JOHN BUDD NOTE: According to Budd Genealogy there were two DIFFERENT John Budds living early in Morris Co., NJ. 26 Mar 1740 Justices present: John Budd, Jacob Ford, Abraham [Ritchel? Kitchel?], John Lindsley Jr., Timothy Tuttle, Samuel Swesey 1 July 1740 Judges Present: John Budd, Gersham Mott, Abraham [Kitchel?], John Lindsley No business; Court adjourned until next day. 16 Sept 1740 “in Morristown” John Budd listed as one of the judges 23 Dec 1740 John Budd, judge 24 Mar 1741 John Budd is one of the judges 7 July 1741 Judges: John Budd, Girsham Mott & John Linsly “Tuesday 22 Desember 1741” One of judges is John Budd; one of justices is Timothy Tuttle [For some reason, between Dec 1741 and Mar 1746 I did not transcribe names of judges/justices. John Budd could well have continued to serve as judge.] 25 Mar 1746 Judges: John Budd, Girshom Mott, John Lindsly Jur., Jacob Ford Roxbury freeholders: John Budd & Nath. Drake [For some reason, between Mar 1746 and Mar 1747 I did not transcribe names of judges/justices. John Budd could well have continued to serve as judge.] John Budd & Nath. Drake were freeholders, Roxbury. John Budd & John Jarrad were Overseers of Poor, Roxbury 24 Mar 1747 John Budd is NOT listed as one of the judges. (Girshom Mott, John Lindsly Jr. & Jacob Ford were judges.) 15 Sept 1747 Judges: John Budd [note John Budd has returned; he was not named as judge since Mar 1746; is this the same John Budd, or his son?] appeal of Justice Budd’s [John?] judgment 22 Mar 1747/1748 John Budd & Nathaniel Drake were Freeholders, Roxbury. 5 July 1748 King v. John Budd & Nathaniel Drake; they offered security for appearance of John [Lidway?]; continued ‘til next term Saml. Woodruff v. John Budd Peter [Kemble?] [appellant?] v. John Budd [appellee?] 4 July 1749 John Budd supplied principal for Nath. Drake’s public house license [no township mentioned]

20 Sept 1749 John Budd member of a jury John Lindsley & Eliz. his wife v. Peter Kothly – land [to which they had gained title in a suit] described as 150 a. in Morris Town, “bounded easterly by land of John Budd Esqr. & partly...Samuel Potter...Widdow [Crammel?]...Benj. Pierson”; lands sold to John Ford for 95 pounds 10 shillings 28 Dec 1749 King v. John Budd [ no further info] 28 Mar 1750 Coonrat New Kerk v. John Budd – 60 pounds debt King v. John Budd – “He pleads not guilty” [no charge stated in these records]; “Mrs. Budd enters herself security for her son.” Which John Budd is this? See July entry where a “Sarah Budd” is [wife?] of “John Budd, dec’d.” Abraham Pierson v. John Budd – Trespass 4 July 1750 Simon Ely v. Sarah Budd [illegible word] [wife?] of John Budd, Dec’d – Case #14.10.0 “Ogden” [rules] NOTE: I think this Sarah is the widow of John Budd, son of Thomas Budd of Burlington, NJ. (Descendants of Thomas Budd of Burlington are NOT part of the Budd genealogy downloaded from www.thisbuddsforyou.com) This John, son of Thomas, is said to have lived “both [sic] in Hunterdon and Morris and Sussex Counties. This John, son of Thomas, wrote his will in 1749, in which he describes himself as “very old”]. This John, with wife Sarah ____, did have a son named John who “went to Charleston, SC before the Rev. War.” This John, with wife Sarah, also had a son who got into a WHOLE lot of trouble: Berne [Bern/Barnabus] who was sentenced to hang (in 1773?), and who at the last minute received a reprieve from Gov. Franklin. See also 18 Sept 1750 where a Sarah Budd is “Exex.[executrix] of John Budd.” 18 Sept 1750 Conradt Newkirk v. John Budd; “on motion of Lagrange it’s ordered by the court that the defendant be committed.” King v. John Budd; jury of 12 called & sworn; Atty Lagrange & Ogden for King; Lyne for prisoner. Witnesses for King: Daniel Wick, Abraham [Person?], John [Posson?], Richard Woods, Joseph Conduit. Witnesses for “Prisoner”: Francis Catterlin, Elizabeath Stillwell, Mrs. Budd, John Scott, Samuel Doty Jury deliberated then came back with “guilty” verdict. Defendant (John Budd) fined 20 shillings. 18 Sept 1750 Simon Ely v. Sarah Budd, Exex. of John Budd; “the Court orders judgment nisi” [My note: per Wikipedia, “a decree nisi is a court order that does not have any force until such time that a particular condition is met, such as a subsequent petition to the court or the passage of a specified period of time”; “from the Latin nisi meaning ‘unless.’”] Possibly the same Sarah who is possibly the mother of the John Budd who seems to be in so much trouble: 25 Dec 1751: “John Scott & Sarah his wife late Sarah Budd v. Ebenezer Muckmore – “Court order Judgmt. Nisi” 26 Dec 1750 Cornelius Low v. John Budd

John Schuyler v. John Budd (100 pound debt) [that’s a LOT] John Budd & Exrs. of Pitney v. David Ogden - Case #12 “Non est” 26 Mar 1751 John Budd & Nathan Cooper appt’d Freeholders, Roxbury John Schuyler v. John Budd – “debt on bail bond 200 pounds”; “Rules in custody” Samuel Walker v.

