  • Notes 
    • Lieutenant in military, Leather sealer for Saybrook Fort

      He settled as early as 1640 in New Haven, Connecticut, and soon afterward in Saybrook, Connecticut. He took the oath of allegiance in 1651. He was a prominent citizen of Saybrook, assistant to Captain Mason in the fort there in 1652; sealer of leather in 1656, and held various other places of trust and honor.

      He is first found in April 1640 on the records of the Particular Court of Hartford, CT. He appears to be quite young, perhaps a late teenager, he was then of New Haven. How he reached Connecticut is unknown, no parents to be found in early colonial records. Apparently he was of English descent, although the RUDD name is often found in very early records of Ireland, Scotland and Wales as well as England. Many Rudd ministers found in England.

      Jonathan removed soon to Saybrook, where he took the Oath of Fidelity 1 Oct 1644 and was made Freeman. He was Admitted Freeman and took the oath of Allegiance in1651, Hartford
      Immigration - Emmigrated from England in 1640. -
