There were four girls – Lucinda ("Lucy"), Alice, Emily, and Carrie – and three boys – William, John, and Frederick. Mrs. Judge died in 1858 at the birth of the youngest son.

Fred Judge initially worked in Brooklyn as a clerk, and later was a merchant of building supplies. Six of the children were with him; Carrie was absent from the household – probably dead before she turned twelve.[2][3] The 1870 census shows Fred remarried to Jennie Minerva Burch, with the six children present. William was then studying law and John was at school.[4]

On September 16,1873 he married Winifred Elizabeth Holles (1852-1914), whose son Victor Dale Holles Stockell (1879-1924) lived with them. John was naturalized an an American citizen on September 13,1876. Victor studied law at New York University and remained in the household after his mother died in 1914. John was married for a second time in 1916, to Daisy J. Taylor.[5]
