Biography

Quote from John's bio "We next find him searching for gold in Whitehall, Va., where he remained three years and operated as foreman for the Philadelphia gold mining concern - W.A. Budd & Co."^[1] (I thought Whitehall was in Frederick County - and it probably is but that is not where they were living! It is not too unusual to live in one county and work in another - but Frederick and Louisa aren't adjacent. I finally found him in 1850 census records in Virginia!! And note the Isaac Budd from Pennsylvania living with him!)
