HENRY R. RUDD was born July 15, 1842, in Todd County; he is a son of
Richard and Lavina (Francis) Rudd, who are natives of Kentucky, and now
living in this precinct.  Henry R. enlisted in 1861, in Company F,
Twenty-fifth United States Kentucky Infantry.  This regiment was afterward
consolidated with the Seventeenth Infantry; he was then transferred to
Company D.  After serving eighteen months he was discharged on account of
sickness caused by exposure and from the effects of which he has suffered
more or less since, which is gradually impairing his health, and leaves
him in poor hope of ever being himself again.  On returning home he
engaged in farming, which he has since continued; in 1874 he came to his
present farm, where he is now completing a residence which cost about
$300.  Mr. Rudd was married August 13, 1863, to Nancy Jane Wells, of
Kentucky; she died in 1873, leaving three sons.  His next marriage was in
1874 to Elizabeth Heltsley, of this county.  This marriage is blessed
with one son.  They are members of the Missionary Baptist Church.
