Samuel Tschudy - Judah

(February, 1778 - October, 1820)

"Samuel (Sam) moved back to Baltimore Town, MD with his parents in 1779 or before. On or about 1798, Sam moved to Clark and Montgomery counties in Kentucky to visit his cousin, Martin (Tschudi) JUDY III and Elizabeth (Tschudi) JUDY, wife of Martin. Sam's marriage record is shown with a list of Judy-Judah-Juda marriages in Clark County, Kentucky (ref. Clark County Marriages 1790-1820, Vol. 1, pp. 260 and 261 by Geo. F. Doyle). The records show: "Sam (Samuel) JUDA (Judah-Tschudy-Tschudi) to Betsy (Elizabeth) JENNINGS on 19 Jun 1800. Betsy lived with her parents, Israel JENNINGS and Elizabeth MOUNT, in Montgomery County, Kentucky. Sam and Betsy lived for a while in both Clark and Montgomery counties, Kentucky.

"Samuel N. JUDAH Sr., who combined preaching the Gospel, farming and other work, made a trip to Jackson, Lawrence and Monroe counties, Indiana in 1819 to visit his brother, John Jacob JUDAH. He liked Lawrence County and secured considerable acreage near Harrodsburg. During the summer of 1819, Sam put in a crop of corn and returned to Kentucky to get his family and possessions. In October 1820, Sam contracted the deadly "milk fever," prevalent in many states at that time, and died suddenly. His cousin, Martin JUDY III and wife, Elizabeth (Tschudi) JUDY, took charge of his funeral, checked his possessions and made a written report to the Probate Court (see the "History of Lawrence County, Indiana," published in 1884 and Probate Records of Clark County, Kentucky). Sam and his wife, Elizabeth (Jennings) JUDAH, had five known sons, and perhaps one daughter, Lydia JUDAH who married a Mr. Kinser. Verified by the 1830 US Census of Indiana."
