The Scudders in India devoted more than 1,100 combined years to Christian medical mission service in South India by 42 members of 4 generations of the family.〔"A Thousand Years in Thy Sight:The Story of the Scudder Missionaries in India", Scudder Association, retrieved 7/19/2007, not seen (Scudder Missionaries in India )〕
==First generation==

*Rev. Dr. John Scudder, Sr., M.D., D.D., born in Freehold Township, New Jersey, September 3, 1793, was the first medical missionary in India. He graduated from Princeton University in 1811, and the New York college of Physicians and Surgeons in 1813. He practised successfully in New York city.
He became convinced that he was called to be a missionary. He then became thoroughly committed to serving God through medical missions of the American Board, later of the Dutch Reformed Board.〔Heideman Eugene P. (2001) ''From Mission to Church: The Reformed Church in American Mission to India'' (Historical Series of the Reformed Church in America), Wm. B. Eerdmans publishing Co., Grand Rapids, Michigan, retrieved 7/11/2007 (excerpts )〕
Scudder went to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in 1819 and founded the first Western Medical Mission in Asia at Panditeripo in Jaffna District. He served there for nineteen years in the dual capacity of clergyman and physician. He established a large hospital, of which he was physician in chief. He was especially successful in the treatment of cholera and yellow fever. He also founded several native schools and churches. He later became the first American medical missionary in India, beginning more than 1,100 combined years of missionary service there by 42 members of 4 generations of the family.〔Waterbury, Jared Bell (1870) ''Memoir of the Rev. John Scudder, M.D.: Thirty-six Years Missionary in India'', Harper & Brothers, Franklin Square, New York, retrieved 7/19/2007

In 1836 John Scudder and Rev. Winslow started a mission at Madras to start a printing press to issue the Scriptures and tracts in the Tamil language. Scudder settled at Chintadrepettah (Chintadripet). He was in the United States in 1842-1846. In 1847, he returned to India, where he spent two years in Madurai providing medical aid. In 1849 Scudder returned to his mission in Madras, where he laboured till his death on January 13, 1855.,〔''Memoir of the Rev. John Scudder, M.D., 36 years Missionary in India'', ed. J.B. Waterbury, u.o (Rev. John Scudder, M.D. )〕
*David Coit Scudder Born on 27 October 1835 at Boston, Mass., the son of Charles and Sarah Lathrop (Coit) Scudder. He is not descended from John Scudder, but rather from a Scudder of the early days of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He married Harriet Dutton. Their children were David C. Scudder, Charles Scudder, David Scudder, Eleazer Scudder and Ebenezer Scudder.,〔John Scudder Family, Vol. I (John Scudder Family )〕〔(full text David Coit Scudder, ed. Horace Elisha Scudder, ''Life and Letters of David Coit Scudder: Missionary in Southern India'' )〕
He was an American missionary influenced in boyhood to go to India by the work of Rev. Dr. John Scudder, Sr. Scudder arrived at Madras on June 26, 1861. He was in charge of the large .station of Periyakulam. He was admired by the Christians of the large village congregations of that station. An enthusiastic young American, his emotions overcame him when he arrived in Kodaikanal in 1862, as he recalled:

"I . . . seized our United States flag, shouted out 'Long may it wave!' . . . at the English collector . . . and did other uncouth things"

David Scudder drowned as a young man in the Vaigai River 19 November 1862 between Andipatti & Periyakulam, 20 months after arriving in Tamil Nadu. Interment was in the old Anglican Churchyard, at Kodikanal.〔 The inscription on his headstone reads:

The Clancy and Scudder Scholarship founded with a legacy of $300, bequeathed by Mrs. Taylor of New York State to Mrs. Washburn, and transferred by Mrs. Washburn to the Pasumalai Institution. In January 1885 the Mission accepted it as the Clancy Scholarship. But it was not put on deposit until June of that year, when an additional sum of $400 in commemoration of David Coit Scudder from David's brother Horace E. Scudder was added to it. The two donations were deposited together as the "Clancy and Scudder Scholarship". It amounted to Rs. 1,500, and continued until 1906.〔Kennedy Dane (1996) ''The Magic Mountains: Hill Stations and the British Raj'', University of California Press, Berkeley retrieved 7/19/2007 ( Scudder, p. 128 )〕
