Bandy, Doctor William Thomas (I41118)
 
7276 William graduated from the College of New Jersey, a lawyer by profession. He served in the Civil War for the Union. He enlisted as a private, April 16, 1861, assisted in recruiting and organizing troops in the beginning of the civil war for the Fourteenth Regiment of New Jersey volunteers. In 1863, he was appointed major and aide-de-camp to Major General Gillmore, and participated in the capture of Morris Island and in the bloody and disastrous night attack on Fort Wagner, South Carolina.

Because of illness, he was transferred North to the pay department of the U.S. Army. He was brevetted lieutenant colonel for meritorious services during the war. In 1867, he was made brigadier general and adjutant general of New Jersey. In 1874, he was brevetted major general. He received the honorary degree of LL.D. Besides many valuable historical pamphlets and monographs he compiled a Roster of the Jerseymen in the Revolutionary War (1872); Roster of the New Jersey Volunteers in the Civil War (1876); and wrote the Battles of Trenton and Princeton (1898).

His thirty-three years in office made William the longest serving adjutant general in New Jersey history, but he is best known for his work as a historian. His attention to detail in compiling lists of Jerseymen who served in the nation's wars resulted in publications that remain standard references today, and no one can write New Jersey military history without consulting his numerous books and articles, rich with primary source material, on the state's role in the American Revolution. As a member and officer of many American and European historical societies, including a term as president of the New Jersey Historical Society, William's contributions to New Jersey historiography were enormous. 
Stryker, General William Scudder (I4315)
 
7277 William graduated from the College of New Jersey, now Princeton University, in 1860. During the Civil War, he served as an assistant surgeon with the 35th New Jersey Infantry, enlisting on 23 September 1864. He was mustered out on 30 June 1865 in City Point, Virginia. Combs, Dr. William Sutphen (I16707)
 
7278 William graduated from the New Brunswick Seminary. On May 25, 1838, he and Theodosia embarked from New York to serve in a mission in the East Indies. They remained in Batavia for a few years, to become acquainted with the people among whom they would serve. He studied Chinese and worked as a missionary to the Chinese in Batavia. He maintained a boarding school for boys who were taught five hours of Chinese and three hours of English daily, in addition to the time spent on the usual religious subjects.

Following the first Opium War in 1842, China was forced by the British to open her doors to the Western countries, to include missionaries. The Reformed Church decided that China would be more fruitful for missionaries than Borneo. Because of his knowledge of Chinese, William was assigned to China.

William and his family came from Borneo to Amoy, arriving in June 1844. In a year and a half from the time of their arrival at Amoy, a fellow missionary, Reverend Elihu Doty, was on his way to the United States with two of his own and two of William's children. The other members of their families, the mothers and the children, were Iying in the Mission cemetery on Kolongsu. To 'hold the fort,' so far as the Mission was concerned, William was left alone.

William had a new dialect to acquire, yet when health allowed, he daily visited his little mission chapel, and twice on the Sabbath, to preach the Gospel of Christ. He was a man of work, of great activity. In 1847, he was suffering from ophthalmia. Much of his reading and writing had to be done for him by others. He was still subject to occasional attacks of the old malarial fever. Besides all this he was now alone in the world, his whole family gone, two of his little ones in New York, and the others, mother and children, sleeping their last sleep.

William embarked from Hong Kong enroute to Amoy on January 2nd in the schooner Omega. On the morning of probably the 5th, at about two o'clock, she struck near Breaker Point, one hundred and twenty miles from Hong Kong. A strong wind was blowing at the time, so that every effort to get the ship off was unavailing. She was driven farther on the sand and fell over on her side. Her long boat and one quarter boat were carried away, and her cabin filled with water. The men on board clung to the vessel until morning. The remaining boat was then lowered. Those of the crew who were able to swim were directed to swim to the shore. The captain, first and second officers, and William entered the boat and those of the crew who could not swim also received permission to enter. But a general rush was made for the boat, by which it was overturned, and those who could not swim, William among the number, perished.

7281 William graduated in medicine at the University of Michigan in 1852; served as surgeon of the Second Michigan Cavalry 1861-1864; represented Macomb county in the legislatures of 1857-1858 and 1861-1862; was for sixteen years a director of the Utica schools.

An attempt to kill Dr. William Brownell of Utica was made by Lewis C. Butler, June 24, 1872. The would-be murderer was a native of Troy, Oakland County. 
Brownell, Dr. William (I15114)
 
7282 William grew up in The Hollow, Rowan county, North Carolina, in the part that became Surry county in 1770. When William was in his early teens, his family crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains to what is now upper east Tennessee. After being a Revolutionary War soldier, William moved across the border into Russell, now Scott county, Virginia. There he married Jemima Carter and lived the rest of his life

William's older brother, David, and half-brother, Loving Bledsoe, were drafted into the army, but before the day of their rendezvous, orders came that all should go that were able to go. Since his brother and half-brother were going, William testified in his pension claim that he volunteered for a tour of duty.

William tells of the days after the Battle when they marched to Salisbury with the prisoners to turn them over to other North Carolina troops. Then the over mountain men were discharged, and thus ended William's second tour of duty. The rest of William's company went on home, but William said in his pension application that he stayed near Salisbury for perhaps a year after the Battle of King's Mountain. When there was another draft, William was to substitute in the place of one Daniel Tunroy for another three months tour of duty.

