Descendants of Martin Tschudi I

Martin Tschudi I of Switzerland is an ancestor of what became the Judy and other family surnames in America. The Judy family was joined to the Dawson family when Drusilla Judy (1800-1826) married John Constant Dawson (1798-1867). This is the reason that one of their sons, Martin Judy Dawson, had that "Boy-Named-Sue" middle name.

The history of the Tschudi (von Glarus, von Tschudy, von Tschudi, Tschudi, Schudi, von Clarus, Judy) family of America and Switzerland is fascinating. Their roots have been traced by to 870 AD to a serf (slave) who was elevated to nobility! The family became feudal rulers of the Cantons of Glarus and Basel in Switzerland. One family member, Aegidius Von Tschudi (1505-1572), is known as the "Father of Swiss History."
