Thomas Judd was born May 5, 1815, in Wilkes County, N. C., and in 1829 removed 
with his parents, John and Rhoda (Shepperd) Judd, to Wayne County, Ind., where 
his father died of malaria, in August of the following year. Thomas received a 
limited education at the log-cabin schools of his native State, and at an 
early age began working on a farm. He continued to work for wages till 1837, 
and Nov. 22 of that year he was married to Margaret, daughter of Henry and 
Sarah Oler, early settlers of Wayne County. They had no children of their own 
but reared a boy named Alfred Oler, to whom he has given a fine farm of 110 
acres. Albert is now Justice of the Peace of Green Township. After his 
marriage Mr. Judd purchased his present farm of 135 acres, known as the Riley 
farm, which was one of the first settled in Green Township. He also owns land 
in Randolph County, and has followed farming through life. He has transacted 
much public business, having been guardian to many estates. He is a Republican 
in politics. His grandfather, Nathaniel Judd, was born and reared in North 
Carolina, and was a soldier in the war of the Revolution. Our subject's 
parents had eleven children born to them---Jesse, Larkin, Tabitha, Elizabeth, 
William, Allen, Sarah, Thomas, Mary, John and Margaret. Jesse, Larkin, 
Tabitha, William and John are deceased.
