Andrew C. Cude is the only living child of ten children born to Homer and Temperance (Lomax) Cude. The father was born in 1795, in Grainger County, and came to Middle Tennessee when ten years old. He first married Nancy Gordon, who bore him one child. She died, and he then married our subject's mother, who was a native of Georgia. He farmed in Hickman County until October, 1824, and then came to Perry County, locating on the farm now owned by our subject. He died in June, 1858, followed by his wife several years afterward. Up to the time of our subject's marriage with Martha Crudup, which took place in 1845, he resided with his parents. His wife died the same year they were married, and in 1847 he married Caroline Crudup, who died in March, 1863. Four of the five children born to them are still living. Mr. Cude took for this third wife Indiana King, in 1863. Nine children were born to their union, seven of whom are living. In 1853 he moved to the Lone Star State, where he resided until 1857, engaged in farming and stock raising. Since the latter date he has owned and resided on the fine farm of 500 acres said to he at one time the site of an Indian town. In 1864 he enlisted in the Ninth Tennessee Cavalry, and served until after the battle of Nashville, when he returned home, and has since followed the occupations of farming and stock raising. He and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and he belongs to the F. & A. M.
