Hudson-6511 and Hudson-12205 do not represent the same person because: The date and place for my 7th generation great grandfather, Asa Hudson is wrong. It gets confused with Asa’s nephew, also named Asa who was the son of my Asa’s brother Eli and Deborah Osborne. Asa in my line moved to Duthchess County NY around 1770. He was a sergeant in the N.Y. militia during the revolutionary war. He eventually settled in Rensselaerville , NY where he raised his family. While I have failed to find his death date, I surmise it was between 1821-1825 based on the fact that he appears in the 1820 Census but not the 1830 census . As important, his widow, Mary Scott moved to Geneva, NY after 1820 to live with her eldest son, my direct descendent, David Hudson, a prominent lawyer who moved there at the age of 21. She is buried in Geneva along with David and his wife, Hester “Hetty” Dey. I am currently completing a book detailing my Hudson family in America from the first person who settled permanently in Massachusetts- Daniel Hudson until present day. My cousin, a fellow genealogist has aided me in my search for Asa. With the exception of his death date, I have a pretty complete picture of him.

Asa had three surviving sons, Lemuel, David (my 5th great grandfather), and Daniel. Both David and Daniel moved to Geneva N.Y. where David became a prominent citizen of the town. Daniel opened the local pharmacy but moved on to Michigan. The town of Hudson, Michigan is named after him. He became a doctor and was one of the early members of the Board of Regents for the University of Michigan. David Hudson was a lawyer, a commissioner of the Erie Canal, and a founding regent of Hobart College - now Hobart and William Smith.

He had six sons and one daughter. He died before 1825 in N.Y. Many sites have him dying in Bridgewater, MA. confusing him with his nephew also named Asa.
