William Sudduth was born in Fauquier Co, Va 1765, son of John and Anne Sudduth. (So Margaret Sudduth, who m John Hood was probably a sister. But who was Massa Sudduth who m Andrew Hood?) In 1783 he started to KY with Charles Morgan (was this the son of Morgan Morgan and Catherine Garretson?), Thomas Brown and their families. They went overland to Redstone Creek, then the families descended the Monongahela and the Ohio, while Sudduth and Brown and some others took the horses and went overland. Charles Morgan settled his family at David McGees Station (Clark Co); Sudduth stayed with him three weeks then moved in December 1783 to Strodes Station. In March 1784 he made a number of surveys with Ralph Morgan (son of William Morgan and grandson of Richard Morgan). In June 1784, he started for home, overland to Maysville, by large canoe up the river to Wheeling, then overland to home. In November 1784, he started back to KY with his father and his father’s large family, arriving five months later at Strodes Station, then going on to Hoods Station.
