Johann Jacob Rudisill (1750-1810) was a judge in Hanover, York County, Pennsylvania, who married Anna Eva Huppert in 1772 and served as a first lieutenant in the 6th Battalion, 2nd Company of the York County Militia during the American Revolutionary War. Ironically after being elected as a York County coroner, Judge Rudisill died in a sleighing accident, which was covered by an article in the December 15, 1810 issue of the York Recorder.
