a compilation of Amelia County wills for the period 1734-
1811. The entry lists his family members as being his wife Sally, his son John, his
daughter Sally and her children, and his grandson John Sudbury, son of John Jr.

WILLIAM SEINIIIRY_was, like his brothers David and John, probably born between
1747 and 1758 to Ezekiel Sr.'s second wife, Anne. The only known records of his
childhood and adolescence are the 1758 reference to him and his siblings being bound
as apprentices by the local churchwardens, and an additional record, cited by Glenn
Boyd as referencing a further apprenticeship.

William and his brothers David and John would appear to have been the right age to
have fought in the Revolutionary War. However, despite the oral tradition passed
down to Nancy Sudbury Yates (and from Nancy to Valdo Yates Smith) that one of
Nancy's greatgrandfathers fought in the Revolutionary War, the sources listing
Revolutionary War veterans for the state of Virginia do not mention any Sudburys.
William's marriage on July 29, 1784, to_FRANCES DUNNAVANT, is listed in the
book Marriages of Amelia County, Virginia 1735-1815. The record reveals the
interesting fact that Frances was not "given away" by anyone, but instead "wrote her
own consent" to be married. The marriage was witnessed by John Wyley and Clark H.
(last name unknown). Samuel Booker served as surety.

There is also an entry for William in the 1787 Virginia census for Amelia County
(district of George Booker, Tax Commissioner) which simply indicates that a man
named John Archer, Sr. was "charged with" William's tax. Whether this means that
William was a laborer working for Mr. Archer, or that he was somehow disabled, is
unknown. Although it seems that William was not a landowner in 1787, he almost
certainly was by the late 1790s. Glenn Boyd writes of Nottoway County tax records
listing William dated May 12, 1796, May 18, 1797, May 24, 1798, and May 29, 1799.

William apparently died in the year 1800. Glenn Boyd cites an unidentified record
from Nottoway County dated August 11, 1800, which refers to Frances Dunnavant
Sudbury as administratrix of the estate of William Sudbury, deceased. Use of the term
"administratrix" in this context means that William unfortunately died without a will.
Glenn lists an additional record from 1809 indicating that Frances was granted
administration of William's estate, but the date seems clearly wrong, since it is nine
years distant from the earlier reference to William's estate.

Frances Sudbury survived her husband by more than twenty years. According to Glenn
Boyd, Frances's name appears in Nottoway County tax records for the years 1809,
1810, 1814, 1815, 1817, and 1818. Information about Frances can also be garnered
from the U.S. census records for Nottoway County. An entry from 1810 shows her as
one of two women in her household over the age of 45, with five children (two boys
and three girls). The 1820 census record lists, in addition to'Frances, one "free white
male" aged 18-26, two "free white females" aged 16-26, and two "free white females"
under 10 years of age. While the two young women could have been born before
1800, and thus could be Frances's daughters, and the young man, born no earlier than
1794 might possibly be William D. Sudbury, the only one of Frances's known sons
who doesn't have his own separate entry in the 1820 census, the identity of the two
little girls is a complete puzzle.

Glenn Boyd supplies the record which gives the approximate date of Frances's death.
This unidentified source, dated January 1, 1824, recites that administration of Frances
Sudbury's estate was granted to her oldest son, Shadrack Sudbury. Most likely she
died in late 1823.

As far as Frances's ancestry is concerned, more census work needs to be done. Entries
for Hezeldah Dunnavant (head of a family of seven "white souls") and Philip
Dunnavant (two white souls) appear in the First Census of the United States, Amelia
County, Virginia (1782), in the list of the same census taker as recorded the entry for
John Sudbury. Entries for the following "heads of families" appear in the First Census
of the United States, Amelia County, Virginia (1785): Hodge Dunnavant (eleven white
souls), Philip Dunnavant (three white souls), Abner Dunnavant (three white souls),
Estate of Nowell Dunnavant, and Clement Dunnivant (six white souls). Could it be that
Nowell Dunnavant, who apparently died in 1784 or 1785, was Frances's father, and
that she gave her "own consent" to be married as a result of his death or incapacity at
the time of her marriage to William in 1784? Perhaps there might be a will for Nowell
Dunnavant in the Amelia County records.

Unfortunately, we may never know the names of all of William and Frances's three
daughters or their husbands, if any (although there is strong reason to believe that Mary
Polly Sudbury was one of the daughters). Hampering our ability to research these
individuals is the destruction of records that occurred in Nottoway County, where
William's children were raised and, most likely, got married. If marriage records
existed for that period of time in Nottoway County, the names of his daughters would
probably be available to us. Carol McGinnis, in her book Virginia Genealogy:
Sources & Resources, explains the tragedy of the missing records as follows:

During the last week of the Civil War, Federal soldiers "ransacked the [Nottoway
County Clerk's] office, hacking the record books with their sabers and throwing
the mutilated volumes into the horse trough on the square." Three deed books
were destroyed or lost; several of the early order books were badly mutilated, as
were another deed book and a will book. Marriage records [up to 1856] also
were destroyed.

WILLIAM WILSON SUDBURY was born in Virginia in 1780. His ancestor, Robert
Martin McBride, gives the place of his birth as Amelia County. Robert is also the
source for William's middle name. According to Robert, William married ONA
RUDD on May 7, 1807, in Prince Edward County, Virginia. The following inform-
ation about Ona and her family is quoted from Robert's history entitled The McBride
Family of Rutherford County, Tennessee:

Ona ("Oney") Rudd was born in Prince Edward County in 1782 or 1783. She
was the daughter of JOHN RUDD, JR. and his wife, AGNES CLARKE, who
were married in Prince Edward County on April 30, 1782. Her paternal grand-
father was JOHN RUDD, SR., who died in Chesterfield County in 1791, leaving
his wife, ONEY and several children. Her maternal grandfather was JESSE
CLARKE, of Chesterfield County.

A great-grandson of Ona Rudd Sudberry stated that the Rudd family were of Irish
ancestry and that they settled on the James River during the Revolutionary War.
Some of the Rudd family came to Tennessee. In 1836, Shadrack Rudd and John
C. Rudd were living in the 15th District of Williamson County, Tennessee.

