Hudnall Family
FAMILY BACKGROUND
John Hudnall (I) was born Abt 1616 on the Isle Of Wight, England. Since John's parents died in England , he is one of the first of this Hudnall line to settle in America. John came to America before 1641 since he was married Mary in Northumberland County, Virginia about 1641.
Although some speculate that John Hudnall had two wives, it is generally believed that John Hudnall only had one wife whose last name is still uncertain. Webb and Partain are both assumptions for her surname. Col. James Edmonds Saunders in his book "Early Settlers of Alabama," indicates her name was WEBB. Banks McLaurin, Jr. indicates her last name was PARTAIN. John and Mary Hudnall named of one of their sons Partain.
John Hudnall's widow, Mary, applied for a commission of administration for his estate (he died intestate) at the November Court in Northumberland County on 20 November, 1659. John is mentioned in the Northumberland County Records on 20 July 1659. Therefore, the assumption is that he died between July 20 and November 20, 1659.
From the Northumberland County Orders, 1652-1665, p. 223, abstracted by Ruth & Sam Sparacio, The Antient Press:

There is no documentation that they actually used those designations. It is used here to help delineate the generations.
