This is a transcription of a letter written by Henry Minor Dudley (1811-1883) to Lucy Elizabeth Waller (1824-1878). Lucy E. Waller married H.M. Dudley in 1849 and lived in the vicinity of St. Bethlehem and both are buried in the Dudley Cemetery.
I thought this too good not to share. I've attempted to maintain the original format. I have some doubts about making public thoughts which were very private and emotional, but I hate to see this "precious document" lost. These are my great-great grandparents. Hope they will forgive me.
Sept. 30, 1849
Miss Lizzie,
I hope the peculiar circumstances which I am placed in will be sufficient apology for this hasty epistle. I think it best to say plain simple matter of fact you know I have been hinting at something long enough and I wish a definite understanding between us. I do not wish you for one moment to doubt my sincere and undivided
affection. I have no pledges to make only one that is to use every necessary exention in my power to make you happy for your happiness is an important item with me. If this meet with your approbation you will please confer with your parents before next Sunday as I wish your Pa apprised of it before he leaves. I have my doubts about a reciprocity of feeling and if you are not willing to unite your destiny with me we will be friends and drop it.
Yours in haste.
P.S. I would be happy to hear from you.
Henry Dudley

James McFarlan married Elizabeth Stuart. They were married on January 22, 1806 in Montgomery Co, TN. The source for the place & date is Elizabeth (Stuart) McFarlan's application for bounty land on the basis of James McFarlan's War of 1812 service. The land was applied for in Hardin Co, IL on June 5, 1855 & is on file in Washington. In the application Elizabeth McFarlan stated that she married James McFarlan on Jan. 22, 1806 in Montgomery Co, TN & that her maiden named was Stuart. We believe (but can't absolutely prove) that James McFarlan was the son of James & "Margot" McFarlin (McFarlan), early settlers in Montgomery Co. Descendants of James II have much evidence that strongly points to the them being James II's parents, but "absolute" proof is yet to be found. James McFarlin I died in Montgomery Co, TN in 1796. James McFarlan II was born in the Waxhaws on March 29, 1776 & died in Pope Co, IL on Dec. 1, 1837. He & Elizabeth (Stuart) McFarlan moved to IL Territory about 1810 & settled in what is today Hardin Co., but all of James McFarlan's life in IL was lived in Pope Co, IL. Elizabeth (Stuart) McFarlan was born abt 1790 in VA & died in Hardin Co, IL on Aug. 11, 1863. Together she & James II pioneered in southern IL, where they operated McFarlan Tavern (now the Rose Hotel at Elizabethtown, IL) & ran a ferry across the Ohio River from KY. The community which grew up around this site is today called Elizabethtown & was named for Elizabeth (Stuart) McFarlan. It is the county seat of Hardin Co, IL. Submitted by David Howard
