More information on Thomas Judd
Thomas Judd was the first of our line of Judd family who emigrated to America. He arrived only 13 years after the Mayflower and was thought to have been on the '47th' ship to America, the Gavin.
This Roots Web link has interesting information on Thomas and his descendants. Altha Judd, is thought to have been a descendant of Thomas. Two of her sons, Supplina and William McCord Hamilton are the fathers of most of the recent generations of Hamiltons recorded on this site. The Judd family name persists among the Hamilton's as a first name. The name Supplina also came into the Hamilton family from the Judd family heritage. (posted by Glen)

Here's a link to a picture on the Oregon State Library Photo Website of the Elgin to Wallowa stage coach in the era that Grandpa Judd Hamilton was a driver on it.

Scots-Irish - History in America
This is an interesting history of the ethic group known in America as the 'Scots-Irish.' ..."With the outbreak of the Revolution in 1775 the Scots-Irish, in interesting contrast to many of their Scottish cousins, were among the most determined adherents of the rebel cause. Their frontier skills were particularly useful in destroying Burgoyne's army in the Saratoga campaign; and George Washington was even moved to say that if the cause was lost everywhere else he would take a last stand among the Scots-Irish of his native Virginia. Serving in the British Army, Captain Johann Henricks, one of the much despised "Hessians", wrote in frustration "Call it not an American rebellion, it is nothing more than an Irish-Scotch Presbyterian Rebellion." It was their toughness, virility and sense of divine mission that was to help give shape to a new nation, supplying it with such diverse heroes as Davy Crocket and Andrew Jackson. "