The Company rendezvoused near the Moravian town of Salem (now Winston-Salem) They marched one day towards the army when William `was taken sick" and directed by the officers to return to his uncle's in Surry County. Which Stewart uncle is not known, but it was probably David. There was another draft and William substituted again, this time for a Thomas Smith. The rendezvous was again at Salem, North Carolina. William's company was intercepted by the British and delayed so that they did not reach General Greene's Army before what is now called the Battle of Guilford Court House. This was William Stewart's last tour of duty, ending in the spring of 1781.

William was an active member of the Stony Creek Primitive Baptist Church, located close the Clinch River near Fort Blackmore. People joined the newly organized church by letter from another church, showing they were in good standing, or by experience and baptism.' William joined by letter 27 June 1801. John Stewart, assumed to be William's father, joined by experience and baptism 22 May 1802. There is this mention of William's wife on 25 April 1807: "Then came forward Sister Jemima Stewart and told her experience and was received and baptized.' Sundays were not for work, but for church services administration of the Lord's Supper every three months, and for prayer meetings. Sinning included drunken behavior, fighting, getting in a passion and swearing, dancing, gaming, and even a disorderly walk such as visiting and vain jangling and a constant loose carriage." Forgiveness was nearly always given if the sinner confessed in church and showed contrition.

According to his Revolutionary War pension application, William was 88 years of age when he died 3 September 1851 at Rye Cove, Scott county, Virginia.

7286 William is listed in the 1880 Federal Census of Meadow Bluff District, Greenbrier county, West Virginia, with an occupation of Turner. He was widowed at that time. He was an original trustee of the Soule Chapel Methodist Church in Greenbrier; and his son, Fulton, fought in the Civil War and took up his grandfather’s hereditary membership in the Society of the Cincinnati. A few Scudder descendants still live in Greenbrier County, although the years have completely obliterated the Scudder-Crane family
connection.

7287 William learned of his mother’s death a day later, (he was out of town on business) and saw that Tyrus was grief-stricken. He went to Halifax for his bride, brought her back to the house he had ready for her, and took over much of Tyrus’ responsibility as head of the family. Hart, William (I47218)
 
7288 William left Philadelphia when he was 13 years old. He traveled alone by train to Detroit and worked on the Bob-Lo boat for several years. He became ill and went to live with his sister Vina until he recovered. He became a journeyman tool and die maker. He retired at the age of 62. Hendry, William Francis (I35999)
 
7289 William Ludlam, I, of Southampton, Long Island, or known on the parish registers at Matlock, Derbyshire, England as "Jr" has an estimated birth date of 1605 estimated from the birth of his first child William, II, about 1627. He was from Matlock, Derbyshire, England where several of his children's christenings are recorded as are the deaths of his parents William Ludlam, Sr. and Mary.

MATLOCK Parish Register DATA in Walter D. Ludlam, "William Ludlam of Southampton, Some New Information," The American Genealogist, v. 29, (1953): 91–98. He cites: "Abstracts of Deeds of Queens County, New York, Liber A, 1683–1702/3), pp. 71–73. Register begins 1637. Burials of William Sr & wife Mary Ludlam, Clemence, wife of William Jr., &Sr's sons Anthony & Obadiah. There are christenings for four of Wm Jr's younger children, including Mary, 1639 and Joseph 1646.

The Matlock PR also gives the burial of William Jr.'s son John. The register specifies differences between William Sr & William Jr. William, Jr.'s other 7 children are named in his will recorded at New York City, 1665 so the names of his other children are known but the birth years have been estimated by family genealogists.

William, Sr.'s wife Mary's maiden name is not recorded on any primary source record.

There is a dispute about the surname of Clemence, the wife of William Ludlam I who went to Long Island, New York. There is no primary source marriage record for the claim that she was Clemence Fordham, daughter of Philip Fordham of Sacombe, Hertfordshire. This notion comes from a manuscript Sketch by Louis Tooker Vail at the Pennypacker Library in Easthampton, not from a primary source record. Therefore skepticism is in order pending further research or someone producing a primary source record that is contemporary to the persons involved.

There is negative evidence historically because there is a considerable distance of 135 miles between Sacombe and Matlock and no marriage record. There is no historical record that connects Rev. Robert Fordham with William Ludlam I until they were at Southampton, Long Island, (NY)

Also to be considered, there is a marriage record for a William Ludlam on 17 April 1625 to a Clement Matthewes at Terrington St. Clement, Norfolk, England, which date and bride's given name are compelling but again the distance is an issue, it being 94 miles away. The original record should be checked to see if the residences of bride and groom are named to confirm if it is William Ludlam of Matlock but so far the image of that record has not been available. Without corroborating evidence, a major question to resolve in either case is how would the couple meet with such distances involved. After surveying the various conflicting sources at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, some from different conclusions and some from different information altogether or proven incorrect, caution has been in order. Pending proof, therefore, Clemence is in this database without a maiden name.

Madison county is located on the southeastern edge of the Bluegrass region of Kentucky where the knobs mark the boundary between the rolling Bluegrass and the hillier Cumberland Plateau. The original county seat was Milford, but it was later moved to Richmond.

Many early settlers passed through Madison county. Fort Boonesborough was established near the Kentucky River in 1775. Several ferries once operated in the county, beginning with one at Boonesborough in 1779.
