I. Jennings 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.

February 29, 1876; d. July 19, 1927), and Eva (Eveline) (b. December 24, 1878; d. October 26, 1919). Early in 1882 J.
