James T. Judd
James T. Judd, farmer, P. O. Streetsborough, was born on the farm where he now resides in this township, October 20, 1838, son of Orrin and Minerva (Blair) Judd, parents of six children: Cordelia, deceased; Sophronia, wife of L. F. Wyatt; Mary, wife of John Wyatt; Amanda; Watson E., deceased, and James T. Of these Watson E. was in the late war of the Rebellion, serving in the Seventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and died of disease contracted in the army after three years' service. The parents of our subject settled in Streetsboro in 1830, coming from Blanford, Conn., and here they cleared and improved the farm now occupied by James T., and on which they lived the remainder of their days, one of the first families to help raise the Baptist standard in Streetsboro, dying in full faith of eternal life. Our subject was reared on the old homestead, and was educated in the common and select schools. He was married January 26, 1864. to Huldah L., daughter of Ananias and Samantha (Squires) Derthick, of Bedford, Ohio, by whom he has five children: Nellie, Carrie, Mertie, Addie and Clayton O. Mr. Judd, wife and three eldest daughters are members of the Baptist Church. In politics he is a Republican.