Robert McBride's history also contains the following valuable information about
William and Ona's married life:

William W. and Ona Rudd Sudberry lived in Prince Edward County from the
time of their marriage until after 1830, and all of their children were born there.
About 1837 they removed to Tennessee and settled in the 12th District [Salem-
Windrow] and lived near there the rest of their lives. William died between 1860
and 1870. Ona lived thereafter in the 5th District of Bedford County with her
oldest son [John]. She lived to the age of 101 years, which places the date of her
death as 1883.

A comparative examination of the census records of Prince Edward County,
Virginia (1810-1830) and of Rutherford County, Tennessee (1840-1880) shows
that William and Ona Sudberry had nine children, three sons and six daughters.
The three older children may have married before 1837 and remained in Virginia.
The six younger children came with their parents to Tennessee, and of these six
we have records of five. They were [John, Susan, Patrick, Mary and Mariah].

At this point, the identity of William's father remains a subject of speculation. Of the
four Sudbury brothers of the "Second Generation", Ezekiel, David, John, and William,
Ezekiel (entry 11) can be eliminated as being too old to be William's father, and John
(entry 15) apparently had no male children other than his son, John. William (entry
16) was the father of William D. Sudbury (entry 163), and it follows that William W.
Sudbury would not also be his son on account of the identical first names. Moreover,
William (entry 16) was not married until 1784, whereas William W. was born in 1780.

That leaves David (entry 14). Geographically, David's residence in Powhatan County
is closer to William W. 'S early home in Prince Edward County than were the homes of
the other "Second Generation" brothers. Furthermore, census information shows that
David had a family of six individuals in 1783, which could have included William W.,
in addition to David's daughters, Jane and Martha. It appears likely to the author of
this history that William W. was David's son.

Although Robert McBride identifies John Sudbury (entry 15) as William W. Sudbury's
father, Robert cites no evidence to support this conclusion. The author hopes someday
to have an opportunity to discuss this issue further with one of William W. 's ancestors
who is knowledgeable about genealogical matters.

DAVID R. SUDBURY was born about 1790 in Virginia. He is known to us only
through an 1850 census record for William J. Sudbury, who may have been his son.
The census record, for Williamson County, Tennessee, shows David, age 60, living
with William and his family. The supposition that David is the son of David Sudbury
(entry 14) derives from the correspondence of their first names, and also from the fact
that the entries for the elder David Sudbury in 1810 and 1820 each list an unidentified
white male born during a range of years which includes 1790, the birth year of David
R. Sudbury.
It is not impossible that David might have been the son of William Sudbury (entry 16).
The year 1790 would have been between the birth years of William's second son,
Ezekiel, and his third son, William D. Sudbury. Also, the census record for William
J. Sudbury shows David R. to have been living in Williamson County, Tennesee,
where all of the elder William Sudbury's sons ended up settling.

JOHN SUDBURY appears with his father in the Amelia County tax list for the year

of 21, and that he had no slaves, but owned two horses. Since he was over 21 in 1800,
it follows that he was born sometime before 1779. No reference to John has so far
been located in the indexes for subsequent Virginia censuses, although he is referenced
in his father's will dated July 17, 1808, together with his own son John.

SHADRACK R. SUDBURY (1786-1859) was a patriarchal figure and landowner
reminiscent of his grandfather Ezekiel. Both acquired extensive landholdings over a
period of years, probably with a great deal of hard work. Each suffered the loss of his
first wife, and went on to marry and have additional children with a second wife.

One uncertainty about Shadrack is the date of his birth. Gladys Sudbury Alison gives
the date as September 28, 1786, but the accuracy of Gladys' information in this regard
is subject to question, since she also states that he was born at sea, en route to
America, while it is clear that he was born in Amelia County, Virginia. However,
some support for the birthdate of late 1786 is given by the 1850 Tennessee census, in
which Shadrack is listed as being 73 years of age.

It is interesting to speculate why William and Frances would name their first son
Shadrack, and their second son Ezekiel. It might have been expected that the name
"Ezekiel", after William's father, would have been given to their first born son. Was
"Shadrack" also a family name, perhaps that of William's grandfather, or Frances's
father or grandfather? Glenn Boyd has also done some thinking about this subject, and
writes:

One speculation I have just come across about Shadrack's name is that there was a
Shadrack Dunnivant contemporary with Shadrack Sudbury. Was this his maternal
grandfather or maybe an uncle? Certainly it would make sense to have the first
son named after Frances's father (Shadrack), the second son named after
William's father (Ezekiel) and then the third son named after William (William
D.).

Another question about Shadrack is the spelling of his first name. Sources for the
spelling which would be expected to be somewhat reliable, namely his will and
headstone, give different spellings. Whereas his will appears to record his name as
"Shadrach", the spelling on his headstone is "Shadrack". Although the author of this
history is not entirely convinced that "Shadrach" is not the proper spelling, the prepon-
derance of available sources seem to spell the name with a "k", and that will therefore
be the spelling used here.

The earliest discovered record of Shadrack's existence is the 1820 census index for
Virginia, where he is listed as living in Nottoway County. (The census record
underlying this entry needs to be looked up.) By 1822, when his first child, Jeremiah,
was born, Shadrack had married a woman named whose last name we
do not know. In 1825, a second son, John, was born to Shadrack and Elizabeth.

In late 1829 or early 1830, Shadrack and his family left Virginia and migrated to
Tennessee, where they settled in Williamson County, near Nashville. (Glenn Boyd
says Shadrack is listed in a Buckingham County, Virginia deed book, in an entry dated
November 23, 1829. Most likely the entry reflects Shadrack's sale of his property in
preparation for his move to Tennessee.) Shadrack was probably joined in his migration
to Tennessee by his younger brother, William D. Sudbury. Shadrack and William are
the only Sudburys listed in the index to the 1830 Tennessee census.

Following the 1830 census, the next public record in which Shadrack's name appears is
related to his brother William's death in early 1836. After William died, an estate sale
of his personal property was held, and purchases by approximately 50 individuals are
recorded. Shadrack is one of three Sudbury family members listed among the
purchasers. He bought, among other things, a workbench and grindstone, an oil stone,
a compass, and a tub.

Shadrack's wife, Elizabeth, died on August 1, 1838, according to the book Early
Obituaries of Williamson County, Tennessee, by Louise Gillespie Lynch. The following year, on October 31, 1839, Shadrack remarried. His new bride, SUSANNAH
POYNOR, was also from Virginia, having been born there in 1801. A daughter,
Sarah, was born to Shadrack and Susannah in 1843.

