             Biographical note 
             Captain James Rudd was born June 13, 1789, and died May 8, 1867. As a young man in 1815, he volunteered for the War of 1812 and gained his official title of Captain. Captain Rudd moved to Louisville shortly after the war and eventually purchased large amounts of real estate, much of which he rented for income. In 1821, Captain Rudd married Nannie Phillips, and together they had thirteen children. Rudd suffered major financial losses in the crash of 1837 and later in a citywide fire. Despite these financial setbacks, Captain Rudd made many efforts to improve the city of Louisville, including helping with the planning and construction of a sewer system. He also represented Louisville in the state legislature, serving alongside two of his brothers: Dr. Christopher Rudd for Washington County, and Major Richard Rudd for Bardstown and Nelson Counties. 
             Towards the end of Captain Rudd's life, there was some strain between him and his son, James C. Rudd, over finances. James C. resided in Owensboro, the county seat of Daviess County, Kentucky, and owed his father a large amount of money. Captain Rudd took legal action in Daviess County, and James C. repaid his father a few months before Captain Rudd's death. Anna Rudd was Captain Rudd’s youngest living daughter. She was unmarried, and studying in Italy at the time of her father’s death.
