Biography

Judith was named as a daughter in her father's will.

There is some question regarding when she was born-- the census gives us a range of 1792 to 1796. It's likely that it's closer to 1792 than 1796. Judith was the youngest child and her eldest brother was born in 1768, a difference of 24 years. It's also compatible with her mother being born around 1750.