Shadrack and his family apparently remained in Williamson County until about 1848,
when they relocated to Dyer County in western Tennessee, near what is now the town
of Friendship, in Crockett County. Over the next ten years, Shadrack acquired at least
275 acres of land, on part of which he operated a mill. He also had a partnership
interest in a ginning and carding factory. These business ventures are briefly
mentioned in his will. Some of the labor for these operations was undoubtedly supplied
by the numerous slaves Shadrack owned. Gladys Sudbury Alison's history lists the
names of his slaves: Monroe, Mary and two children, Lucinda and Tom; Jane and
child Philip; Marion, Jeff, Eliza, Parthena and her four children, Rebecca, Mary, Mark
and Jim; Charles, Azey and her two children, Ann and Luke; Nancy, Sally and Bytha.

As the 1850s drew to a close, Shadrack's health declined until he was, as he stated in
his will, "sound of mind but frail in body". According to Gladys Sudbury Alison's
history, Shadrack died on May 18, 1859, at the age of 73. He is buried in the Mt.
Zion Cemetery east of Friendship, Tennessee, and his gravesite and tall white
headstone can still be visited today. (To reach the cemetery, take the Friendship-Eaton
Road east from downtown Friendship, past old Highway 20. After a short drive, the
road forks. Take the left fork until it crosses Mt. Zion Road. Turn right on Mt. Zion,
which curves around to the left and into the cemetery.)

Shadrack's will is dated February 28, 1857, with a codicil having been executed on
May 10, 1859, eight days before his death. In his will, Shadrack left his real and
personal property to his three children, but bequeathed to his "beloved wife Susan" a
life estate in the property. Gladys Sudbury Alison's history refers to a quitclaim deed
dated October 3, 1859, by which Susan relinquished her life estate to Shadrack's

children in exchange for their promise to pay her an annuity of $300.00 per year for
the rest of her life.

The date and place of Susan's death are unknown at this time. Although she is listed in
the 1860 census as living alone somewhere in Dyer County, she does not appear in the
1870 Tennessee census. Sudbury family tradition holds that Susan's only child, Sarah
Sudbury Farmer, and her husband eventually left Tennessee to settle in Arkansas.
Research may reveal that Susan joined them there.

EZE1CIEL SUDBURY (1788-1865), the third Sudbury to bear the name "Ezekiel", was
born in Amelia County to William Sudbury and his wife Frances. His own family
Bible (transcription by Joyce Poynor, referred to in this history as the "Ezekiel Sudbury
Bible") lists his birthdate as April 5, 1788. The date of his marriage to CATHERINE
FAGG is recorded in the Ezekiel Sudbury Bible as June 7, 1810. Catherine had been
born on June 28, 1788. According to information reproduced in Joyce Poynor's
History, Catherine may have been the daughter of JOHN FAGG, of Nottoway
County, Virginia, a "continental soldier of the 11th and 15th Virginia Regiments".

U.S. census records for 1810 show Ezekiel and Catherine as married and living in
Nottoway County, Virginia. They were still living in Nottoway County at the time of
the 1820 census. In addition to an unidentified male aged 10-16 living with them at
that time, the census record for 1820 lists two girls and one boy under the age of ten,
undoubtedly Ezeldel's daughters, Nancy and Elizabeth, and son William. (According
to the Ezekiel Sudbury Bible, two girls who died in infancy were also born to Ezekiel
and Catherine in 1811 and 1815.)

Sometime after 1820, Ezekiel and his family migrated from Virginia to Williamson
County, Tennessee. The date of this move is somewhat uncertain. Although the
author of this history has not located Ezekiel in the 1830 Tennessee census with his
brothers Shadrack and William, Glenn Boyd says he has discovered an entry for
Ezekiel in 1830, along with tax records for Ezekiel in Williamson County, Tennessee
for the years 1831-1833. The memorial marker for Ezekiel in the Sudbury family
cemetery near Burwood, Tennessee, states that he came to Tennessee in 1820.
However, the source of the information on the marker is unknown. The author of this
history believes that Ezekiel most likely came to Tennessee in late 1829 or early 1830
along with Shadrack and William.

The 1840 census entry for Ezekiel in Williamson County, Tennessee, indicates that he
had five young males and one young female living with him and his wife. Two of the
males were between the ages of 20 and 30. One of these was probably Ezekiel's son,
William, but the identity of the other remains unknown. The other three young males
fell into the age groupings 15-20, 10-15, and 5-10. The younger two were probably
Ezekiel's sons Abner and George, but the identity of the young man between 15 and 20
is uncertain. The age range of the girl listed as living in Ezekiel's household is given
as 10-15. This is almost certainly his daughter, Sophia.

Oddly, Ezekiel does not appear in the 1850 census index for Tennessee. However, he
is listed in the 1860 index (still in Williamson County), at age 72, with his name
misspelled as "Elizakel". The other members of his household at that time were his
wife Catherine, age 71, and his daughter, Sophia, age 32.

Joyce Poynor's History (page 137) gives information relating to Ezekiel copied from a
deed book in the Williamson County Courthouse in Franklin, Tennessee. The entry in
question appears to be dated May 10, 1855, and describes some sort of conveyance of
real property involving Ezekiel Sudbury III and Nathan Meacham. The property
consisted of 53i acres of land in District 2, at the "headwaters of Leipers Fork".

The Ezekiel Sudbury Bible gives the date of Ezekiel's death as May 28, 1865.
According to the same source, Catherine died on March 5th of the following year.
They may be buried in the Sudbury family cemetery near Burwood, where a memorial
marker can be found bearing their names. (For directions to the cemetery, see entry
1626 for Abner W. Sudberry.)

WILLIAM D. SUDBURY was born in Nottoway County, Virginia, in the year 1790,
or shortly thereafter. Glenn Boyd speculates that William may have been the boy born
between 1794 and 1800 who is listed with his mother, Frances Sudbury, in the 1810
U.S. census for Nottoway County. The earliest public record under William's own
name is an entry in the 1815 tax list for Nottoway County, cited by Glenn Boyd. In
this record, William is listed as possessing one slave, two horses, and twelve cattle.

According to Nancy Montgomery, who cites an unidentified source, William married
SALLY CRIDDLE on July 3, 1820. Glenn Boyd suggests that the marriage took
place in Williamson County, and that William was about 25 years old, while Sally was
age 29.

