You can see Davy's document at the British Museum (Add: MSS 19,158 dated 1848). The easiest book to look this up in is A Dictionary of Suffolk Arms by Joan Corder, published by the Suffolk Records Society in 1965 before ISBN numbers were invented. I would be interested in knowing whether there were any connections to the list of Mudds which I sent you previously.

Forgive my delay in returning your email. As you may notice I have a new email address so your email went to an old email account I have at California State University in Hayward where I was taking classes last year. I only check for email on that account about once a month. My dad, who passed away several years ago, was interested in the Mudd Family history. It's never been a particular interest of mine but during the Christmas break last year, some spirit moved me to see how far back I could trace my branch of the family tree. I've inherited the two volumes of "The Mudd Family of the United States". Are you familiar with these? These volumes had already done most of the work for me but the trace stopped at the shores of Maryland with Thomas Mudd who is believed to be the progenitor of most of the Mudds in the US. There was no mention of where in England he might have come from except this small but intriguing reference, "Thomas Mudd departed from Bristol, England on Aug. 14, 1665, bound to Anthony Noakes for three years in Va.". He next shows up in records in Maryland where he lived out the rest of his life. I didn't realize what a nearly impossible task it is to try and trace one individual who lived so long ago from such meager evidence. Geneology isn't my hobby but I took up the challenge. I subscribed to a couple of genealogy List and News Groups for about three months in hopes of finding information about the roots of Thomas Mudd in England. But I realized in the course of using the two volumes and the internet to search for Thomas Mudd in England that I would only get so far. After that I'd need to go to England and search the records in those areas that seemed the most promising. I learned a little British History along the way too. When Thomas Mudd left England, it was during a time of great persecution for Catholics. They were often hunted down and thrown in jail or worse. No doubt this is why he left England and settled in the Catholic sanctuary set up in the Colonies called Maryland. Many of the Catholics in England at that time were in hiding and were also vigorously destroying any evidence that they were Catholic. This would include birth and marriage records. Not a good sign when you're trying to find out where someone was born. I didn't have the time or the means to travel to England so my search came to a stop. I did correspond with a few genealogists in England and researched the web sites of some county records in England. My hunch based on what I found was that if I ever visit England the two places I would search for Thomas Mudd among parish records would be first in Yorkshire County and then next in Suffolk County. I didn't find any conclusive evidence but I found several references to Thomas Mudd in Yorkshire around the time he was born. And there are a large number of Mudds in that county. My hunch about Suffolk comes from his close connection to his neighbor and in-laws in Maryland whose family came from Suffolk County. There is apparently some evidence that the Mudd family and the family of his neighbor in Maryland had close family ties going back several generations in England. Well that's all I've got. I don't know if any of this is new information for you or not. I did have a very brief correspondence with a Mary Wood who was researching her family's roots in England. She said that there was a marriage to a Mudd within her family tree and so she was also interested in tracing Thomas Mudd. The last I understood she was planning a trip to England to continue her research but I haven't heard from her since. That was about ten months ago. ***** Happy holidays to you and all your family and I hope to hear from you. Bill Mudd ______________ | ||||||||||
