I know about him from my grandmother, Blanche Budd McFetridge and how she lived which reflected some of his ingenuity and intelligence. He was from a long line of successful philadelphians. They actually came to New Jersey in the middle 1600's and latter moved to Philadelpia. This early line of Budds were properous and trusted in the communities with financial enterprises. The very earthe ly Budd's (four brothers ) came to America after their father, William Budd who was the Vicar at Montachute who had become a Quaker was imprisoned because of his change to Quakerism and persecuted and died there. Consequently, many Budd's of the descending generations have had the character and strength to withstand many hardships in business world and in there communities. George Knight Budd epitomizes the integrity of his ancestors and of his descendants. I have more concrete facts about George Knight Budd and copies of paintings of him and his wife.
