Note for: John Budd Scudder, ABT 1764 - Index

Individual Note:
John Budd Scudder, the grandson of a Revolutionary War sergeant, had set up a general store there with his son Charles — apparently at the site and in the original building where Cow Harbor Inn is now located — and on April 15, 1820, Charles was appointed postmaster of the new "Crabmeadow" Post Office established there. The main building was the Scudders' residence, says Sammis, "attached to it on the east was a long building which was used as a general store," she claims, and notes an advertisement of 1825 of JB Scudder and Son at The Hook.

Note for: Henry Scudder, ABT 1560 - 5 NOV 1595 Index

Occupation:
     Place:   Carpenter

Individual Note:
     The Scudders, the prevailing and most recent theories identify a family long seated in Kent in England, and in the early 17th century, especially in Darenth. This town or village was quite near London, and is perhaps part of the metropolis today.
      On the Darent River, between at least two sites of Roman ruins, Darenth would not be an isolated and rustic village, but constantly in touch with events in London.

Note for: Thomas Scudder, ABT 1586 - 30 SEP 1657 Index

Burial:
     Date:   30 SEP 1658
     Place:   Strood, Kent, Eng

Burial:
     Date:   1658
     Place:   Salemmass.

Individual Note:
     Thomas Scudder appears to have lived a comparatively quiet, and presumably pious, life for 20 years in Salem. There is some suggestion that he lived in Plymouth until 1642, while other historians affirm his presence from at least 1636 in Salem. That he would be in Plymouth seems unlikely as the Plymouth pilgrims resented the intrusion of the Bay colony.
It is less likely that John and Mary (King) Scudder would have met, married and set up a household by 1642 unless the opportunity had existed for their getting to know one another some time before then. A peculiarity is that while his wife, Elizabeth, is listed as a member of the church in 1640, none seem to indicate that Thomas Scudder was either a member of the Salem church or a freeman of the town. This, considering the time, place and purpose of the settlement, is peculiar, and suggests the possibility that he was considered suspect in his beliefs. Since, on the other hand nobody suggests that he had any difficulties with either the religious or civil authorities, if he did not share his neighbor's convictions, at least he did not interfere with them. It may be that as simple a thing as his inability to produce evidence of having experienced a divine visitation (speaking in tongues, bodily possession, etc.) precluded his admittance. He may still have shared their convictions. The earliest mention of a grant of land is 1648. He must have had some place to live and conduct his business, and perhaps this later grant was made to his son, Thomas, Jr.
He made his will 30SEP1657 and it was probated 29JUN1658, suggesting he died early in 1658. The inventory of his estate gives no clue as to his trade or occupation, and if he was the brother of the Rev. Henry Scudder, he did not share in his brother's education as he made his mark upon the will. His estate was valued at about £74 Elizabeth survived him until 1665 when administration of Thomas' estate was passed to his son-in-law, Henry Bartholomew, and to Hillyard Veren "28: 9: 1665".
