Family of William James & Etta Barnhill Hudson
This photo was taken on the front porch of their home on College Street in Clinton, NC in 1910.
Back Row:
William James Hudson, Ruth Marie Hudson, Etta Barnhill Hudson (Marcus Wilbert Hudson was not yet born, but was conceived).
Front Row:
Bettie Ada Hudson[Barfield], Mary Jane Hudson, Leamon [Lehman] Shadrick (Shad) Hudson.
This photo was taken at the house in Clinton. They moved from there to the farm located on the Warsaw Hwy [24]. The farm was about 5 [?] miles outside of town. There was a railroad that ran in front of his farm; when you came off the highway you had to cross the railroad to get to the farm which was about a 1/2 to 1 mile from there. We used to walk beside the tracks to go into Clinton. I was not little, probably a teenager [about 15 in 1941] when Will died. I was married & had Mary when Etta died which was on Christmas Eve 1948. Mary was born just a couple of weeks before then.
Will’s two sons by his first wife were named Coleman & Troy. Coleman moved to Alexandria, LA & was a manager of a large hotel, and I think his wife’s name was Pearl [Geneva Eula Treece] and they had a son & daughter. Leamon inherited part of Will’s farm (back quarter) & his wife’s name was Nana. They had no children. Ruth died unmarried as a young woman. Mary Jane never married; she was an invalid. Bettie married Willie Barfield and they moved to Norfolk. Marcus, who was the youngest got married, and her name was Ruby. They had 3 children: Marcus Jr., known as MJ, Catherine, & Billy.
