Rudd, Jonathan and Mercy Rudd were married Dec. 19, 1678, and probably settled in Norwich about that time. His land east of the Shetucket was held by a deed of purchase from Owaneco, dated Dec. 10, 1683, and consisted of 100 acres on Connoughtug brook, and 108 acres betwixt Shunkhungannock hill and Norwich bounds. He appears also to have had other lands.

He died in 1689. In the distribution of his estate, his wife received £60; the oldest son, Jonathan, £117 ; Nathaniel and Abigail, each £58, 10s. "At the desire of the widow, Joseph and Richard Bushnell, Nathaniel Rudd, Thomas Tracy and Caleb Forbes were appointed overseers of the widow, children and estate."
