JUDD The surname Judd is one of the oldest of English surnames, and is identical with Jude, an old and now almost obsolete personal name. Judson and Judkins are formed from the same name. Henry Judde, of county Kent, and John Judde, of Oxfordshire, were mentioned in the

Hundred Rolls of year 1275, and the family has been in Kent down to the present time. Sir Andrew Judd, dealer in skins and furs, of London, son of Lohn Judd, of Tunbridge, Kent, was mayor of London in 1550, a man of wealth and influence. He endowed a gram- mar school in Tunbridge. His only child was a daughter Alice. The coat-of-arms of this family is described by Burke: Gules a fesse raguly between three boars' heads couped argent. It is likely that all the Judds are de- scended from this Kent family. The only other coat-of-arms of the Judd family is plainly of the same origin and indicates rela- tionship. The Judds of Middlesex bear : Gules a fesse raguly between three boars' heads erased argent. Crest : On a ducal coro- net or a cocatrice wings displayed proper. The family was also prominent in county Essex, England.

His home lot was on the main street, and he was a sub- stantial farmer and an influential man. He was deputy to the general court several times.
