I. Jenings Price Hudson b. February 26, 1838; d. June 26, 1913
The oldest child, Jennings Price Hudson, by 1860 had been married two years to Sallie Ann Burdette (b. July 31, 1839; d. May 30, 1927) and had gone to Missouri to make his fortune. After buying his own team, he engaged in the mule and horse trading business, supplying the Union Armies during the War Between the States. His mother-in-law. Amelie (Emma) Naylor Burdett (b. March 19, 1819; d. October 5, 1896), lived with them, because her husband, Joseph Burdett, had been accidently shot when Sallie was a baby (J. S. Burdett) (b. January 22, 1813; d. 1839). Even Sallie's grandmother, Sally Pollard Naylor, widow of Samuel Naylor, lived with them for a time. By 1870, J. P. Hudson had bought a farm on the Bardstown Road not far from his father, a short distance further out from Louisville. It was in Jeffersontown Precinct and the Post Office was Jeffersontown. On June 21, 1870 his real estate was valued at $30,000 and his personal property at $5,000. Besides four children, his mother-in-law, an Irish farm hand, named M. Divine, there were five former slaves named "Aunt Mi" Hudson, and George Hudson (14), Lewis Hudson (9), Leonard Hudson (4) and Joseph Hudson (7/12), living on the farm. The children were Lynn Butler Hudson (b. November 20, 1858 in Missouri; d. April 19, 1942), Lytle R. Hudson (b. February 4, 1861 in Kentucky; d. December 19, 1914 of tuberculosis), Thomas Yates Hudson (b. February 9, 1866; d. October, 1950), and Jennings Price, Jr. (b. September 10, 1868; d. ,1925 (?). There had been another son, Willie Hudson (b. October 23, 1863), but he lived only a few years (d. March 4, 1866).
By the next census, J. P. and Sallie B. Hudson had acquired four daughters: Sankie Belle (b. December 8, 1870); d. April 11, 1953), Martha S. (b. April 30, 1873; d. October 31, 1937), Rose (b. February 29, 1876; d. July 19, 1927), and Eva (Eveline) (b. December 24, 1878; d. October 26, 1919). Early in 1882 J. P. left the farm in charge of his oldest son and moved his family to Louisville, Ky. First they lived on the south side of Jacob, between Floyd & Preston; then they moved to 1206 First St., near Breckenridge; then, to 1036 Third St. in 1896; then further out to 1710 Third St. (later renumbered 1518) 1900-1913, where he died. Afterwards his widow and her daughters, Mat and Rose, moved to Hiawatha Apts., 1048 Cherokee Road. Later Mrs. Hudson and Rose moved to the La Marr Apts., 1360 Castlewood; and Mat Hudson moved to an apartment on Eastern Parkway across from St. Joseph's infermery. Lynn B. Hudson, the oldest boy went to a Junior College in Eminence, Ky., where his Uncle John Banks Hudson and his future wife had studied together. Sankie and Mat went to a Miss Semple's school on Ormsby between 4th and 5h Sts. Rose went to high school and was the only one to graduate. The Hudson boys were in business with their father for a time and organize the Stockyards Bank, which was at Johnson and Main Sts. He had a branch office in New Orleans, La.
E. Jennings Price Hudson, Jr. married 1. Mary Green Arterburn. They had a daughter, Virginia Husdon (b. March 12, 1902). After a divorce, he married 2. Bertha Prats (b. January 30, 1888). They had a daughter, Verda Althea Hudson (b. August 11, 1917). Mrs. Hudson lives at 1829 Napoleon Ave. New Orleans, La.
1. Virginia Hudson married 1. Albert Prats (her step-uncle). They had a son, Albert Prats, Jr. (b. February 26, 1927). He lives in Texas (?). After a divorce, she married Harold Haverson (b. May 12, 1898). They live at 4827 Durdeen Drive, Chamblee, Georgia.
2. Verda Hudson, a graduate of Sophie Newcombe, married (?); after a divorce, she married Clement Francis Perschall (b. September 21, 1910, a graduate of Loyola Law School). They have four children: Margaret Lynn Perschall (b. November 3, 1940); Patricia Ann Perschall (b. July 18, 1944); Clement Francis Perschall, Jr. (b. July 2, 1946); Susan Mary Perschall (b. August 14, 1947).

NEW ORLEANIAN AN INVESTOR IN DERBY'S SUMMER SQUALL
LOUISVILLE, Ky.
New Orleanian Albert Prats is among 28 investors in Kentucky Derby horse Summer Squall. Prats, a 64-year-old retiree from the oil industry, invested in a package of five well-bred yearlings, including Summer Squall, in 1988.
Summer Squall technically races in the name of Dogwood Stable. A partnership put together by Dogwood President Cot Campbell actually owns the colt. "It's like an oil and gas partnership or a real estate partnership, but it involves horses," Prats said by telephone from New Orleans.
Campbell, an ex-advertising executive, said the partners paid $1.4 million for the horses. Summer Squall was purchased for $300,000 at a Keeneland yearling sale. He's a son of Storm Bird out of Weekend Surprise, a stakes-winning daughter of Secretariat.
The partners also kicked in a total of $400,000 for "maintenance" of the horses - training fees and other costs to cover all of their racing careers - and more money for mark-up, Campbell's profit off the top. He has no share in the horses but calls the shots for the partnership. "I can ship this horse to China if I want to," he said, as Summer Squall was cooled out after galloping Monday at Churchill Downs. Also, Campbell profits more if the horses are able to win enough to cover the partners' investment.
Campbell's first package of horses for a partnership was put together in about 1978, he said. "No one had ever done this, and no one had ever thought it would succeed," he said. "They thought I was a big lunatic, that it would be impossible to control the people, that sort of thing." Now, he said, about 200 people from across the country have invested in horses through partnerships formed by him. "It's kind of real speculative," Prats said. "It's a long shot, to say the least. "It's fun, particularly when you've got a horse like this."
He said he'll be at the Derby - the first time he'll see Summer Squall run in person. "It's something beyond my wildest imagination, to be perfectly honest," he said.
