The following biographical sketch appears in The County of Highland by Rev. J. W. Klise, A. E. Hough (editor) [Madison, Wisc.: Northwestern Historical Association (1902)] [available on Google Books]:
[p. 354] Eugene S. Judkins, M. D., of Highland, Ohio, is the latest representative of a distinguished family of physicians who have been known for more than a century in different states. The records do not mention a time when there was not a physician in the family and there has been a Dr. Judkins at Highland since the second decade of the nineteenth century. For the purposes of this sketch the ancestral tree will be traced no farther back than to James Judkins, who was born April 8, 1760, in Northampton county, N. C. When fourteen years of age he was placed with Sampson Stanton of Southampton county, Va., to learn the hatter's trade, and while there became acquainted with a young girl named Martha, a grand-daughter of Sampson and daughter of Sylvanus Stanton, whose wife was a member of the noted Virginia family of Stewarts. October 19, 1783, James Judkins and Martha Stanton were married, after which event the husband returned to his native state and began business as a hat manufacturer. After becoming the mother of six children, Mrs. Judkins died at her North Carolina home, October 14, 1799, and being a member of the Society of Friends, her remains were deposited in the burying ground of that order at the town of Rich Square. January 21, 1801, James Judkins was married to Abigail Parker, and five years later located at Mount Pleasant, Ohio, where he lived until his death in November, 1823. By his second marriage he had seven children, including Robert Peel Judkins, who was born in North Carolina, September 9, 1812, and became in later life one of the eminent physicians of his name. He graduated at the Jefferson Medical college of Philadelphia, the most famous institution of its kind in the country at that time, and in 1832 migrated to Ohio in search of a location. After spending a few years at Mount Pleasant he arrived at the village of Highland, Ohio, July 3, 1832, [Note: If he spent several years at Mount Pleasant, how could he have arrived at the village of Highland in the same year?]and the next day was drafted into service to help celebrate "the glorious Fourth" by reading the declaration of independence. Previous to this time, however, the honor of the profession and the family name had been maintained for some years at Highland by Dr. Stanton Judkins, a half-brother of Robert P. The latter lost no time in entering business at his new home and practiced his profession there continuously, with increasing popularity, both professional and personal, until the time of his lamented death, which occurred January 9, 1864. December 26, 1841, he was married to Anna B., daughter of Charles [p. 335] and Sarah Robbins, by whom he had four children. Gertrude, the eldest, was born November 7, 1842, married Henry W. Rayburn, a farmer now living near Chetopa, Kansas, and has five children. Emma, born in 1847, married William Harlan, a druggist of Barnesville, Ohio, subsequently moved to Kansas and has three children. Etta Bell, the youngest child of Dr. Robert P. and Anna B. Judkins, was born in 1864 and died in early life. Eugene S. Judkins, the second child and only son, was born at Highland, Ohio, in 1845, and was attending the Wesleyan university at Delaware, when his studies were interrupted by the outbreak of the civil war. Too young to be accepted as a soldier in the earlier years, he nevertheless chafed for action, like other young patriots of that day, and eventually succeeded in seeing service, which may be described as brief but brilliant. He enlisted in the One Hundred Seventy-fifth regiment Ohio volunteer infantry, which was organized in October, 1864, and sent directly to Tennessee in time to take part in the operations against Hood, which involved some of the hardest fighting of the war. The regiment lost heavily at the bloody battle of Franklin and also took part in the severe engagements at Spring Hill, Thompson's Station and Nashville. In the fall of 1865, Dr. Judkins began reading medicine under the guidance of his uncle, Dr. Jesse P. Judkins, of Cincinnati, and continued the same under other professional friends after his uncle's death. In the autumn of 1867 he entered the Miami Medical college at Cincinnati, and was graduated with the class of 1870. He first located at Toledo, but after a brief sojourn there returned to his native place, where he has since remained in the enjoyment of a large and steadily increasing patronage. When he "hung out his shingle" at New Lexington, the young doctor established himself in the old building so long occupied by his uncle, Stanton Judkins, which is one of the landmarks of the place, having been built in the first quarter of the century. The ancient door-mark, so long used by the Judkins family, now ornaments the office door of Dr. Judkins and is prized as a precious heirloom. The doctor is a prominent member of the Highland county Medical association and has done much to strengthen its efficiency and usefulness to the profession. He is not only popular in a professional way but is an influential factor in all public movements affecting his town or township, and it is not too much to say that no family in Fairfield has done more for its development than that of Dr. Judkins. A good citizen, kindly and skillful practitioner, and man who advocates progress in all departments of human endeavor, it is but a fair summary of the truth to say that Eugene S. Judkins is a worthy son of a long line of worthy sires. The father of Dr. Judkins was one of the charter members of Chosen Friend lodge, No. 45, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, which was instituted at Highland, June 21, 1845, and Dr. E. S. Judkins himself has long been a member of the [p. 356] same fraternity. He is also connected with the Masonic order and same fraternity. He is also connected with the Masonic order and is one of the most esteemed comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic. October 4, 1880, he was married to Mary A., daughter of John and Esther (Bankson) Savage, by whom he has an only child, Robert John Judkins, born May 5, 1887.
