"I, David Judy, of County of Clark and state of Kentucky, being weak body, etc. I appoint my wife Jane my sole Executrix to have entire estate until my youngest daughter Elizabeth become of age or until the death of my wife Jane, then the whole estate to be equally divided among my heirs that is to say. I give to my oldest daughter Nancy Paces' children her part of my estate which is 1/9th. To daughter Jane Dean's children her part or 1/9. To son Martin Judy or his children should he have any heirs equal part and to each to my sons and daughters: David, Mary Ann(,) Malinda; Henry Clay; James Franklin and Elizabeth heir equal 1/3. But if my wife Jane should remarry then she should have 1/3 part of my estate and an immediate division, the other 2/3 of my whole estate be made among my heirs according to above request. 15 July 1834. David Judy (his mark)." (Clark County, Kentucky Wills, 1834.)
"David Tschudi (Tschudy) Juday-Judy was born in 1772 in Chester County, Pennsylvania. He died 7-25-1834, in Clarke County, Kentucky and is buried there. He was the son of Martin Tschudy, 2nd and Anna (Boni) Tschudy. David was the 3rd child born in America. In some records his family name was spelled "Judah," like his older brother Samuel (Judy) Judah. David Judy made the famous "trek" from Pennsylvania via of Harper's Ferry, Virginia and up the South Branch valley of the Potomac River of Virginia (which part is now West Virginia) and then through the mountains to the east side in Virginia and southward to Fort Hatfield near Big Stone Gap (now in Giles County, Virginia) and on to Montgomery and Clarke Counties, Kentucky. This "trek" started in 1785 and ended in 1791. His genealogical records are difficult because there were one or more other kinsmen in West Virginia and Maryland with the same name. Reliable records show that one David (Judy) Judah had a wife named Catherine (Jane?) Fitz and that he enlisted in the War of 1812 - 14 at Baltimore, Maryland on 8-15-1814 with rank of Pvt. However, there is another record showing him with rank of Lieut. in 1817. (For Ref. See p. 64 of Vol. 15, Beverly Fleet - King and Queen Counties, Virginia. This record shows David Judah in Capt. Richard Corbin's Co. in 1812; page 57 shows David Judah.) If this David is the son of Martin Tschudy, 2nd, then it is probable that he married twice. In the U. S. Census of 1810 and 1820 in Clarke County, Kentucky, he is shown in 1810 with a wife and 4 children; in 1820 with a wife and 9 children and one negro slave. The probate records of Clarke County, Kentucky show David's will, inventory and settlement of his estate. The will was dated 7-15-1834 and probated in August 1934. An old record shows he died 7-25-1834. In his will, he mentions the names of his wife, Jane Judy; his eldest daughter, Nancy (Judy) Pace's (married Edward Pace 9-5-1825) children; daughter Elizabeth Ann Judy; his daughter Malinda (Judy) Ford's children; his daughter Jane (Judy) Dean's children and the following sons: Martin Judy; David (Jackson) Judy; Henry Clay Judy; James Franklin Judy (believed to be the ancestor of many Harrison County, Kentucky people) and other daughters named Mary Ann Judy and Elizabeth (Betty) Judy, who married 6-19-1847 Thomas Staples and moved to Missouri. Rev. Arthur Markley Judy (deceased), Pastor in 1900 of the Unitarian Church of Davenport, Iowa and who also made a tour of Switzerland in 1899, names in his records the following sons with some plain remarks: Martin, David Jackson, James Franklin, and Henry Clay Judy."
