Tschudi Family History

My many, many thanks to those that compiled and put this information on the internet, who ever you might be.

One site

http://www.bjpeters.com/bj/PS03/PS03_108.htm

has some letters and a will of Martins and this information
Baltimore, Maryland December 10th

Edward Quinter also told me of an 1802 letter written by a Schindler cousin of Rev. Blumer. The letter to Blumer mentions Anna Goldi, a maid for the Tschudi family in Switzerland, who was tried as a witch, and the last accused of that crime and executed in Europe. Her execution took place in 1782. Schindler mentions that Martin returned to visit the family in Switzerland around Christmas of 1801 and would be heading back to America after Easter of 1802. This confirms the information in the Schwanden family tree in the Landesarchiv about Martin's visit.

From an internet site I learned that :


Sissach, Switzerland was the Lace and Weaving Center). This is in Canton Basel. Martin mar. in 1730 in Switzerland to Rosina (known in W. Va. as Rosanna, which is German) Schaffner (Schafner) who is believed to be the older sister or closely related to the 2nd wife of Johannes Tschudi (son of another Martin Tschudi 1st. a cousin of the W. Va. Martin Tschudi-Judy), who was an emigrant in 1738 at the Port of Philadelphia, Pa. and probably came with his Cousin, Martin Tschudi, 1st., who mar. his first cousin, Elizabeth Tschudi (dau. of Weinbert v. Tschudi, the famous "Frenkendorf Schoolmaster").
And that : Came to American on Ship Enterprise in 173, and arrived through Port of Philadelphia on Dec 6, 1738. On or before 1760 moved to Ft. Pitt (now Pittsburgh) to do some trading with the Indians.
Martin first arrived in No. Mill Creek Valley between Pendleton and Grant Countys, Va (now W.Va) in 1761-1763. He bought 367 acres from Andrew Jackson.
Martin served in the American Revolution (was 68 years old at the time) by furnishing supplies to our troupes in both the French-Indian War as well as the War of 1776.


Henry Judy Sr. was a son of Martin Judy Sr. and Rosina (Rosanna Schaffner) Judy, who bought land in 1763 on Mill Creek, a little below the Pendleton Co., line. Henry Judy Sr. bought 46 acres from Joseph Bennett in 1788 and in 1791 he bought 160 a. from Mary (Cunningham) Ward, wid. of Sylvester Ward and paid $1667 for same.
Henry Judy Will, Pendleton Co., W. Va.

Dated 9-2-1822 and probated 6-8-1824. Ref. Will Book 3,page 213 or p. 278. Witnesses: Abraham Wise, Nicholas Lewis and Jacob Wise. Nicholas Lewis and Jacob Wise. Nicholas Lewis and Jacob Wise appeared and made proof. Sons: Geo. Judy, John Judy and son-in-law Peter Draise named Executors. Peter Draise qualified with Aaron Welton surety. Beneficiaries: wife, Magdalene Judy (wife at his death - 1st Barbara) to have one-third, of Movable estate: sons: Henry Judy Jr, Martin Judy II, George Judy, John Judy and Jacob Judy; Elizabeth (Judy) Draise, Barbara (1st wife) and her heirs and dau. Susanna (Judy) Goldizen. Provision for division among all children. (First wife) Barbara's oldest son Enoch Judy $20 when he arrived at age (21 yrs.)" Geo. Judy and John Judy and son-in-law Peter Draise qualified as Executors.

As I studied this I believe the statements the author made in parenthesis, "Barbara (1st wife) and (First wife) Barbara's oldest son Enoch" are in error. This Barbara was probably Henry Judy Sr's daughter. This would mean Henry left part of his estate to his daughter Barbara and her heirs (one of whom was her oldest son Enoch).


I was able to find this information on the internet about the von Tschudi family. I don’t know who to give credit to for getting and recording this information. This takes Martin Tschudi and his family back to Hans von Tschudi born 1546 in Switzerland.
