From copy of a book p. 491, title unknown, in records of Thelda Baker:
       "John Rude or Rood of Norwich, Connecticut had a home lot in 1679 on 'the other side of the Showtucket River near his uncle Leffingwell's.'  He married Mary_____.  He was in Preston, Connecticut in 1686 as was also Jonathan Rudd, and they were doubtless related.  He left six children, the names of two being known: 1.  John, (mentioned in John's notes) 2. Zachariah, aged fourteen in 1706, died at Preston, February 10, 1795, aged one hundred. . ." (rest of page missing, however on reverse side of copied page Thelda wrote:
       "He had a bounty for killing birds in 1718.  He was doubtless the furst or among the first of what is now Huntington, Hampshire county, Mass., originally the eastern part of Murray Field, incorporated first as Norwich June 20, 1773.  The older histories state that the first settlement was made by an Indian family by the name of Rhodes
