Wikipedia Description: Samuel Mudd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samuel Alexander Mudd, I (December 20, 1833 – January 10, 1883) was a Maryland physician implicated and imprisoned for aiding and conspiring with John Wilkes Booth, in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.

Early years:

Born in Charles County, Maryland, he was the fourth of ten children of Henry Lowe Mudd and his wife, Sarah Ann Reeves. His father owned a large plantation called "Oak Hill," which was approximately 30 miles (48 kilometres) from downtown Washington, DC.

The Mudd family valued education highly. At 15, after several years of home-schooling, Sam Mudd attended boarding school at St. John’s College in Frederick City, Maryland. After two years, he attended Georgetown College in Washington, D.C. He then studied medicine as a student in the University of Maryland Medical Department, in Baltimore. He wrote his graduation thesis on dysentery. Upon graduation in 1856, he returned to his Charles County home to practice medicine. The following year in 1857 he married his childhood sweetheart Sarah Frances Dyer Mudd, who was known by family and friends as “Frankie” or “Frank”.

As a wedding present, Dr. Mudd's father, Henry Lowe Mudd, gave his son 218 acres of his best farmland, known as St. Catherine’s, and built a new house for his son on the property. While the house was being built, Dr. and Mrs. Mudd lived with Jeremiah Dyer, Mrs. Mudd’s bachelor brother. In 1859, Dr. and Mrs. Mudd moved into their new home. They had the following children:

* Andrew Jerome Mudd (1858-1882)
* Lillian Augusta "Sissie" Mudd (1860-1940)
* Thomas Dyer Mudd (1862-1929)
* Samuel Alexander Mudd, II (1864-1930)
* Henry Mudd (born 1870, died at eight months)
* Stella Marie Mudd (1871-1952)
* Edward Joseph Mudd (1873-1946)
* Rose De Lima "Emie" Mudd (1875-1943)
* Mary Eleanor "Nettie" Mudd (1878-1943)

To supplement the income of a newly minted doctor, Sam Mudd became ...More...

1998 photos: Since 1984, I've lived in Silver Spring, Maryland. From 1981 to 2002, photos were taken using a Pentax ME Super camera. From 1989 to 2002, I was doing all pictures as prints (instead of slides which I had grown up on). In 1997, at the age of 40, my photo obsession began and I started taking thousands of photos per year. In September, 2002, I switched to digital cameras and the number of photos exploded. Trips this year: More Civil War touring (Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee), a work trip to Chicago and Louisiana, and family visits to Michigan and North Carolina. Image quality for my pictures is variable because these are scans of slides and/or prints at varying quality/resolutions. The Great Pandemic Digitizing Project: When I was first setting up my website in August, 2000, I had decided to digitize some of my favorite pre-digital slides and prints. The scans were fairly low resolution but they were good enough. With COVID forcing me to stay indoors, I decided to rescan ALL of my pre-digital images from multiple sources (slides, prints, and negatives) at a much higher resolution and quality setting. (I digitized Dad's slides at the same time). Instead of replacing my original scans, I added the new scans to existing pages, figuring I'd select the best ones later. As a result, multiple versions of images appear on most of these early pages. At some point, I'll take the time to do a final review and get rid of the duplicates.