John Budd – “ordered on motion of LeGrande that the sheriff bring in the Body sitting the court [sic] or be [illegible] five pounds” 2 July 1751 Nath. Smith v. John Budd – debt Cornelius Low v.

John Budd – debt on baild bond 25 Dec 1751 John Schuyler v. John Budd Hendrick Lane v. John Budd Cornelius Low v. John Budd 26 Dec 1751 Saml. Walter v. John Budd – “the Sheriff having Returned that he had taken of Goods & Chattels Sufficient to pay Debt & Costs which remain in his hands for want of Buyers on Motion of Mr. Ogden order’d that a [Ven: Exponas?] do [ensue?].” Note: I think this means John Budd cannot pay his debts, so there is going to be a sheriff’s sale of his property to satisfy his creditors. 25 Mar 1752 John Budd v. Elijah Gillett – Case #100 Nathll. Smith v. John Budd – “Def. appears in Court & confesses judgment for debt & cost.” John Budd v. [Barb???Bosch???] & Brice [Rukey?] exec of Jacob [Bosc.???] – debt; “defendants appear in court & confess” 26 Mar 1752 Nath. Smith [assessor?] of John [Keney?] Esqr. v.

John Ford Esq., sheriff of Morris; surety: [??????] Elizabeth Crossman NOTE: As stated above, I believe Sarah to be the widow of John Budd and mother of John (here “Jno.” Budd). After her husband, John, died, Sarah married John Scott. 18 Sept 1753 Henry Clark v. John Budd 19 Sept 1753 unreadable name] Exec.? John Budd v. John Ford Esq. 25 Dec 1753 Henry Clark v.

Over 3 Times called & not appearing ordered that his 3rd Default be marked agt him and the auditors in this case having made there report...find the

Deft indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of 276 pounds, 11 shillings....The deft had title to 69 acres of Land to be taken in any part [and] appropriated in East Jersey and also the equity of redemption of tracts [4?] tracts of land conveyed to John Ford from the same [2 unknown words] therein mention & that the Deft goods chattels & effects to the vallue of Twelve pounds attached and in the hands of Daniel Budd...ordered that said reports be filed...and judgment thereon against the Deft...also ordered saile of sd goods & Chattles of said John Budd to be applied to satisfie in part said Debt due to said plaintiff.” 21 Dec 1756 Joseph Ogden v.

Mar 1763 John Budd v. Moses Tuttle & Isaac Winchel 7 July 1763 John Budd v. Tuttle & Winchell – discharged 21 Dec 1763 John Budd v. Benjamin Coe – trespass 24 Sept 1765 Jonathan Hampton v. John Budd – all the lands, chattels, etc. were attached by sheriff; def. called 3 times but defaulted; 3 auditors appointed by Court to pay off plaintiff & other creditors JANICE’S NOTE: This John Budd is not again found in these records court records (unless he is the John of the Dec 1771 record below?) I think John Budd fled the area. I suspect this John Budd has been “overlooked” in the extensive and impressively documented Budd genealogy that exists. I believe descendants of, or close relations of, this John Budd could be one of the Budds who settled very early in Rostraver, Westmoreland Co., PA (where John Corwin is found by 1790) OR he might be the John Budd who, per the 1881 genealogy, is said to have gone to Charleston “before the Rev. War.” Dec Term [no date] 1771 Thomas Budd v. Jasper Smith – [charge is unclear]; went to jury trial Some witnesses for plaintiff: Wm. D. Hart, John Budd, Bern Budd; jury ret’d: “plaintiff [that would be Thomas Budd] being called did not appear “but made default” whereupon def’s atty. moved for forfeiture; jury again called to rule but this time only 11 of the 12 jurors appears, so the jury was discharged! NOTE: This entry suggests a close relationship between a John Budd and Bern Budd. The 1881 genealogy shows that John Budd (who died in 1749) had sons John, Thomas, William and “Berne.” So I suspect that the Thomas, John and Bern of the above record are brothers. However, the 1881 genealogy states that John and Thomas “went the Charleston, SC, before the Rev. War”; William “went back to England”; and says not much of Berne [born abt. 1738, per muster roll] other than he “married and his children were John, William, David and Sarah.” March Term 1774 (15 Mar) Bern Budd “in Behalf of John Budd” v. Danl. Callighan – debt, 3 pounds Sept Term 1774 Daniel Calliker v. John Budd – appeal; debt, 3 pounds Nathl Drake v.