The only definite listing for William yet discovered in any census records is found in
the 1830 U.S. census for Tennessee. He appears as one of only two Sudburys living in
Tennessee at that time. The other Sudbury listed in the 1830 census is William's
brother, Shadrack. Both men were living in Williamson County in close proximity to
each other.

The data in the 1830 census record confirms that William and his wife, Sally, were
born between 1790 and 1800. Four other individuals were living with William at the
time of the 1830 census, including two young boys, one between the ages of 5 and 10,
and the other under 5 years of age. These were probably William's sons, Patrick and
James. Also living with William and his wife were a young man between 20 and 30
years of age (born 1800-1810), and a girl between 15 and 20 years old (born 1810-
1815). Glenn Boyd offers the following ideas about the identity of these last two
individuals:

The unknown female born 1810-1815 could be a daughter of William from an
earlier unknown marriage. Perhaps more likely, this could be the daughter of his
wife, Sally, from a previous unknown marriage of hers. The presence of a male
born 1800-1810 makes it unlikely that both are children of William, but they
could both be children of Sally from a previous marriage as she is about four
years older than William and could have had a son in her late teens and a
daughter in her early twenties. Then, perhaps, Sally's married name was Criddle,
and her maiden name is as yet unknown. The children would be named Criddle
as well, but nothing is known of them from William's estate in 1835. Perhaps the
name "Criddle" should be looked up in 1840 and 1850.

There is a Frances Sudbury (born 1815) in Virginia that may be the female in the
1830 census. Still, then, is unresolved whether this might be William's daughter
or perhaps Sally's daughter adopted by William. The entry for William's mother,
Frances, in the 1820 Virginia census lists a male born 1794-1804 which could be
William. Also listed are two females born 1810-1820, both of whom could be
daughters of William. Since no male child is listed, the likelihood increases that
the male listed in 1830 is a child of Sally, not of William. The best guess at the
moment is that the male born 1800-1810 is a son of Sally Criddle and is probably
named Criddle. The female born 1810-1815 is most likely Frances Sudbury, a
daughter of William from a previous marriage.

One interesting fact about William was that he at one time pursued a military career.
According to a document obtained by Nancy Montgomery from the Tennessee State
Archives, he was a Captain in the 44th Regiment of the Tennessee Militia. Glenn Boyd
says that William received his commission as a Captain in 1825 in Williamson County.
William appears on the Williamson County tax rolls for five consecutive years from
1831-1835. The listings identify him as the owner of 51 acres of land on or near Hayes
(or Hays?) Creek.

An obituary in the January 1, 1836, edition of the Western Weekly Review, quoted by
Nancy Montgomery from the book Early Obituaries of Williamson County, Tennes-
see, states that William died on December 22, 1835. On February 27, 1836, an estate
sale of William's personal property was held. In addition to his brother Shadrack, two
other Sudburys, Sally and another William, were purchasers at the sale. Sally made
significant purchases, including many items of furniture. Was this Sally, who made so
many purchases, William's widow? If so, why did she have to buy from her own
husband's estate? These questions remain unanswered. The sale yielded a sum of
money which appears to be $561.07.

MARY POLLY SUDBURY is known to us today through the record of her marriage,
set forth in Marriages of Williamson County, Tennessee 1804-1850, by Edythe Rucker
Whitley. Whitley indicates that Mary and RUFFIN BROWN were married on August
17, 1837, by Gilbert Marshall, Justice of the Peace. No bondsman is listed.

Mary's presence in Williamson County at the time when the families of Shadrack
(entry 161), Ezekiel (entry 162) and the late William D. Sudbury (entry 163) were
entrenched in that area strongly suggests a family connection. However, she is not the
daughter of either Shadrack or Ezekiel, and is probably too old to be the daughter of
William D. (although that remains an outside possibility, if he had an earlier marriage).
Nor does she seem to be the daughter of William W. Sudbury (entry 144), who was
living in nearby Rutherford County in 1840. William W. had a daughter by the name
of Mary E. Sudbury (entry 1443), who married William T. Sudbury (entry 1623) in
1840.

A key link to the three brothers, Shadrack, Ezekiel and William D., is supplied by the
record of William D. 's estate sale, discussed in greater detail under entry 163 above.
Scrutiny of that document reveals that one of the purchasers at the sale, held on
February 27, 1836, was Ruffin Brown, who became Mary's husband the following
year. He bought a plow and another unidentified item. Williamson County census
records from 1830 also show Ruffin Brown living on a parcel of land in very close
proximity to both Shadrack and William D. Sudbury.

Two other census records are worth considering in this context. We know that Frances
Dunnavant Sudbury, mother of Shadrack, Ezekiel and William D., had three daughters
listed in her entry under the 1810 Virginia census. We also know in the Virginia
census of 1820, two "free white females" between the ages of 16 and 26 were living
with Frances. Was Mary one of Frances's three daughters? Given the other connecting information, it seems very likely to the author of this history that Mary was
indeed a daughter of Frances, and that she migrated with one or more of her three older
brothers to Tennessee sometime around 1830.

There is a lot of uncertainty about Mary's life following her marriage to Ruffin Brown.
We know from 1820 and 1830 census records for Williamson County that Ruffin was
considerably older than Mary, and had a prior marriage. The fact that he does not
appear in the Tennessee census records for 1840, and that Mary seemingly appears in
the 1840 census for Williamson County under the name Mary Brown, as head of
household, strongly suggests that Ruffin was by that time deceased.

The 1840 census entry for Mary Brown lists two women aged 40-50 and one girl aged
10-15. What appears to be the same Mary Brown is also listed in the 1850 Tennessee
census. The 1850 entry gives her age as 49 (the census survey was probably taken a
little early) and her place of birth as Virginia. Listed with her are a young woman,
Rebecca Brown, age 19 (probably the girl from the 1840 census), and a boy, Isaac
Brown, age 7.

The identity of these two young people is problematic. If this Mary Brown is the one
that married Ruffin Brown, then Rebecca predates that marriage, and Isaac postdates
Ruffin's apparent decease before 1840. Rebecca could be Ruffin's daughter from his
first marriage, but what about Isaac? One or both may have been Ruffin's grand-
children, since he had a son born 1804-1810 who would have been old enough to sire
them. Further research is warranted in this regard.

