A large group of Hudson's can be found on Illinois census records coming from Tennessee. One includes a William Hudson, born about 1825 but in Jackson Co., Tennessee. He is listed in Union County, Illinois, 1880 census with wife Margaret, children Alice C., James M., John R. and Walter Hudson. This William Hudson dies in 1891 and is buried in Union Co., Il.
Some databases and family trees have found a land record for Union Co., IL and have attempted to link it to the family of another William Hudson who is listed in Mound City, Pulaski Co., IL on that same 1880 census. They are not the same people. The Mound City appears to not have owned any land in Pulaski County and lived in Villa Ridge from about 1886 to 1896.
In addition, the group in Union Co., IL will often flip-flop between a HUDSON and a HUTSON spelling of their name. That, coupled with the Tennessee origins, appear to indicate no connections between the two.
