Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 3rd ed., 1886. Warren County. JAMES T. HUDNALL was born in Warren County, February 9, 1842. His father, John W. Hudnall, is by birth a Tennessean, born July 16, 1808, and yet living. His mother was a Miss Rachel Upton. She died in 1873, the mother of thirteen children, six of whom are living: Mary A., Caroline, James T., Rhoda, Heritage and Louisa. John W. Hudnall has been one of the successful farmers of Warren County. He took a strong stand in favor of the Federal Government in the late civil war, and was and is yet an uncompromising Republican. He is a man of unquestioned integrity and strict business principles. He has for the last forty years been a minister of the Methodist Episcopal faith, and yet, at the advanced age of seventy-seven years, continues in the work with scarcely diminished zeal. He is a son of James and Rhoda (Chastine) Hudnall, the former of Irish and the latter of Highland Scotch descent. James T. Hudnall was reared on a farm. His father patronized the schools and took an interest in the ducation of his children; but young Hudnall's education was cut short by the war, in which he engaged as a private soldier in Company A, Eleventh Kentucky Volunteer Infantry in 1861. He served as a private until the close, and was engaged in the battles of Shiloh, Perryville, Stone River, siege of Knoxville, and the campaign through Georgia from Dalton to the siege of Atlanta. After the war he returned to his home in Kentucky and engaged in farming, which business he yet pursues with success. He owns 335 acres of land lying on the waters of Green River, all of which is fenced and improved. Mr. Hudnall was married, February 11, 1873, to Judith Cole, of Warren County. Their three sons, William, Even and John, and two daughters, Mary and Maud, all reside with their parents. Mrs. Hudnall is of Irish descent, and is a daughter of William and Nancy Cole, of Warren County; she is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Hudnall is a Master Mason in Woodbury Lodge, No. 280, and in politics is a Republican. Hudnall Upton Chastine Cole = TN http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/warren/hudnall.jt.txt
