4 Ira Mudge+ #84
Flags: 1883 Hist.
Ira was born 1 DEC 1776 in Unadilla, Otsego County, New
York. Ira was listed as the head of a family on the 1800 Census in
Otsego County, New York. Town of Pittsfield
He married Lucena (Sena) Unknown (Mudge)+* 1801.
He migrated from Unadilla, NY to Sullivan Township 1806. Came on
an ox sled from Unadilla in 1806. I do not know if Aurilla was born in
Sullivan or Unadilla or on the way.
Ira registered to pay taxes 1812 in Tioga township, Tioga
County, Pennsylvania. Tioga Township, at this time, was one of only
two townships in the county and it included the entire eastern half of
the county. This later became many townships that are still in existence
today.
Ira registered to pay taxes 1817 in Sullivan Township,
Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Sullivan Township was formed in 1816.
It was taken from Covington Township. Its original boundaries included
the southern half of Rutland formed in 1829, and the area that later became
Ward and Union Townships.
Ira registered to pay taxes 1818 in Sullivan Township,
Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Ira registered to pay taxes 1819 in Sullivan
Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Ira was listed as the head
of a family on the 1820 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania.
Ira died 9 DEC 1822 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at
age 46. His body was interred DEC 1822 in State Road Cemetery, Sullivan
Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Ira had his will probated 17
FEB 1823. Adm. Aaron Mudge and David Fellows. Surety - John Becher
and Wm. Patton. Buried in State Road Cemetery An original settler in Sullivan
Township. Listed among the land owners at formation in 1816. Sullivan Township
was formed from Covington Township. As it was formed, the territory now
includes several townships. Ira and Lucena lived on the State Road.
that they were on top of a mountain, so they had to find other places.
According to History of Tioga County 1897, Ira Mudge was on the tax list
in 1812 and lived on State Road. (Page 558). Ira died young, after his
wife, leaving several young children. Possibly his brother Aaron, or the
older children of the family, brought them up. Ira was the first supervisor
in township elections in 1819. See 1883 History page 332. He had 28 votes.
1883 Tioga County History page 31 of appendix - Came here on an ox sled
from Unadilla in 1806 and took up 100 acres of land in Sullivan.
Tioga County Pa. Records 1804-1880 page 16 Will Feb 17, 1823 died 1822
age 44 Administrator Aaron Mudge and David Fellows. Surety John Becker
and William Patton. Information from Polly Holmes says that Ira and Lucena
drove their ox team up the dry bed of Corey Creek from Mansfield to Mainesburg
and then up the slope of Armenia Mountain where they took up a tract of
400 acres on what is now State Road near the Baptist Church. They were
the earliest burials in State Road Cemetery which is across the road from
the Baptist Church, (but in no way associated with it) so it is logical
that that may have been their original holding or that it was by the time
Lucena died. Check land holding of the earliest times for information.
5 Lucena (Sena) Unknown (Mudge)+* #237
Lucena was born 23 MAY 1775 in Connecticut. She married
Ira Mudge+ 1801. She migrated from Unadilla, NY to Sullivan Township
1806. Came on an ox sled from Unadilla in 1806. I do not know if
Aurilla was born in Sullivan or Unadilla or on the way.
Lucena died 25 JUL 1819 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County,
Pennsylvania, at age 44. Her body was interred JUL 1819 in State
Road Cemetery, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Lucena
was among thje earliest burials, possibly the very earliest burial, in
State Road Cemetery. There is no evidence that Lucena's name was Godfrey.
Ellen Smith Jacobus had presented this as a possibility because Stephen
Godfrey Mudge had that name. She later discovered that Stephen's grandmother
was Eunice Godfrey and her father was Stephen which accounts for his name.
We need to look at Lucena's ancestry from scratch without assuming the
Godfrey name. There is NO evidence for it, but it was passed on to many
databases with no quality control and is recorded now in many areeas. it
is WRONG. They were married, probably in or near Unadilla, NY.
8 Joshua Mudge+ #81
Flags: Rev.War.
Joshua was born 1737 in Haddam, Middlesex County, Connecticut.
He married Mary Cornish+ BEF 1768. He migrated from Cannan, Connecticut
to Unadilla, New York ABT 1773. Joshua served in the military ABT
1776 in New York. Joshua was listed as the head of a family on the
1790 Census in Unadilla, Otsego County, New York. First Census of
the United States - Montgomery County NY, Mohawk Town. One male upwards
of sixteen, 2 males under sixteen. Female categories illegible. Can not
tell if this is the right houselhold. I find not Joshual Mudge entries
in Otsego Town. Need to find out where Unadilla was in 1790.
Joshua was listed as the head of a family on the 1800
Census in Otsego County, New York. Page # 33, Age range in househols
10001-0110100
Joshua died 13 MAR 1821 in Chili, Monroe County, New York,
at age 83. I can not find that any of Joshua's children were in the
area of Chili in the 1820 census, but Joshua is said to have died there.
Joshua Mudge was born in Haddam, Conn. in 1737, and removed to Unadilla,
NY in 1773. He was a farmer and resided in Canaan, Conn., where three of
his children were born. He sold his farm Jan.1, 1773 and removed to Unadilla,
Otsego County where six of his children were born, thence to Herkimer Co.,
Town of Newport where he lived for a short time. He then removed to Penna,
Here he lived until old age came upon him when in 1819 he went to live
with his son Ebenezer at Chili, NY, where he died. He was an active man
in his day, voluteered as a private in the French War of 1756 at
the age of twenty and served under General Abercrombie at the siege of
Oswego, NY where he received a wound by a cannon ball striking a rock,
knocking off a piece which struck him over the right eye destroying that
organ. He also served at times for two or three years in the War of the
Revolution, was in the battle of Bennington, in Aug. 1777 under Colonel
Stark, and at Saratoga on the surender of Burgoyne. He was also in other
service as appears from the State records of New York. Two of his sons
died in 1812 in the battle of Queenstown, Conn. Extracts from Mudge
Memorials, Boston, 1868, which in keeping with the traditions of the time,
does not include the wife as a partner in the writeup. We can conclude
that they were farmers and they sold their farm, etc. Rhoda Ladd's Tioga
County Revolutionary Soldiers page 225. Joshua was a Whig in politics,
he believed in the salvation of all mankind in religion. In the French
War of 1756, he was wounded by a slice of rock struck by a cannonball which
his over his left eye and blinded him. This happened at the Siege of Oswego.
In the Revolution, he was at the Battle of Bennington and was present at
the surrender of Burgoyne.
9 Mary Cornish+ #82
Mary was born 27 OCT 1742 in Canaan, Litchfield County,
Connecticut. Alternative birthdate is 2 NOV 1746. LDS records give
27 OCT.
She married Joshua Mudge+ BEF 1768. She migrated
from Cannan, Connecticut to Unadilla, New York ABT 1773. Mary died
1808 in Unadilla, Otsego County, New York, at age 65.