A final note on Mary's middle name. Glenn Boyd writes that the "P" stands for
"Polly", although the original source of this information remains unknown to the
author of this history.

JOHN L. SUDBURY was born in Prince Edward County, Virginia, in 1812. His
family migrated from Virginia to Rutherford County, Tennessee sometime after
1820. On September 25, 1838, John married SARAH WOOD in Rutherford
County. Sarah had been born in Tennessee in 1820.

John is one of only four Sudburys listed in the 1840 Tennessee census index, where
he is shown living in Robertson County (apparently a mistake for Rutherford County)
on a parcel of land next to his father. John's age in the 1840 census is listed as
between 20 and 30, while his wife, Sarah, falls into the 15-20 category. Their first
daughter, also named Sarah, is listed as under 5 years old.

In the 1850 Tennessee census index, John is listed with a middle initial "M", which
appears to be a mistake, since the 1840 and 1870 censuses give his middle initial as
"L". There is ample reason to believe that the John L. of the 1840 census and the
John M. of the 1850 census are the same individual. The John of the 1850 census is
also shown to be living on a parcel of land in Rutherford County adjacent to William
W. Sudbury, and the ages of his wife and first child match (with enough accuracy)
the categories of the 1840 census. The 1850 census lists John at age 38, his wife
Sarah at age 31, and the following children: Sarah F. (age 10), John H. (age 9),
Elizabeth R. (age 7), Mary T. (age 5), Martha A. (age 4), and Charles R. (age 3
months). A birthplace of Tennessee is listed for John's wife, Sarah.

Although there is no entry for John in the 1860 census index, an entry for him (age
58) appears in the 1870 census index in Bedford County, which is situated directly
south of Rutherford County. About John's later years, Robert Martin McBride
writes:

John L. Sudberry and his family lived until after 1870 in the 9th and 5th districts
of Bedford County. Their home was about one mile north of the village of
Longview. On that property (now owned by a Mrs. Boyce) is an old graveyard,
identified on maps as being the "Sudberry Cemetery". It contains a number of
old graves, either unmarked or with illegible inscriptions, and a number of
marked graves. This spot is probably the resting place of William and Ona
Sudberry, his parents.

John and his wife Sarah had a total of ten children. Robert McBride observes that
most of these children eventually migrated to Texas.

Robert McBride. Robert spells the last name of this branch of the family as
"Sudberry", and since that is the spelling these family members themselves appear to
use, I will follow that spelling beginning with members of the Fifth Generation.

PATRICK HENRY SUDBURY was born in Prince Edward County, Virginia, in
1817. According to Robert McBride, Patrick moved with his parents to Rutherford
County, Tennessee, about 1837. He is the right age to have been the one unidentified
son listed as living with his father, William W. Sudbury, in the 1840 Tennessee
census index. On May 17, 1843, in Rutherford County, Patrick married SARAH
SMOTHERMAN. Sarah had been born in Rutherford County in 1822. She was the
daughter of JOHN G. SMOTHERMAN and NANCY WILLIAMS. Robert
McBride says that the marriage of Patrick and Sarah was part of a double ceremony
in which Patrick's sister, Mariah (entry 1445), married Sarah's brother, Bartholomew
Smotherman.

In the 1850 Tennessee census, Patrick is listed at age 33, along with Sarah, age 23,
and their son William, age 2. At that time they were living on a parcel of land in
Rutherford County very close to Patrick's parents. Although there is no 1860 census
listing for Patrick, there is a listing in the 1870 Tennessee census index for a "Patrick
Sudbury", age 56, living in Rutherford County. Despite the three-year age discrepancy between the Patrick listed in the 1850 census and the Patrick listed in the
1870 census, there is good reason to believe that they are the same person. First of
all, they are both listed as living in Rutherford County. Secondly, there is an entry in
the 1870 census index for a "William Sudbury", age 22, living on a parcel of land
next to Patrick. This William is the exact age that Patrick's son William would have
been according to the 1850 census entry.

Robert McBride recounts the following interesting facts about Patrick's life:

Patrick Henry Sudberry and his family lived in the 14th district of Rutherford
County. His home, since burned and replaced by another structure, lay about a
mile south of the village of Link, and directly across the road from Lebanon
Methodist Church. It is noted that Patrick Henry Sudberry donated the land on
which "Old Leb" Church stands. In the absence of Episcopal churches in rural
Tennessee, the Sudberry family invariably, it seems, became Methodists.

Patrick Henry Sudberry and his brother-in-law, Bartholomew Smotherman, as
well as being farmers, were partners as blacksmiths -- the 19th century equivalent
of the "super service-station". They prospered and were men of some local
prominence and affluence.

Patrick H. Sudberry lived in the Link community for the rest of his life. He died
about 1897 (his estate was settled in 1898). His wife died a year later. He and
his wife are buried in a family graveyard about two miles northeast of his home.

This cemetery is on the Williams farm, which once belonged to William
Williams, a first cousin of Mrs. Sudberry's. The graveyard has been unattended
for many years and, although there are perhaps a hundred graves there, none have
legible inscriptions on the markers.

CONFEDERATE TENNESSEE TROOPS
47th Regiment, Tennessee Infantry

Overview: 47th Infantry Regiment completed its organization in December 16, 1861, at Camp Trenton, Gibson County, Tennessee. The men were from the counties of Obion, Gibson, and Dyer. For a time it remained at Camp Trenton, then was involved in the conflicts at Shiloh and Richmond.

Reorganized May 8, 1862; and later it was attached to P.Smith's, Vaughan's, and Palmer's Brigade, and during October, 1862, consolidated with the 12th Regiment. The unit participated in the campaigns of the Army of Tennessee from Murfreesboro to Atlanta, endured Hood's winter operations in Tennessee, and fought its last battle at Bentonville. It sustained 67 casualties at Shiloh, 32 at Richmond, and more than thirty percent of the 263 engaged at Murfreesboro. The 47th reported 87 killed and wounded at Chickamauga, and the 12th/47th totalled 373 men and 220 arms in December, 1863. Only a remnant surrendered in April, 1865. The field officers were Colonels Munson R. Hill and William M. Watkins, Lieutenant Colonels W.E. Holmes and Vincent G. Wynne, and Major Thomas R. Shearon.

