Information Notes - The Scudder Association has, in its 78 years of existence, accumulated a large amount of historical information on the Scudder and related families which it is currently taking major steps to make more readily accessible to its members. The great bulk of this information is in two repositories:
First, a 41-volume typewritten name and date summary (usually referred to as the "Soper Manuscript"_ of the descendants of the three principal English relatives who came to America in the early 17th century -- Thomas Scudder, who settled in Salem, MA, and John Scudder and his sister (or cousin) Elizabeth Scudder, both of whom settled on Cape Cod.
Second, a number of filing cabinets containing the backup documentation and proofs for the descendant name summaries.
Systematic accumulation of the information in these repositories was largely the work in the 1960s and 1970s of Edwin L. Soper, past president of the Association and, for many years, Association Historian, until his retirement in the early 1980s.
To make these two extremely valuable family history assets more accessible to Scudders desiring to explore their roots, the Association is currently computerizing the summary name and date lists and documenting them on the basis of the files and other resources. This work is being done by Janet P. Franks, San Juan Capistrano, CA, recently appointed Association Genealogist, and Bernice Gunderson, Assistant Association Genealogist.
Baugh, Nita. Scudder Onomastics.
(This title should send Scudders scudding to their dictionaries.) The origin of the name Scudder has long been a subject of much conjecture. It is an old one in England, the first known record of its use occurring in the Patent Rolls for 1331 when, during the reign of Edward III (1327-1377), a john le Scuder (John, the Scudder) was appointed customs collector for imported wine --- a half-dozen or so Dorset County (south of England) ports. (The French form of the name is not necessarily significant since Norman French remained the official language of England until about the middle of Edward's reign.)
With few exceptions, the main use of the Scudder name has been in the county of Kent. About the first recorded use there was by a Thomas Scudder of Horton Kirby in the Darent Valley who, in 1451, accused one John Moys, late a laborer of Horton Kirby, of breaking into his house to steal food. Thereafter, the name gradually became fairly common in and near the Darent Valley, often in variants such as Skudder, Skodder and Scooder.
The "er" ending of the name almost certainly indicates an occupation -- a do-er of some sort, as in archer, baker, or miller. But what occupation? Scud, a nautical term meaning "to run before a gale" is one possibility, although it is something a ship does, not a person.
The Oxford English Dictionary lists a 16th century usage for "scudder" as one who scrapes the hair, blood and grime (or scud) from hides before tanning. This origin also seems unsatisfactory; even then, the word was uncommon, seems to apply to a different social class from tax collectors or the early Kentish Scudders (who were small land-owners, or yeomen, not laborers), and appears to come too late to explain John's or Thomas' names.
Now comes a new clue. In June 1988, Robert C. Scudder of Kansas City, discovered a syndicated newspaper genealogical column by a writer of Dutch extraction captioned "If your names is Taylor, it is very likely your ancestor could sew." Among the sampling of names described was Scudder, attributed to English and Dutch roots and said to mean "shooter" that is, bowman or yewman (in reference to the wood of the yew used to make the longbow.)
The logic is that the Dutch work "schutter" (bowman) is pronounced with a "k" sound, as in Van Schyler, hence "skooter." Thus, the early John and Thomas could have descended from Flemish archers, perhaps recruited to help quell the Scots during the turbulent 13th century. By the early 14th century, there were numerous examples of Flemish immigrants who had married English spouses, not the least of whom was Edward III's queen, Phillippa of Hainault (Belgium).

