6. John Hudson, b.ca. 1799 at Bedford County, Virginia, d.ca. 6 October 1879 at Madison County, Kentucky
| Will | 1808 Deed | 1817 Deed |

John Hudson was living in Madison County in 1808 before moving to Barren County. He would later return to Madison County, Kentucky before 1831. His property in Madison County bordered Edward Broaddus' land.
Spouse 1: 6. Susannah ___

Her name was found in the Madison County, Kentucky Deed Book L, pg. 464. The deed was made in Barren County, Kentucky on 7 January 1817. This may explain the early birthdate of Elijah Thomas Hudson before John Hudson's marriage to Frances Brockman in 1822. Further research is needed to verify this marriage.
