Judson, Madison, NY ca. 1840
In the 1840 census for Madison County (Town of Eaton, I believe), New York there is a Judson Booth who had living with him one Gideon Simmons, a pensioner from the Revolution who had come from the area of Little Compton, Newport County, Rhode Island to Madison County just before 1800.Gideon was about 96 years old at that time.Given the fact that Gideon had other adult children living in the area, some named Simmons, why did he live with Judson?Is it possible that Judson married Mary Simmons, daughter of Gideon?Mary was born circa 1784 in Rhode Island.Anyone who can shed light on Judson (or any of the Booth family in Madison, NY), please contact me at [email protected].