Family History Note - Old Family History Errors
There are several old Scudder family history errors, some originating more than one hundred years ago, that still continue to raise their heads. Although all or most have been corrected in various issues of the Scudder Association Bulletin (published 1936-81), they seem to have a life of their own and just don't go away. This note is intended to call attention to them and thus to lay them to rest, once and for all.
Elizabeth Scudder of Barnstable is the sister of John Scudder of Barnstable. This claim remains unproven (although it seems reasonable). As staed on page 4 of this issue (see below), all we know of their family relationship (from the Rev. Henry Scudder's will is that they are both cousins of the Rev. Henry and thus of Thomas of Salem.
Scudder, D.B. Scudder Family in America: The Beginnings - An overview of what is known about the first two-three generations of American Scudders.
The first Scudders known to have come to America arrived during the 1630s, most apparently from Kent, England. They were among the large group of some 15,000 - 20,000 Puritans who migrated from England to the Massachusetts Bay Colony during the decade of the 1630s under the leadership of Governor John Winthrop, settling first in Salem, but soon spreading to the Boston/Charleston area, and to the Maine coast, New Hampshire, the Connecticut Valley, Rhode Island and the eastern end of Long Island.
Principally from England's central/south counties, the migrants represented almost all walks of English life, with a smattering of the aristocracy, the peasantry, and transported convicts, and a fair number of the landed gentry. Predominantly, however, they were fairly prosperous yeoman (independent small property owners from the countryside) and skilled artisans from the towns and cities. While united in a desire to be freed from religious restrictions under Charles I, what distinguished most of them from the vast majority of Puritans who remained in England was a driving ambition to attain a better life and a higher social station than was possible in their homeland.
The first recorded Scudder to arrive was Margaret who, with her husband Captain John Johnson and their children, came to the Massachusetts Bay colony in 1630 on the Arabella, flagship of John Winthrop's fleet, settling in Roxbury. What family relationship she bears to the Scudders who followed has not been determined. Since one of her sons Isaac, was born circa 1617 at Herne in east Kent (north of Canterbury), far from the Darent Valley where the roots of the following Scudders lie, it seems likely that the relationship is quite distant. So far, we have done no research on Margaret or her American descendants. [1].
The second recorded Scudder to arrive in America was John who, at age 16 (born 1619), sailed from London the ship James in 1635. John settled in Charlestown where he became a freeman (full citizen) in 1639. Sometime during this period, John apparently was joined by his sister (or cousin) Elizabeth. In 1640, John removed to Barnstable on Cape Cod where he founded a Scudder dynasty of which numerous descendants still live on the Cape. In 1644, Elizabeth, then of Boston, also removed to Barnstable, where she married (Judge) Samuel Lathrop/Lothrop the same year (28 November). Among their many descendants are numbered two US presidents and an unsuccessful candidate. Nothing is known of John and Elizabeth's parents: one (undocumented) source states that Elizabeth was born in 1622/24 in Groton, a tiny village in Suffolk County, East Anglia, ancestral home of (Governor) John Winthrop, a member of the English landed gentry. [2]
A third (or possibly fourth) Scudder to arrive was Thomas who is the first proven in America as living in Salem in 1637 with his wife, Elizabeth, and (presumably) their five children. Although this family's roots lie in the parish of Horton Kirby, Kent, in the Darent Valley, it is uncertain where they may have been living on the eve of their departure from England.
Thomas is a brother of the Reverend Henry Scudder, rector of St. Andrew's parish of Colingbourne Ducis in Wiltshire County, and the only English Scudder of sufficient prominence to be listed in the British Dictionary of National Biography. It is to the Reverend Henry's 1651 will that we today are indebted for our understanding of the family relationships among the latter three Scudders above. Henry explains them in his will as follows: "Item, I give to my Brother Thomas Scudder and to all his Sonnes and his daughter Elizabeth now in New England twenty shillinges a yeere. Item, I give to my Cousin Bridgett Giles and to my Cousins John Scudder and Elizabeth Lothrop now in New England twenty shillinges a yeere." The Reverend Henry's extensive landholdings in Horton Kirby (according to his will) affirm his Darent Valley roots. [3]
John & Elizabeth of Barnstable
Both John and his sister (or cousin), Elizabeth, came to America at early ages, probably below those of at least two of their cousin Thomas' children. One source states that John came with Thomas Ewer (age 40) and his wife Sarah Larned (age 28) who, with their two small children, are also listed in the passenger manifest of the James. Like John, the Ewers are reported to have settled in Charlestown, where Thomas died in 1638. In 1639, his widow is said to have married Thomas Lathrop/Lothrop, the older brother of Samuel, and removed to Barnstable. This story obviously helps to explain some of the circumstances of the removal of John and Elizabeth to Barnstable although, since it is undocumented, it should be considered speculative.[4]
In Barnstable, John married Hannah (--?--), probably about 1644, and they had five known children. In 1654, John was admitted a freeman of Barnstable. John died in 1689, being survived by his wife.[5] . . .
Elizabeth's husband, Samuel Lathrop/Lothrop is a son of the Reverend John Lothropp, former pastor of an "independent church" in Southwark, London. John was born in Yorkshire, 1584, and educated at Queen's College, Cambridge, where he received the MA in 1609. After imprisonment for heresy in the Clink, Southwark, for about two years with 41 members of his flock, he was released to go into exile in America in 1634, accompanied by some 31 members of his flock. Following five years in Scituate, the Reverend Lothropp removed to Barnstable with part of his flock, where he died in 1653.[9]
The Reverend Henry Scudder very likely knew the Reverend Lothropp quite well and seems to have corresponded with him after the latter came to America.* For example, the Reverend Henry kenw the married name of his cousin Elizabeth but (apparently) not that of Elizabeth, daughter of his brother Thomas of Salem.
Samuel and Elizabeth remained in Barnstable only a short while before removing to Pequot Harbor (New London), CT, where Samuel was appointed a judge in 1649. The couple had nine children, only the first of whom was born in Barnstable. Their third child, Samuel, is an ancestor of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Governor Thomas E. Dewey. Their eighth child Abigail, is an ancestor of President Ulysses S. Grant. Elizabeth died in 1688 and Samuel in 1700. [10] . . .

1. The information on Margaret, her husband and her son in this paragraph comes from the "Second Boat Lineage of Ralph D. Stoddard" published in The Dinghy, Vol. 2, No. 1, February 1989, page 15. In 1943 an attempt was made by Clarence W. Bowan in the American Antiquarian, Vol. 7, to identify this Margaret as the daughter of William Scudder of Darenth, Kent. Since there is evidence that William is an uncle of Thomas Scudder of Salem, this identification, if true, would imply Margaret and Thomas are first cousins. However, this identification has since been rejected by most researchers. According to the 1626 will of Margery Scudder, widow of William, William's daughter Margaret married a Thomas Stacey, who was still living (in England) in 1626.

Note on Sarah Larned Ewer of Barnstable, MA
In the article on John and Elizabeth Scudder of Strood, England and Barnstable, MA in our last issue (Scudder Searches, Vol. V, No. 2, page 3), the statement is made that we were unable to verify from our examination of the Strood parish registers that the maiden name of Mrs. Sarah Ewer, wife of Thomas Ewer of Strood, who accompanied young John Scudder to America on the ship James in 1635 is in fact Larned. We were unable to do so because we could find no evidence in the Strood register of Sarah's marriage to Thomas Ewer.
Since publication, we have received convincing documentary evidence from Bernice Gunderson of Long Beach, CA, that the reason we failed to find this marriage in Strood is that it took place in Bermondsey, Surrey, directly across the Thames from London. (Bermondsey is now a part of Greater London.) The relevant entry in the Bermondsey parish register is as follows: "Married: 1623-24, Jan. 13, Thomas Ewer to Sara Learned." The entry is published in Wm. L. Learned, The Learned Family (Albany, 1898). Our thanks to Bernice for clarifying this matter for us.
