Am searching for the parents (Louis & Victoria), siblings (Louis Eugene, Elizabeth), and grandparents (William or Billy) of a Jess HUDSON, born in Villa Ridge, Pulaski Co., in 1891. I believe they also lived in or near Cairo in Alexander Co. around the turn of the century (1900) .
It is believed his father was named Lewis or Louis or Louie HUDSON; his mother was Victoria WATERS or WATTERS. His parents divorced within a few years of his birth and the father re-married and sired another family with many children.

I believe the grandfather and father are listed on the 1880 Pulaski Co., census : it lists a son named "Lewis" and a sister to this son named "Milly". From later documents I know that Lewis or Louis or Louie HUDSON did have a sister named "MIllie" who in 1941 was living in Cairo as "Millie EDWARDS".

Jess married in Cairo (1914) an Effie RAY

Would love to hear from anyone with information - even if someone has found mention of a death of a William or Billy Hudson 1880-1910 in Pulaski Co.,IL.
