George Edward Budlong Ancestry
edmondsallan -- good morning to all. In reading thro the journals , I see their is a lack of imfo on George Edward Budlong who married Jane Elizabeth Edmonds. Their is also a story that goes with the imfo . Samuel john Edmonds was not to trusting of George E Budlong as he was a seaman off a whaler as already told. This future brother in law actually jumped Ship because , as he said , cruel treatment . The
" giant Tane Mahuta " Reckoned Jane could physically take care of any male if came to a fight as he could remember his father spanking her for knocking " Arthur to the ground " knocked out 2 of his teeth , when he he played a harsh joke on her . Apparently so the story goes , Jane did not have a sense of humour ,even if " Arthur " was far older at the time. 2 years after Jane settled down to married life , Samuel wanted to make sure she was ok . He packed a shipping trunk of goodies .He paid for one of his most trusted employees to travel to New Bedford ,America on the pretext that he would was trying to start an importing / export business there . The other instructions he gave to his personal representative , was to deliver the rather large trunk, speak to her & make sure she was ok . Another instruction he had was to find a good solicitor & pay him with the monies provided to look into George Budlongs Family and see they were reputable . He expected him to return & report to him personally ,within 12 months Besides developing business contacts, & other personal observation of Jane etc . His trusted employee returned passing over the records he had accumulated on the Budlong family ancestry History . This is it as follows .. The original ancestor of George Edward Budlong was a Francis Budlong ,. This was not his real name . He was Francois Boulogne b 1641 With a nickname of "Jaques " among his fellow soldiers he escaped with . He was also distanly related to " Eustace" Count of Bologne.France. He married Rebecca Lippitt. Both were murdered on their farm in Indian attack even though he had been warned to retire to the fort well before He did leave his children their before they returned to their farm .
