Research notes

• to do: Naturalization? 1900 census^[3] mentions it

Andrew?

The profile had his second name as "Andrew", although it can be found in none of the sources.

Second name "Andrew" is just from family tradition. His youngest son is Louis Andrew Budd and family tradition had him as a "junior" even though his name isn't on any records that way. Robinson-27225 19:30, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Age

Statements about his age and with that the calculated year of birth vary among the sources between 1828 and 1832:

A letter from his grandchild Mildred E (Melvin) Galbraith claims that his birthday was on 27 November 1829.^[1]

His gravestone also has his birth year as 1829.^[24]

Birthday

While the letter from his grandchild Mildred E (Melvin) Galbraith states his birthday as 27 November 1829,^[1] the 1900 census, which was the only one that had the enumerators ask for year and month of birth, suggests December 1829.

Origin

As visible in the table above, all official sources claim Germany. Only exception is the 1870 census, which has his birth place as "Prussia".^[7]

The same 1870 census states his wife's origin as Hesse-Darmstadt, which is correct, since Frischborn, her birth place, belonged to the Grand Duchy of Hesse, also known as Hesse-Darmstadt. The 1967 grandchild letter claims Frischborn was in Hessse-Waldeck.^[1]

May it be that she confused the states of origin for her grandparents? Karl Thomas created a compilation of people who had their emigration announced in the official newspaper "Fürstlich Waldeckisches Regierungs-Blatt", for their creditors to be able to claim potential debt before those people left the country. His index contains exactly one Ludwig Budde. He was from Herbsen, a son of Wilhelm Budde, and had his emigration to America announced on 15 May 1854.^[25]

This Ludwig, whose year of emigration fits exactly to the passenger list^[2], was born on the 18th of December 1829 and baptized on the 26th or 28th. His parents were said Wilhelm Budde and his wife Louise née Rest.^[26] Not only do month and year of birth fit the 1900 census,^[3] but can the names of the parents be found among the names of the children of this Louis. Are these too many coincidences?

• to do: get newspaper announcement

Sticking with the idea of Ludwig being from Hesse, searching for Budde emigrants at the LAGIS database of Hessian National Archives, yields two records about the same Ludwig Budde, who emigrated to America in 1854. He was a cloth maker from "Homberg". ^[27][28] Those records are probably about Ludwig Budde (1805-1870).

   Grandmother Budd's maiden name was Katerina Grebe and she came from a town called Frischborn in Hessse-Waldeck, Germany. She and grandfather Budd did not know eachother in Germany but met in Dunkirk, NY and were married there about 1858. Grandfather Budd was born 27 Nov 1829 and grandmother in 1837. They had a daughter Louisa born 27 Nov 1859 and another daughter Christina born 28 Jun 1861. These two died of scarlet fever very young. Then came your grandfather Budd in 1864, my mother Kate in 1867, Fred in 1869, Willie in 1874, Carrie (Caroline) in 1876, and Louis in 1878. We do not know where granfather Budd came from in Germany ... Grandfather Budd died at Forestville, NY in 1916 and grandmother Budd on the farm out of Forestville, NY in 1917
