Thanks Walt! You've helped me break through a brick wall I've been struggling with off and on for years. I have data on Tim A. in 1862 (Civil war volunteer), 1870 census (as "Arnaud"), 1890, in a Bridgeport Ct directory, as an assistant clerk on the steamer "Rosedale, 1894 on an application for vererans pension in Connecticut, 1920 in a New Jersey Home for Disabled soldiers, and his 1923 burial after dying in a VA hospital in Dayton, OH. If you want any particulars on him, I'll send what I have. James was first married to Julia Ann Arnold of Massachusetts, According t my family's lore, and an unsourced note in "L'Hommedieu" comp. by Patiia Havens L'Hommedieu, vol. I, pg 187: "No. 2060. James H'Hommedieu Hudson married Julia Ann Arnold in Great Barrington 1834." ( I think commas were omitted before and after "Hudson", which likely was referring to his place of residence at the time this was written.)
Thanks again, Walt
