Cudger, an African American man residing in Johnston County, North Carolina, was enslaved by Isaac Williams. Cudger's name was likely an English version of the Akan name Kojo, which was given to boys born on Mondays. Cudger's name indicates he might have been have been born in Africa, or born to African-born parents. When Isaac Williams died, Cudger had to testify before the local freeholders court because three other African Americans were charged with poisoning Williams. Apparently Cudger gave information implicating Dick, but the nature of his testimony was not recorded. Any further records regarding this individual have not been located.
