Biography
John Rudolph, son of George and Christina, was confirmed at Hebron Lutheran Church, (Hampshire County, now West Virginia), May, 1817. John Rudolph eventually owned considerable land in the Cedar Creek Valley, in Shenandoah County, Virginia, which he received from his father and also purchased additional land.[1]
The children and heirs of John and Mary Rudolph are named in a chancery suit regarding the partition of his land among his children and the assignment of the dowry of his widow, Mary.[2]
