A CORNER IN
ANCESTORS
By FRANCIS COWLES
Mudge Family
O
(CupyrtKlit by McClure byuilivittej
Although It is hard to trace the gen
ealogy of the Immediate ancestors of
the two members of the Mudge family
who came to this country from Eng
land In 1C38, and in 1657, it is known
that they belonged to the well known
family of that name first heard of to
ward the end of the fourteenth cen
tury. The name was then spelled
Mugg, or'Mugge; but it was pro
nounced with a soft "g". The spell
ing was later changed to its pres
ent form. In the long line of Mud
ges that lived and prospered in Eng
land, between 1400 nnd 1C28, several
clergymen were noteworthy; and
since the family has been In this
country, there have also been several
well-known clergymen.
The earliest settlers here were Jar
vis and Thomas, probably brothers,
from England. Jarvls Is first men
tioned as a resident of New England
In 16u8, and Thomas, about 20 years
later.
In 1G 10, Jarvls's name is in the town
records of Hartford, Conn. At a town
meeting "it was agreed by the com
mittee" which had previously been ap
pointed to look into the matter," that
there shall be sequestered to the use
of Jarvls Mudge six acres of that
ground, if the town shall admit him
an inhabitant." This "ground" was
tho land laid Tilde "to accommodate
several poor men." Hut either the
town did not admit him as an in
habitant, or else the desire for change,
which seems to have been one of his
strongest traits, got the better of Jar
via; for in 1644 he i3 heard of in
Weathersfleld. After 1619. when he
married the widow of Abraham Elslng,
he went to Pequot, now New London,
Conn., which had Just been settled.
Jarvls- died in 1G53. His two chil
dren, MIcah and Moses, were born in
New London, the former in 1650 and
the latter in 1652. .
MIcah's brother, Moses moved to
Oyster Bay, Long Island, when he was
a child. There he was a man of some
Importance. He was one of the 70
freemen of the place who In 1678
bought a strip of land from the In
dians "which runs from one great tlr
er to the other."'
Thomas Mudge supposed to be a
brother of Jarvls,. the first settler, is
heard of with his wife in Maiden, in
1657 where they were called as wit
nesses to an assault; and the next
year they are heard ef again io the
same, capacity. The records read:
"Henry Sweneway servant of John
Bunker Is presented for abusing kig.
late master Peter Tufts and his dame
in blose and words. Witness Thomas
Modgo and his wife and others." Ther
follows: "the testimonie of ,Marli
Mudg aged about thlrtlo afermeth that
she befng at Goodman Turfs of ar
errand Gudie Torfo and she hereips
the Dine in the yard, we went out ol
the dore and his ninn had got up t

when he se me he threwo it downe;

his master has Rouge.
Thomas was married and had sever
al children. One of his descendants
Rev. Enoch Mudge, was the firsi
native Methodist preacher ef New
England.
No one will doubt after reading tht
following list that the Mudges were
patriotic. Tn the King Philip wju
James Mudge was killed, and hli
brothers George John and Thomai
fought la the French and Indian wa)
Captain Micah was with Wolf at thi
surrender of Quebec. William Mudg
lost tbe sight of one eye In the wat
and Samuel was killed. William alsc
volunteered for the revolutionary war
and about fifteen other Mudges served
as privates. Abraham was a sergeant
Joseph a drummer, Elder Reuben and
Rev. John were chaplains, and
Jarvls was a first lieutenant. In the
war of 1812 there were seven or elghl
privates, Nathaniel a commissary, and
Joseph, Samuel and Amos, captains
In 1835 Lieutenant Robert, West Point
graduate, was killed by Indians In
Florida. About twenty of the family
volunteered as privates In ttie clvl!
war. John G. was a captain, William
P. and Charles were lieutenants, th
former killed at Lookout Mountain
ChaTles R., killed at Gettysburg was a
lieutenant colenel, as was Melvln, and
Pr. Ertklne Bcntty Mudge was assist
ant scrgeon In the navy.
