GEORGE RUDDELL

ISAAC RUDDELL 'S OLDEST SON WAS GEORGE RUDDELL, BORN 2-14-1757 IN FREDERICH CO., VA. GEORGE MARRIED THEODOCIA LYNN (B 6-13-1763, VA) AT RUDDELL;S STATION, BOURBON CO., KY ON 4-12-1779. THEY WERE BOTH LIVING THERE WHEN THE FORT WAS ATTACKED, THEREFORE I FEEL THEY WERE BOTH CAPTURED. THE BOOK BY DR. BARB "A HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE RUDDELL FAMILY" AND THE OBIT IN THE ARKANSAS GAZETTE OF THEODOCIA LYNN RUDDELL BOTH CONFIRM THEY WERE CAPTURED. THE FAMILY ORAL HISTORY ALSO INDICATES THAT ONE THE BABIES KILLED WAS THEIR FIRST BORN, BUT I HAVE NO COMFIRMATION OF THIS FACT. GEORGE AND THEODOCIA (DOCHY) HAD THE FOLLOWING CHILDREN.
