Sally's
great-great great-great Grandparents:
Humphrey Hudgins 1757 - 1822/3 | his parents
& 1776 Louisa Foster 1756 - 1820/22 | her parents
of Gloucester Co VA
& ca 1783 Gates County, North Carolina
This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!
Humphrey Hudgins and Louisa
Foster were married 9 Feb 1776 in Kingston Parish,
Gloucester County, Virginia.
Humphrey Hudgins came to
Gates County, NC around 1784 or 1783 from Gloucester County, VA. Humphreys birth is
recorded in Kingston Parish records as August 7, 1757 son of Humphrey Deggs Hudgins
1735 - 1796 and wife Joanna. He died between 23 Dec, 1822 & Feb Ct 1823.
Louisa Foster was born Nov. 2, 1756 daughter of John Foster Jr 1728-1784 & Rosanna who
had married in 1749. Louisa died sometime after the census was taken
in 1820 and before Humphrey wrote his will on the 23 Dec 1822.
In Wheeler's Sketches of North Carolina we find that Humphrey Hudgins in 1795 served in
the House of Commons and again in 1797serving continuously through 1812; again in 1815,
1816 & 1817; in 1819 he was the Senator from Gates Co.
I am placing Humphrey D Hudgins as a son
"by preponderance of evidence" that indicates that is who he
is.
Children of Humphrey Hudgins Jr
and
Louisa Foster: Gates Co, NC
the birth of Humphrey Hudgins, Jr and his marriage to Louisa Foster and the
birth of their child Rose are recorded in the Kingston Parish Register.
