From the Valdo James Smith Research document, The Sudburys of Virginia and Tennessee.
DAVID R. SUDBURY was born about 1790 in Virginia. He is known to us only
through an 1850 census record for William J. Sudbury, who may have been his son.
The census record, for Williamson County, Tennessee, shows David, age 60, living
with William and his family. The supposition that David is the son of David Sudbury
(entry 14) derives from the correspondence of their first names, and also from the fact
that the entries for the elder David Sudbury in 1810 and 1820 each list an unidentified
white male born during a range of years which includes 1790, the birth year of David
R. Sudbury.
It is not impossible that David might have been the son of William Sudbury (entry 16).
The year 1790 would have been between the birth years of William's second son,
Ezekiel, and his third son, William D. Sudbury. Also, the census record for William
J. Sudbury shows David R. to have been living in Williamson County, Tennesee,
where all of the elder William Sudbury's sons ended up settling.
