Cap't Bob: I have looked up Hudson, MI on the Internet and seen some really neat historical pictures of it. The reason I was looking is because I've been trying to track my Hudson ancestors. The one from my line went up there, from Virginia, somewhere to build ships for the War of 1812, when it was thought most of the action would be up there. My dad cannot remember the name of the town where they settled and said his dad found any records had burnt down with a courthouse fire. My thinking was maybe Hudson, MI was named after someone other than Henry, i.e. a long lost relative:-) Do you know any of the origins of the town name? Thanks, either way.
