The parentage of Elizabeth Wales is most puzzling: Capt. Nathaniel Wales had a daughter Elizabeth born Apr. 22, 1747 by wife Anna, who died Jun. 29, 1750, bur. Jul. 1, 1750 (Ch. Rec.) and another Elizabeth born Apr. 13, 1755. "Elizabeth Wales, daughter of Nathaniel & Elizabeth born Apr. 22, 1745", says the original record. Nathaniel Wales had no wife Elizabeth, nor does the probate of his estate mention any daughter Elizabeth. It is possible she was an illegitimate child, but there seems to be an error in the Braintree records.

James1 Ludden born near 1611 in England, died before Feb.16,1692/3 ("Old James Feb.7,1692/3") when will was probated, was probably here before 1630 at Weymouth.
He is evidently the man referred to by Gov. Winthrop as helping him cross th e North River on a journey to Plymouth Oct.31,1632 as "one Luddam" their guide.
He deposed Jul.7,1685 aged 74 years. His will dated Oct.2,1688 mentions sons Benjamin, Joseph if he be yet surviving, and son James. His wife to be executor and have use of estate for life. His wife named only in the records in 1656 as Alice was mother of son John, who is not named in the will.
James Luddan fined 40 shillings for being drunk. James Ludan fined 10 shillings for drunkeness and Knight the witness shall be paid out of it, Mar.1,1635/6 - Mass. Bay Col.. Rec.
John Gurney, James Ludden & John Porter are remitted their fines which they forfeited for want of gunpowder - Jun.2,1641 -M.B.C.R.
He has been called an "old planter." In describing his return from Plymouth Colony to Wessaguscus on 31 Oct. 1632 Gov. John Winthrop said: "When they [the companyl came t~,~tffe -great (North] river, they were carried over by one Luddam, their guide (as the y had been when they came, the stream being very strong, and un to the crotch), so the governour called the passage Luddam's'Ford.... So they came, that evening to Wessaguscus where they were bountifully entertained, as before, with store of Turkeys, geese, clucks, etc., and the next c1hy [Nov. 11 came to Boston." (Savage's edition of Winthrop's History of New England, 1: 110-111.) James Ludd en is the only known man of the name in New England who could have rendered thi s service as guide.
At the General Court held at Newe Town, I Mar. 1635-36, the magistrates refer to a suite betwixte David Johnson and William Almy "concerning one James Ludarn sometimes [formerly) servt to either of them" in which a judgment of S5 was granted William Almy, but upon consideration the execution was respited and the parties agreed that the widow of David Johnson shall pay five nobles to Almy, and James Ludam a sirnilar sum. (Records of the Court of Assis tants, 2: 61.)
David Johnson probably carne in the Mary and John 7 1630, and William Alm wfta~arriving at Dorchester near 30 May, ~Igi _ '~n t Lynn-before 14 June, 1631, and the probabilitl ar~t James LuaTe-ii was living at Wessagussett at the time that the passen-gers of the Mary and John landed at Nantasket.. They journeyed overland through Wessagussett from Nantasket to Dorchester, ar-iivi ng at their destination near 17 June, 1630. He had three lots granted to him early, a great lot granted 2 Feb. 1651-52, and eight acres in the First Division and twenty-four acres in the Second Division granted, 14 Dec. 1663. (Weymouth Land Grants, 271, 281, 282, 283.)
He was to have 10 shillings from Cutshamache, who warned him to appear in General Court and then did not come to prosecute, 5 Mar. 1638-39. (Massachusetts Bay Colony Records, 1: 249), and the General Court remitted his fine for want of gunpowder, 2 June, 1641. (Ibid. 331.)
He deposed, calling himself 74 years of age, 7 July, 1685. "Through the great disease and decay of old age" he made his will 2 Oct. 1688, as follows: To his son Benjamin he gave 24 acres "upon or near that place in the Woods called Carpenter' s Plains;" to his son Joseph, "if he be yet surviving or doth yet appear to be living," two acres in his house lot and two acres upon the island. His son James to have all remaining, including his homestead. "If my son Joseph should never returne nor be heard of any more," the lands given him shall be confirmed unt o his son James.

His friends Richard Phillips and John Bicknell, overseers. Wit-nesses: James Humphrey, James Steward, Joseph Poole and Nathaniel Humphrey, Probate granted to his son,. the surviving executor, 16 Feb. 1692-93, James Ludden.
