Loudoun Co., VA List of Tithables for 1767 has one N. Judy in household of John Champe. As far as I can tell, this is only entry for N. Judy in Loudoun. John Champe appears to have gone to Hampshire Co., (present-day WV) about 1772, and I see there were Judy's in that area.

Any idea as to who N. Judy was? Could he have been Nicholas Judy, Sr., son of Martin Tschudi?

According to my research, the great grandson of Nicholas Judy, Sr., married Elizabeth Frances Champ (1873-1952) in WV.

Robert, I find your message very interesting. I am really interested in a find on Nicholas Judy (Tschudi). I have a Niclaus Tschudi born 1678, son of Jakob Tschudi born 1635 and Elsbeth Schwab. Niclaus, wife unknown had a son Martin I, born 1694, he married his cousin Elsbeth Tschudi, daughter of Imbert (Wienbert) Tschudi and granddaughter of Jakob Tschudi & Elsbeth Schwab. Niclaus seems to be very elusive in my search. The only record I have of him is through Immigation and passenger lists. What else do you know about Nicholas (Niclaus) Judy?

I want to thank Marty Hiatt, CGRS, one of the country's top professional genealogists and an author of many works on the subject plus until recently Executive Director of the Board for Certification of Genealogists (BCG), for explaining the significance of the "N. Judy" entry in the household of John Champe in the List of Tithables for Loudoun Co. VA, 1767. I thought I might have a clue to the later connection of the Judy family with the Champes...it was, after all, Ida Mabelle Judy who wrote the book "John Champe, the Soldier and the Man," (in which she confused him with his father), and there was one Judy-Champe marriage in WV in the late 1800's.

Anyhow, Marty should know. She was the coauthor of the work in which I found the N. Judy citation, ("Loudoun Co., VA List of Tithables, 1758-1786;" two volumes, 1995, by Marty Hiatt and Craig R. Scott), and she informs me that the upper or lower case N before a person's name in these lists refers to Negro and indicates Judy was a slave.

I am enlightened, but saddened, I guess.
