Revision as of 16:01, 4 November 2008
Judd Drew was born around 1855 in Franklin County, New York. He moved to Eugene before 1910. He had a wife, Lucyetta Briggs Clark Shearer. The 1910 census states they were married for seven years by that time. She supposedly never divorced her husband James Henry Shearer and shows up in a census with him for St. Lawrence County, New York, 1900. Both Judd and her were on their second marriage though she had married Clinton Clark in 1877. She died on November 14, 1918.
The obituary of Judd Drew who passed Nov 1, 1940 in Eugene says his daughter was a Mrs W.A. HORN of Eugene. Judd had a first wife in 1900 named Eva Captola BRIGGS. They were married in Dickinson, Franklin County, NY. A daughter named Mina was born in 1876.
From the Oregon Death Index:
Mina C. HORN died October 20, 1961 Lincoln Co., Oregon death certificate # 12725 age 84
The Death Certificate number 267, which may identify more information on him, especially if his daughter was source of his information. If you have the obit, does it contain enough information to you to say without doubt that this is the correct Judd Drew that you seek? This person would be about 90 to 92 if he is the same person.
The 1910 Census for Zumwalt, Lane County, Oregon, owned at 674 West Sixth St. Judd S. Drew, born New York, to both parents born in Vermont, age 60 (1849/1850), second marriage, married 7 years. Etta L., 52, born New York to both parents born in New York. Her second marriage. --This has the criteria as you had written. The additional criteria of the place of birth of his parents, leads to:
The 1860 Census for Brandon, Franklin, New York William Drew, age 40, born in Vermont M ? , age 40, born in Vermont Juliann? 18 Charles 15 Judson, 12 Schyler 8 S? 8, Male, twin with above Jerome 7 Fred 4 Nella 9/12 --There is also a Judson Drew age 12 in Schodack, Rensselaer Co, NY son of Daniel Drew 51 and Eve 50. No place of birth shown for them.

I looked in the 1930 Census for ANY Horn living in Oregon in 1930. I looked for any female living with/married to any W.A. A.W. Any of the correct possible age. (If she was born in 1925, she was to young). I found no person having any possible criteria to be his daughter. Did the obit indicated she was LIVING in Oregon, or could she have been in New York, or any other state?
Obit says one daughter named Mrs W.A. HORN. Who was she and where are the descendants. I am the great great grandson of his companion Lucetta DREW of Dickinson Franklin county NY. She died in 1918.
