Skudders/Scudders appear to have orginated from North West, Kent, possibly from Friesian/Danish/Scandinavian immigrants (see our Heritage) and moved to London, Essex, Surrey, Worcestershire and other Counties, eventually emigrating all over the world, principally to Massachussetts in the early 1600's, and later to Australia and New Zealand, and beyond. Scudder descendants include Presidents of the United States of America and the famous Scudder Medical Missioniaries who travelled to Vellore,Tamil Nadu, India, and founded the Christian Medical Centre there.
The Skudder Family association with the towns on the River Darent and in North West, Kent, goes back to before the 1400's.
Getting back to our roots? My Dentist asked if I was a Viking? Why? he says because I have typically Norwegian Teeth, very deep rooted!!
