James Clayton Hudson, Sr
Clayton was a WWII Veteran (with General Patton's "fake army" as a radio operator). He spent 3 years away from his family during the war, but he wrote letters back home to his mother and Aunt Plat about life overseas. After the war was over, he then came home to the Mars Bluff area of Florence, SC. He had met and married an Irish nurse, Marian McKeag of Belfast, Northern Ireland, while he was overseas, and she came home with him to be his wife. They had 4 children, Twins - Vickie and Ann, Clayton Jr., and Gene.
After the war, he bought some land with a house on it that was built during the Civil War. For years, he kept finding coins and other artifacts left over from that time period. When he would plow his fields, the newly-toiled dirt would turn up arrowheads that were made by the Indians that lived on the land that he ended up living on. It was a sad day when they finally had to tear down the old house and build a new brick home in its place.
Clayton owned a lot of land that he bought in the country and he became a hog farmer, had fields of corn and other produce, and worked at Cadillac of Florence for about 40 years, as an master auto mechanic. There wasn't anything mechanical or electrical that he couldn't fix.
Clayton was the first child of Johnnie and Nita Tennant Hudson, and he was born in Alcolu, Clarendon County, SC. Clayton and his wife, Marian, helped found Rehobeth Baptist Church in Florence, SC, along with another couple, a Mr. and Mrs. Bailey from the Mars Bluff area of Florence, SC. They started having Bible study at their kitchen table. The eventually had so many people and family members coming, they built a small church that has a stained window pane, and a pew in honor of Clayton, for his years of faithfulness, and loyalty.
He donated some land to Friendship Methodist Church in the Mars Bluff area of Florence, SC, that was the property that was next to his. He and his wife are both buried there, along with his mother, Onita Tennant Hudson.
