Unsure of the exact date of birth. Listed in the Sallie DeWitt 1981 genealogy as "179?". According to the Sallie DeWitt Genealogy (page 68B), he was interred at the Coal Cemetery in Chismville, Logan County, Arkansas. According to the "History of Benton, Washington, Carroll, Madison, Crawford, Franklin, and Sebastian Counties, Arkansas"; published in Chicago; by the Goodspeed Publishing Company in 1889, page 1248 (Ft. Smith, Arkansas Public Library), Stephen Hudson was a native of Virginia, and after he married Martha Ragsdale he moved to Limestone County, Alabama and located on a farm. The 1860 census, annotated by Will Johnson on freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com, states that he was from Limestone County Alabama. This may mean that he spetn time there, but was actually born in VA , like the Goodspeed book says. The 1860 census also puts his birth date at closer to 1790, rather than 1975 as the Goodspeed book says. In 1852 he went to Arkansas and settled on a farm in Franklin County.