Formed part of Company "D", 2nd Consolidated Tennessee Infantry Regiment. Paroled at Greensboro, North Carolina May 2, 1865.

The regiment remained at Camp Trenton, unattached to any brigade, until just before the Battle of Shiloh, April 6-7, 1862. The action report for that engagement stated the 47th, unattached, arrived on the field April 7. No reports of its activity were found, but the West Tennessee Whig, of Jackson, Tennessee, dated April 25, 1862, published a list of casualties from the 47th Regiment in the Battle of Shiloh totaling five killed, 61 wounded, one missing, so the regiment must have done some fighting after its arrival.

On May 26, at Corinth, Mississippi, it was reported in Lieutenant General Leonidas Polk's Corps, Brigadier General Charles Clark's Division, Brigadier General Bushrod R. Johnson's Brigade, composed of the 12th, 13th, 22nd and 47th Tennessee Infantry Regiments, and Bankhead's Battery. On June 15 Brigadier General Preston Smith was reported in command of the brigade; June 30, Colonel R. M. Russell, with the 22nd Regiment merged into the 12th, and the 154th Senior Regiment added; but on July 8, General Preston Smith was again reported in command of the brigade, in Major General B. F. Cheat-ham's Division. These four regiments remained together for the rest of the war; first in Preston Smith's Brigade; later with Brigadier General Alfred J. Vaughan in command.

The regiment left Corinth May 29 for Tupelo, Mississippi where it remained until July 25. Company reports show much sickness in the regiment while at Tupelo. It left Tupelo via Mobile, and Chattanooga, for Knoxville, to join Major General E. Kirby Smith for his invasion of Kentucky. From Knoxville, it marched on foot, many of the men barefoot, over the Cumberland Mountains to Barbourville, to London, to Richmond, Kentucky, where it was engaged in the battle on August 30, 1862. Here the 47th reported eight killed, 24 wounded.

From Richmond it marched to Lexington, Paris, Cynthiana Frankfort, to Hays Pond, 30 miles from Cincinnati, Ohio; to Shelbyville, 28 miles from Louisville, Kentucky; to Perryville, where it was present but not engaged in the battle fought at that place on October 8, 1862. From Perryville it retreated through Harrodsburg, Kentucky, and Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, to Knoxville, where it took the railroad to Chattanooga. It left Chattanooga November 1, 1862, marching via Bridgeport, Alabama to Manchester, to Tulla-homa, to Murfreesboro, where it arrived December 5, 1862.

It did picket duty at LaVergne for about two weeks; returned to Murfreesboro December 22, and was engaged in the Battle of Murfreesboro. In this battle the 47th was commanded by Captain W. M. Watkins, and reported 86 casualties out of 263 engaged.

Following this battle, the regiment retreated to Shelbyville, arriving January 14, where it was on Provost Guard duty. On April 1, 1863, the l2th/47th was reported as one unit under Colonel T. H. Bell of the 12th Regiment, and from this time on the two regiments acted as one field unit, although separate muster rolls were maintained. It left Shelbyville June 27 for Tullahoma; left Tullahoma July 1 for Chattanooga, where it arrived July 7. Company reports describe this as a very fatiguing march, with heavy rain every day, and only half rations. On July 31, Colonel W. M. Watkins, of the 47th, was reported in command of the l2th/47th, and he remained in command until July, 1864.

On September 7, the regiment left Chattanooga for LaFayette, Georgia; to Rock Spring Church on the 14th; back to LaFayette on the 17th; crossed Chickamauga Creek on the 19th, and attacked the enemy in the Battle of Chickamauga, September 19-20, 1863. Here the 12th/47th reported the expenditure of 14,350 rounds of ammunition, and the loss of 87 killed and wounded, including two captains and three lieutenants killed.

Following the battle it remained in Chattanooga Valley until October 29, when it moved to Sweetwater, but returned to Missionary Ridge November 7, 1863, where the brigade was transferred to Major General T. C. Hind-man's Division. The regiment was engaged in the Battle of Missionary Ridge November 25, and retreated to Dalton, Georgia, where it arrived November 27, and went into winter quarters with no tents, and scanty rations. Crude shelters were erected, which were not as comfortable as they might have been made, "due to a shortage of axes." On December 14, the l2th/47th reported 281 effectives, 373 present, and 220 arms. On January 18, 1864, the 47th re-enlisted for the war, along with Strahl's Brigade, and the 13th and 154th Regiments, which moved General Hiudman to issue a proclamation, reading in part: "The spirit in which these brave men enlisted is an eloquent rebuke to the despondent.* * * With men who thus prefer duty to ease and comfort nothing is impossible in war.

On February 20, the brigade was transferred back to Cheatham's Division, where it remained for the duration. The regiment was part of an expedition which started to reenforce General Polk, in Mississippi. It left Dalton, Georgia, on February 16, reached Demopolis, Alabama, and was ordered back to Dalton. The last company report was dated aboard the train at Atlanta, Georgia, on February 29, where the regiment was awaiting shipment to Dalton. It stated "The men regretted the return to Dalton to eat poor beef and cornbread, having been assured by General Polk there was plenty of pork and bacon in the Confederacy if commissaries would do their duty."

No further details of regimental activities were found, but as part of Cheatham's Division, the regiment went through the Atlanta Campaign under General Joseph E. Johnston, the return to Tennessee under General John B. Hood, and the final move to North Carolina and the Battle of Bentonville, North Carolina.

On July 31, 1864, the 12/47th was reported commanded by Captain William S. Moore, of the 12th; on August 31, by Lieutenant Colonel Josiah N. Wyatt, of the 12th; on September 20, by Lieutenant Colonel V. C. Wynne, of the 47th; on December 10, by Captain C. N. Wade, of the 12th; and finally, at Smithfield, North Carolina on March 31, 1865, by Captain James R. Oliver of the 47th. On this date the llth/29th/12th/47th/l3th/51st/ 52nd/154th Tennessee Regiments were all consolidated into one unit under Captain Oliver.

In the final reorganization of General Joseph E. Johnston's Army April 9, 1865, the 47th was reported in the Second Consolidated Tennessee Infantry Regiment, under Lieutenant Colonel George W. Pease, composed of the llth/l2th/l3th/29th/47th/50th/51st/ 52nd/154th Tennessee Infantry Regiments. As part of this regiment it was paroled at Greensboro, North Carolina May 2, 1865.

