Person:Joseph Ludlum (1)

Disambiguation

Joseph Ludlum is thought by some to have married Elizabeth Townsend, but other sources including "North American Family Histories" and "Long Island Genealogies" have his wife as Elizabeth Ryder, daughter of Thomas Ryder of Southold and Abigail Terry. It was Joseph's brother, Charles Ludlum that married Elizabeth Townsend.
