HENRY MINOR DUDLEY AND LUCY ELIZABETH WALLER
This is a transcription of a letter written by Henry Minor Dudley
(1811-1883)
to Lucy Elizabeth Waller (1824-1878). Lucy E. Waller married H.M.
Dudley in 1849 and lived in the vicinity of St. Bethlehem and
both
are buried in the Dudley Cemetery.
I thought this too good not to share. I've attempted to
maintain the original format. I have some doubts about making public
thoughts
which were very private and emotional, but I hate to see this
"precious
document" lost. These are my great-great grandparents. Hope
they will forgive me.
Sept. 30, 1849
Miss Lizzie,
I hope the peculiar circumstances which I am placed in will be
sufficient
apology for this hasty epistle. I think it best to say plain simple
matter
of fact you know I have been hinting at something long enough and I
wish
a definite understanding between us. I do not wish you for one moment
to
doubt my sincere and undivided
affection. I have no pledges to make only one that is to use every
necessary exention in my power to make you happy for your happiness is
an important item with me. If this meet with your approbation you will
please confer with your parents before next Sunday as I wish your Pa
apprised
of it before he leaves. I have my doubts about a reciprocity of feeling
and if you are not willing to unite your destiny with me we will be
friends
and drop it.
Yours in haste.
P.S. I would be happy to hear from you.
Henry Dudley

James McFarlan married Elizabeth Stuart. They were
married on January 22, 1806 in Montgomery Co, TN. The source for the
place
& date is Elizabeth (Stuart) McFarlan's application for bounty land
on the basis of James McFarlan's War of 1812 service. The land was
applied
for in Hardin Co, IL on June 5, 1855 & is on file in Washington. In
the application Elizabeth McFarlan stated that she married James
McFarlan
on Jan. 22, 1806 in Montgomery Co, TN & that her maiden named was
Stuart.
We believe (but can't absolutely prove) that James McFarlan was the son
of James & "Margot" McFarlin (McFarlan), early settlers in
Montgomery
Co. Descendants of James II have much evidence that strongly points to
the them being James II's parents, but "absolute" proof is yet to be
found.
James McFarlin I died in Montgomery Co, TN in 1796. James McFarlan II
was
born in the Waxhaws on March 29, 1776 & died in Pope Co, IL on Dec.
1, 1837. He & Elizabeth (Stuart) McFarlan moved to IL Territory
about
1810 & settled in what is today Hardin Co., but all of James
McFarlan's
life in IL was lived in Pope Co, IL. Elizabeth (Stuart) McFarlan was
born
abt 1790 in VA & died in Hardin Co, IL on Aug. 11, 1863. Together
she
& James II pioneered in southern IL, where they operated McFarlan
Tavern
(now the Rose Hotel at Elizabethtown, IL) & ran a ferry across the
Ohio River from KY. The community which grew up around this site is
today
called Elizabethtown & was named for Elizabeth (Stuart) McFarlan.
It
is the county seat of Hardin Co, IL. Submitted by David
