Squeezed into the records for Alexander and Pulaski Co., Ill are two Hudson men to add to the mystery of the line I am actively researching, one Wm Hudson (ca1827-ca1888-1910).
Listed on the 1880 Cairo, Alexander Co., Il census is a man with his family living on 6th Street between Washington and Walnut.
The census lists them as "I.L. Hudson,58, b in Georgia, White, male, working on a cotton plantation". This appears to be Isaac B. Hudson, despite the initials.
His wife is listed as "Cora" but that is probably Carrie S. SAGE, 39 born Illinois
Children:
Hope Hudson, 8 b. Ill
Ruth Hudson, 6, b. Il
Isaac Hudson Jr., 3, b. Il
Robert W. Hudson, b. Il"
From records in Illinois Isaac B. Hudson married Carrie S. Sage 5 Jan 1871, Alexander Co., Il.
An Isaac Hudson left a will in Alexander Co., Il (Wills, Vol. A-C, 1850-1902)
A grave in Cairo City Cemetery, Villa Ridge, Pulaski Co., Il (the cemetery had to move to higher ground due to frequent flooding closer to Cairo) Robert W. Hudson died when he was 11 years old.
In that cemetery is an Isaac Hudson and a Carrie Hudson.
In that same cemetery is a JOHN HUDSON, b. 1852 and died 1902, and there is little information about him. He does not appear easily recognizable on a census record. There was a John Hudson, 49, African American in Pulaski Co., IL on 1870 census. His birth date was about 1821. Was this a son? Or is this an entirely different individual?
