LA PLATA, Md. (April 30, 2011) — The College of Southern Maryland's Southern Maryland Studies Center (SMSC), located on the college's La Plata Campus, received a copy of "Mudd and Related Families" microfilm from the Dr. Samuel A. Mudd Society.
The historical documents, on loan to the SMSC, consist of 34 reels of microfilm relating to the genealogy of the Mudd, Beavan, Blandford, Boarman, Clements, Dyer, Edelen, Elder, Gardiner, Hagan, Lincoln, Matthews, Mattingly, Moran, Nikodemus, Piatt, Shocklee, Simpson and Spaulding families. The microfilm contains research material used by Dr. Richard D. Mudd, the grandson of Dr. Samuel Mudd, to write "The Mudd Family of the United States" in 1951. The SMSC owns both volumes of the second edition of this work.
The collection was brought to the SMSC by Danny Fluhart of the Dr. Samuel A. Mudd Society as a way to preserve the materials, said SMSC Coordinator Amy Richmond, adding that Mary Pat Berry, vice president of the Historical Society of Charles County, urged the transfer of the microfilm as it was being stored in the attic of the Mudd House.
Dr. Samuel A. Mudd is known for his providing medical treatment to John Wilkes Booth after Booth assassinated President Lincoln. The Dr. Samuel A. Mudd House, located in Waldorf, contains furnishing of the period and a farm museum.
Civil War era materials housed at the SMSC include photographs, letters and artifacts from private collections as well as books, microfilm and primary source records.