_______________________________________________________________________
From the Valdo James Smith Research document, The Sudburys of Virginia and Tennessee.

JOHN B. SUDBURY was born about 1825 in Nottoway County, Virginia, the son of
Shadrack Sudbury and his first wife, Elizabeth. The first several years of John's life
were spent in Virginia. Glenn Boyd suggests that John's family was probably still
living there as late as November 23, 1829. In any event, John moved with his family
to Williamson County, Tennessee, sometime before the 1830 Tennessee census.

John spent the remainder of his childhood and adolescence in Williamson County. It
was there that on December 17, 1846, he married SUSAN E. JACKSON, who had
been born in Tennessee in 1825. The ceremony was performed by M.W. Gray,
minister of the Gospel, and John's brother, Jeremiah, served as bondsman. In a
document dated December 1846, transcribed by Glenn Boyd (presumably from the
personal collection of Helen O'Kelly), Shadrack Sudbury lists items of personal property he had given to John, perhaps as wedding gifts. These included a horse and
saddle, a rifle, and "one bed waying 44 lbs."

Between 1847 and 1850, John and Susan moved to Dyer County, Tennessee. Their
move probably coincided with John's father Shadrack's resettlement from Williamson
County to Dyer County in 1848. The listing for John and Susan in the 1850 census
index for Dyer County shows that they already had two children, Nancy (referred to
by her middle name, Elizabeth), age 2, and William, age 11 months. John and Susan
are shown in the 1860 census index for Dyer County with six children, including
Nancy E. (age 12), William H. (age 10), Milly E. (age 8), James (age 6), Robert
(age 4), and John W. (age 2). More information on John and Susan could probably
be obtained by looking up the census records for 1850 and 1860.

John's father, Shadrack, died in 1859, leaving John and his brother Jeremiah and
sister Sarah a reversionary interest in 275 acres of land which Shadrack owned, on
which Shadrack had operated a mill and a carding factory, among other things. On
October 3, 1859, John's stepmother, Susannah, gave Jeremiah, John, and Sarah's
husband, Benjamin Farmer, a quitclaim deed to her life estate in Shadrack's property,
in exchange for their agreement to make annual payments to her of $100.00 each.
The relationship between Jeremiah and John after Shadrack's death seems to have
involved some economic interdependence. Documents transcribed by Glenn Boyd
indicate that in January 1861, John sold Jeremiah four cords of wood, and worked six
days for his brother on the gin wheel and boiler, and sawing wood. Most of the total
payment of $6.50 was given in the form of "credit by lumber".

Late in 1861, John's life was disrupted by the Civil War. According to Glenn Boyd,
John was enrolled in the Confederate Army on December 8, 1861, in Dyer County,
by W.P. Rice, Justice of the Peace. He joined Company "B" of the 47th Tennessee
Infantry regiment at the rank of private. Glenn gives the following information about
John's regiment and his apparently brief military career:

[The 47th Tennessee Infantry] regiment was organized December 16, 1861, at
Camp Trenton, in Gibson County, Tennessee. Unattached to any brigade, the
regiment remained at Camp Trenton until just before the battle of Shiloh, April 6-
7, 1862. The 47th arrived on the [battlefield] on Monday, April 7.

In a Jackson, Tennessee newspaper [the West Tennessee Whig] dated April 25,
1862, a list of casualties from the 47th was published -- 5 killed, 61 wounded, 1
missing. It is highly likely that John B. Sudbury fought in the Battle of Shiloh
with the 47th. It is possible, how-ever, that he may have been at home in Dyer
County at this time. He is listed as "absent at home" or "absent sick" or "absent
without leave" on all of the roll sheets from May 1862 to April 1863, when he
was dropped from the roll for being absent.

Glenn Boyd observes that in the years after 1862, John appears to have been engaged
primarily in farming. Glenn has transcribed the following 1865 note from John to his
brother, Jeremiah: "Brother I have got a little cotton picked and I want some money.
I will send you what I have got picked if you will pay the money when I send the
cotton at 8 cents. October 7 /65 J.B. Sudbury."

Unfortunately, Jeremiah was killed in a mill accident in 1866, and with his death it
seems safe to say that one of the primary stabilizing forces in John's life was gone.
Over the next few years, John, in the words of Glenn Boyd, "ran up a considerable
debt and had to put up all his land and goods to cover it". By 1868, John had
apparently failed to make certain of the payments due his stepmother, Susannah,
under his contract for purchase of his share of her life estate in Shadrack's property.

On June 26, 1868, Susannah filed an Attachment Bill (No. 477) against John,
addressed to the Honorable John L. Williamson, Chancellor, presiding over the
Chancery Court for Dyer County in Dyersburg. In the Bill, which also named John's
children and certain transferees of John's property as defendants, Susannah sought to
have the Court seize and hold John's property until the dispute between them could
be settled. The Bill is a fascinating document, and is worth quoting in its entirety:

Your Complainant [Susannah Sudbury] respectfully represents and shows to your
Honor [Chancellor Williamson] that on the 3d day of October 1859, she sold to
John B. Sudbury and Benjamin F. Farmer her life interest in the real & personal
property of her late husband, Shadrack Sudbury, who died [in] 1859, leaving to
Complainant call of his real & personal property during her natural life or
widowhood, and at Complainant's death or marriage, the same to be divided
between his three children Jeremiah W. Sudbury, John B. Sudbury & Sarah
Frances Sudbury (now Farmer) wife of said Benjamin Farmer, and in
consideration of the deed executed by Complainant to them conveying the before
mentioned life estate which is here filed, marked Exhibit "A" as part of this bill
(which need not be copied) they each executed their several bonds by which they
bound themselves to pay to your Complainant, the sum of one hundred dollars
each annually, the first payment to be due the 1st of January 1860, and on the
same day of each succeeding, the like amount during her natural life.

Complainant states that by the terms of the before mentioned sale of her life
interest to the said parties as shown by said deed she reserved a lien on the
property conveyed to secure the payment of the said lien of one hundred each
annually, and further that afterwards the said Jeremiah Sudbury as executor to
said Shadrack Sudbury deceased filed a bill in this Honorable Court against John
B. Sudbury et al. for the purpose of dividing said property among the children of
the said deceased husband of the Complainant.

