A plea to those who perpetuate bad limbs on their family trees

There are many in the genealogy world who copy erroneous information to their family trees, picking the rotten limbs off other trees and passing them on and on. This blog is created in a hope of helping to end some of this. It does no one any good to pass on misinformation and blatantly fraudulent branches on your tree. Put some effort into your work and produce a tree your family can be proud of, accurate and reliable.

William Luddington of Massachusetts/ Connecticut-not Virginia

The William Luddington of Malden and Charlestown Massachusetts was never in Virginia. This is according to the memoir of Colonel Henry Luddington, a descendent of William. William removed to New Haven Connecticut and died there either in 1661 or 62. He had a daughter Mary and a son Mathew but no mention is made of a Hannah. His wife's name was Ellen.
William Luddington/Ludington of Virginia was a man of some esteem, it would seem, as he was in the assembly for Kent Island in 1642 and in the House of Burgesses 1646/47 for the town of Yorke. He signed an Oath of Allegiance to Cromwell.
