The Descendants of
William Judson & His Wives Grace and Elizabeth
William Judson was born around 1595 in Yorkshire, England, and married his first wife Grace circa 1618 in England. He, his wife, and their three children emigrated to New England in 1634 and settled first in Concord, Massachusetts. They were among the first families in the new settlement of Stratford, Connecticut. Some say he was the first to move there. Later, his business interest caused him to remove to New Haven, Connecticut. This book provides the details the first four generations of the family and gives the names of generation five. The Judson family is discussed in The History of Stratford and Bridgeport, Connecticut by the Reverend Samuel Orcutt published in 1886. It is also briefly covered in The Families of Old Fairfield by Donald Lines Jacobus. These works contain a some information on the early generations. They do a reasonable job on the male lines. However, female lines are incomplete or scattered among other families. The new genealogy adds information on the female lines and corrects some errors for the first five generations found in the cited works. Research is underway to extend this genealogy to the present. Biographical material is added. Detailed source references are given, often to primary records. Along with the text are photographs of tombstones. There are indexes of people and places. The book is bound in soft-cover and is printed on acid-free paper.
