Individual Details
Edward HUDSON
(1744 - 27 Jun 1825)
On 29 September 1774 Edward renewed his 1771 lease with William Talbot of Mount Talbot, Co. Roscommon whereby he took out a 19-year lease agreement to acquire the tenant rights to the Kilbaha land which had formerly been in the possession of his father, William, for at least three decades prior to 1771.
Although the 1771 deed refers to Edward as being from Tralee. Co. Kerry, Hudson researcher Bill Hudson tells us he was living in Kilbaha prior to his marriage in 1784, and a 1794 deed gives his address as Laccabeg (also spelled Lackabeg), Abbeydorney, Co. Kerry. Edward and his family later settled in Tralee, Co. Kerry where Edward prospered as a businessman and landlord. He owned property on the Mall, Tralee, in Lackabeg and in Kilbaha. He probably also owned or leased properties in West Clounalour and North Gallows Green, Tralee as an Edward Hudson is listed as owner of these lands in a Tithe Applotment Book dated 1823, two years before his death (his son Edward probably being too young, at 21, to be the owner).
Edward's Laccabeg property was rented from the Crosbie family. What may be described as the Crosbies' rent book for the years 1805-1812 has been studied by a fellow Hudson researcher at the National Library in Dublin in the hope of learning more about the Hudson family. Unfortunately no further information has been gleaned but, in case it is helpful in the future, the book tells us the lease on Laccabeg land dated from 23 May 1788. The rent was initially £60 but later abated to £52. In addition to the cash payment, there was also one in kind which consisted of five slane of turf, 20 pecks of meal, one goose and a couple of pullets. As was common in the 18th century the lease was for three lives. In this case the three lives were John C. Graves, 2nd son of Dean Graves; John Hamilton, aged 18, son of John Hamilton of Kilcolgan; and Edward's wife, Honora.
