John Hoyle Rudicill/Rudeseal married Elizabeth Blackwood and they moved to Habersham County GA.they had a daughter named Naarah Rudeseal in 1823 but I don't know where she was born but I'm guessing it was in NC.It's possible that they married in another county.
I don't know when they moved to GA but they are the greatgrandparents of my step-father.
The name was originally Rudeseal and they are from Rudeseal, Germany.I have been there.When Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg Germany married Prince George of England, then lots of Germans emigrated to NC and Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, NC was named for her.
Blackwood is also a German name - from Bavaria.
