----------
A close examination of who was where and when may no doubt help to clarify the travels of the William Hudson of 1880 Mound City, Pulaski Co., ILL. Knowing where and when his family occupied geographic space may also help to pinpoint crucial information and establish, along with DNA studies, a specific place of origin and parents of that same William.
The idea that he might have come to New Orleans, as a U.S. citizen working and traveling to England, and then traversed the Mississippi to scout out lands in the 1860's when another man from England is Pulaski Co., ILL and in Vanderburgh Co., IND. Then, returned to the larger Evansville to work and marry from about 1865 to 1875 before migrating into Pulaski Co., ILL. makes some sense.
His daughter Millie Hudson James, will answer to the census taker that her father was born "at sea", William will say "Virginia" and "England", and a grandson will have a middle name reflecting a ship a William Hudson sailed on in 1869.
It is an interesting idea to follow and since it also supplies some reasons for those census answers, it may be worth a closer look.
