wifes name was Sarah, he had two sons Hezikiah and William Judge. He is to have died in virginia
possibly in Scott, Culpepper or the surrounding counties. Sarah moved to Cocke county, TN with
the two boys shortly after William's death. I have info on Hezikiah and William Judge if anyone
should need it. This was all to have taken place in the late 1700s or early to mid 1800s. I found