That at the January Term 1861 of said Court a final decree was rendered in the
cause, by which 91 1/3 acres of the land consigned free to J.W. Sudbury &
children & the title [vested?] in him and his children, according to the terms of
said [bill?], by which J.B. Sudbury had only a life estate, but a lien was also
reserved in the decree on said land in favor of Complainant to secure the payment
of the before mentioned annuity to Complainant.

She also states that the Bond executed to her by John B. Sudbury here filed
marked Exhibit "B" (which need not be copied) has not been complied with, and
that the sum for which he is thus bound has not been paid to Complainant
annually, and that a large sum of money is due her on said bond, [say?] between
six hundred and one thousand dollars remains due and unpaid, that Elizabeth
Yates, William H., Milly [Emeline?], James, Robert, John and Virginia are the
Christian names of the children of John B. Sudbury, and that they are minors,
that on the 3d day of December, 1867, the said John B. Sudbury did fraudulently
make a conveyance of the before mentioned land (on which Complainant has a
lien for the payment of said annuity) as well as part of a cotton gin and [press?],
hogs, mules, cattle and sheep, and a growing crop of cotton and corn, to the
Defendant, A.M. Roberts, for the ostensible purpose of securing the defendant
James B. Powell, the beneficiary in said deed of trust, a copy of which deed is
herewith filed marked Exhibit "C", made a part of this bill (but which need not
be copied), that said conveyance was fraudulent, and made for the purpose of
delaying Complainant from collecting her annuity, and to hinder and delay
creditors generally in the collection of their debts, and that the same contains
provisions which render it void upon its face.

In consideration of the premises, Complainant prays that John B. Sudbury,
William H. Sudbury, Milly E. Sudbury, James Sudbury, Robert Sudbury, John
Sudbury and Virginia Sudbury, be made parties defendant to this bill, the last
mentioned seven of whom are minors, as designated and described in the caption
thereof, that copy and [?] be issued to them requiring them to answer each and all
of the allegations in this bill, as if specially interrogated thereto (answer under
each being hereby waived) returnable to the august rules of this Court, that cost of
attachment, issue directing the land described in Exhibit "C" to be attached and
held subject to the order of this Court, that Guardian ad-litem to answer for the
minor defendants above named [sic], that at final hearing of this cause, your
Honor will decree said deed of trust to be void and of no force, and will direct the
lien of the Complainant to be enforced upon it, that your Honor will direct an
account to be taken [to] ascertain the amount due her, and that you will direct a
sale on a credit of seven months, of the land in question, or of so much of it as
may be necessary to pay Complainant the sums due her and for general relief your
Complainant will ever pray. This is the first application for writ of attachment.
-- Moss & Skeffington, Solicitors

It's a humble truth that there are two sides to every story, and at present the author of
this history does not have the benefit of John's response to Susannah's allegations.
However, the bill quoted above raises some interesting issues, and prompts some
speculation as to how John found himself in such an unpleasant situation. Clearly
John was not the businessman that his brother Jeremiah was. However, it seems odd
that the court decree of 1861 would have vested Jeremiah with free and clear title to
his share of the inherited land, while leaving John with only a life estate, for which
he was obligated to pay Susannah a substantial annuity. The Civil War undoubtedly
complicated John's financial life, with his brief service in the Army of Tennessee.

Susannah's lawsuit against John, which began in 1868, lasted almost nine years.
Glenn Boyd has indicated that more than 50 pages of documents related to this
proceeding are to be found in the Dyer County Courthouse in Dyersburg. Certainly
the dispute must have been a terrible emotional and financial drain on John and his
family. In any event, Glenn tells us that the Supreme Court of Tennessee on
February 13, 1877, brought an end to the lawsuit by issuing a decree that John's life
estate be sold. The sale in fact took place on May 7, 1877 (with an official report of
the sale being issued on August 8, 1877).

Within a few months after the sale of his property in May 1877, John and his wife
Susan, together with most of their children, left Tennessee for good and moved to
Milam County, Texas. John and Susan are listed as living in Milam County in the
records of the 1880 U.S. census, with three of their children, Millie, John W., and
Virginia, still at home. John is identified as a farmer, while Susan is said to have
been keeping house. (The property on which they were living at the time was
situated next to property occupied by Joseph Gabriel Sudbury and his wife, Jane.
Joseph (entry 1632-2) was the son of John's cousin, James Anthony Sudbury.) On
November 6, 1879, according to Glenn Boyd, John registered his cattle brand in
Milam County and listed his post office box as Rockdale. (The brand was "JBS",
with the J and B sharing the same vertical line.) By 1881, John had acquired some
land in the Rockdale area.

Although nothing further is really known about the lives of John and Susan in the
1880s, it is clear that by late 1888, John and Susan had died. This is indicated by a
deed, housed in the records of the Milam County courthouse in Cameron, evidencing
the purchase of John's land by his son, Robert J. Sudbury. The deed recites that
Robert has purchased the inherited interests of each of his siblings for the collective
sum of fifty dollars, and describes the land as follows:

The first tract being a part of the original A. Carter Sr. original [sic] survey contain
-ing 901A acres conveyed [Simon?] E. Sudbury by the deed of H. Tocket
bearing date 17th day of December 1878 and recorded in book E 1 vol. Record of
Deeds of Milam County Texas pp. 328 & 329. The other of said tracts being part
of Jose Leal 6 league survey containing 40 & 47/100 acres conveyed to J.B.
Sudbury by the deed of Mary E. Allbee and her husband Bernard Allbee bearing
date 29th day of August A.D. 1881 recorded in the records of Milam County
Texas in Vol. 9 on pages 41 & 42.

In addition to describing the nature and extent of John's land, and the date he
acquired the smaller 40-acre parcel, the deed raises some interesting questions. Who
was the "Simon E. Sudbury" who acquired the 90-acre parcel from H. Tocket in
1878? Was there actually some real (and to the author of this history unknown)
individual by that name? Or was it possibly an assumed name by which John sought
some anonymity from the inquiries of Tennessee creditors? Glenn Boyd is of the
opinion that the word which appears to be "Simon" is almost certainly "Susan",
John's wife, whose middle initial was "E".

Unfortunately, the burial places of John and Susan are unknown to us today. Glenn
Boyd's best guess is that they died and were buried in Milam County, near Rockdale,
possibly in the Sandy Creek Cemetery, in graves that are now unmarked.
