Original settlers in the area that would later be known as Hudson arrived around 1672; the town was formally named Hudson in 1830. The records in this text, listed alphabetically, were obtained solely from three local sources: Annual Legers of the Town Clerk, Annual Town Reports and Kimball Webster's private records. The birth records list: child's name, sex, date of birth, and, when known, child's birth position in family and the parents' names. Hudson marriage records include male and maiden female names, and bride's and groom's parents' names.