In provincial papers concerning the conviction of the Morris County counterfeiters, one is referred to as “Dr. Barnabus Budd.” Note in the Common Pleas records here that in 1764 one entry records the name as Barnabus. Note also that the March 1771 minutes list “apothecary drugs” as part of the property of “Bern” Budd that had been impounded by the sheriff.

moved for forfeiture; jury again called to rule but this time only 11 of the 12 jurors appears, so the jury was discharged! NOTE: This entry suggests a close relationship between a John Budd and Bern Budd. The 1881 genealogy shows that John Budd (who died in 1749) had sons John, Thomas, William and “Berne.” So I suspect that the Thomas, John and Bern of the above record are brothers.

Bern Budd – sheriff ordered to set value on damages March Term [no date] 1772, Bern Budd v. Jasper Smith – debt NOTE: Despite Bern Budd’s involvement in the above litigation, he seem to have retained some amount of good standing, as the next records show. Not only has he been appointed to important township offices, it seems that though an order was given by the Court to sell some of his possessions, to satisfy debts, the sheriff did not comply! March Term [no date] 1772 Bern Budd appt’d “Moderator” and Overseer of the Poor, Hanover. William Parson v. John Stiles high sheriff – “for not selling B.

When this was not done, William Parson sued the sheriff, as was his right under the law.] July Term 1772 (7 July) Cornelia Blau v. Bern Budd – defendant appears & confesses 10 pounds debt Bern Budd v. Jasper Smyth – debt [nothing further] NOTE: This is an old debt case, for a significant amount: 400 pounds. See July 1770. Patrick Doland v. Bern Budd Sept Term 1772 (22 Sept) Henry Howell petitions for public house license; Silas Howell & Bern Budd, sureties Patrick Doland v.

Stiles - “for escape of Bern Budd” – debt Mary Moore v. Jon. Stiles - “for escape of John Scott” – debt NOTE: The “escape of John Scott” notation is included here because I believe that Bern’s mother married John Scott after her first husband, John Budd, died in 1749. In the 1749 will of this John Budd he names wife Sarah and sons “Barne and Thomas.” And the 25 Dec 1751 Court minutes refer to “John Scott & Sarah his wife late Sarah Budd.” Dec Term [no date] 1772 Bern Budd v. Jos. [Jas.? Jasper?] Smith – debt Jury called for Budd v. Smith case above; jury’s verdict is for def.; debt, 60 pounds Mary Moore v. Jon.

Hart, John Budd, Bern Budd; jury ret’d: “plaintiff [that would be Thomas Budd] being called did not appear “but made default” whereupon def’s atty. moved for forfeiture; jury again called to rule but this time only 11 of the 12 jurors appears, so the jury was discharged! NOTE: This entry suggests a close relationship between a John Budd and Bern Budd. The 1881 genealogy shows that John Budd (who died in 1749) had sons John, Thomas, William and “Berne.” So I suspect that the Thomas, John and Bern of the above record are brothers. However, the 1881 genealogy states that John and Thomas “went the Charleston, SC, before the Rev. War”; William “went back to England”; and says not much of Berne [born abt. 1738, per muster roll] other than he “married and his children were John, William, David and Sarah.” Dec Term 1773 Willm.

This John b. 1696 moved from Rye to Roxbury, Morris Co., NJ abt. 1745 (when he sold his estate on Budd’s Neck in Rye). No birth date or other info given.

Elijah Budd – Case #30 26 Mar 1751 Nath. Brewsler v. Elijah Budd – [30?] pounds debt; [“Agreed”?] MOSES BUDD? 15 Sept 1747 Peter Kimball v. Moses Budd NOTE: I’ve not ever seen a Moses Budd in any Budd genealogy. No Moses Budd found on any ancestry.com trees. Did I mis-transcribe? BENJAMIN BUDD? March Term [no date] 1769 Moses Tuttle v. Benjn Budd NOTE: The “Descendants of John Budd-Rev. 2008” pdf shows a Benjamin b. 1720-1730, son of John who m. Hannah Conkling. This Benjamin m. Mary Moore. This Benjamin’s bro, William, was “one of the pioneer settlers of western PA.” What other Benjamins living this early are there? NOAH BUDD? 3 July 1753 William [Axtell?] v. Noah Budd NOTE: Noah is not mentioned in any Budd genealogies, to my knowledge. Nor is he shown on any ancestry.com trees. Did I mis-transcribe? ICHABOD BUDD? March Term [no date] 1772 Ichabod Budd gave evidence for plaintiff in debt case Thos. Faircloth v. Nathan Cooper

NOTE: No Ichabod Budd is listed in Budd genealogies, no my knowledge.No Ichabod Budd is shown in any ancestry.com trees, either. This could be a transcription error on my part; perhaps the name should be Ichabod COOPER. (I know a man of that name was living in Morris County.) ROBERT BUDD? July Term [no date] 1774 James Smith v. Patrick Darcey; evidence for def. given by John Cob [Cobb] & Robert Budd NOTE: No Robert Budd is known to have existed. I wonder if this is a mis-transcription on my part.
