Notes for RICHARD HUDSON:

Richard Hudson, born 1605, in Tamworth, Staffordshire, England and Christened in the Church of England November 5, 1608, Tamworth, Staffordshire, England is a likely immigrant candidate for our Hudson line. The line continued through His son, Richard, who also had a son named Richard.

Richard Hudson, son of William Hudson and Alice Turner, departed London August 10, 1635 aboard the Safety bound for the Virginia Plantation and settled in Accomac*, Virginia.

Richard's first wife's name is unknown, but he married a second time in 1638 to Mary Hayes, a widow about 30 years old. Along with his new wife Richard acquired two or more stepchildren and debts three times greater than the value of her estate.

Richard Hudson owned land on Hungars Creek (Hungars was one of the oldest settlements on the Eastern Shore*.), which he probably held from a very early period and appears to have been common knowledge.

Richard Hudson was possibly a coastal trader, for he is mentioned as a a mariner in 1642, Captain of his own ship and his Mate was Thomas Streete. His holdings of land, crops, a mill and warehouse, and livestock indicate his activities were likely local too.

His livestock mark was a "fleur de leis," a device associated with the Hudson coat of arms of Henry the Alderman. The fleur de leis was also the livestock mark of both Richard's sons, Henry and Nicholas, of Somerset County, Maryland.

Richard Hudson disliked Marylanders. Rivalry between Virginia and Maryland for the Chesapeake trade may have contributed, because other traders during this time were also having difficulties with the Marylanders.

Religious differences too may have contributed to his dislike of Marylanders, who were mostly Catholics. His sons, Henry and Nicholas, were closely associated with, if not themselves, Quakers. Nicholas' wife, Elizabeth Freeman, was a Quaker and Somerset County, Maryland, where they lived, was a Quaker refuge. Puritan and Catholic differences were rising in England at that time too.

According to the work of Roy D. Hudson, Richard the sailor, continued to live at Hungars Creek, married a third time to Barbara Jacob, and left a Nuncupative (spoken to witnesses) Will in 1659.

Tidbits of the life of Richard I

(from early Accomac Court records 1630 - 1660)

Apparently Richard I came to Virginia in 1635 as an indentured servant to Obedience Robbins. Court records indicate a dispute over payment to Obedience which indicates a servatude.

Richard sued a Mrs. Savage for payment of some services that were rendered. The court ordered her to pay Richard 600 lbs of tobacco and five barrels of corn. (Eighty lbs of tobacco were worth about one pound Sterling and a day's wages was about sixteen lbs of tobacco) (Deeds And Will Book 1632 - 1640 p.19)

Goodwiffe Robbins was brought into court for slandering Richard's wife Mary. Goodwife Robins' wife Alice received twenty lashes for this offense. It appears that Alice Robbins was a disagreeable person evidenced by the fact that she was quite often in court. For another slanderous offense she was "...lashed to the end of a canow and towed over the creeke".

Richard again appears in court over a disputed hog. It appears Richard claims it was stolen and could identify it by its markings in the ear(the same fleur de lis utilized by Gentlemen Henry Hudson). The defendants claim that the markings in the ear were destroyed when the sow was attacked by dogs. Richard claimed that the thieves cut it out. The records are not entirely clear as to how it ended. Copies of these court records are attached to the hardcopy version of this document.

Court records show the transfer of a minor orphan from the household of Richard and Mary to his sister in law Ruth Hayes. Copies of these court records are attached to the hardcopy version of this document.

Finally court records show that Richard snuck upon "..his Girle" and her boyfriend in a compromising position in the woods. It is not known if "..his Girle" is his daughter or a servant, but the description in the court records is amusing. Copies of these court records are attached to the hardcopy version of this document.

Notes for RICHARD HUDSON:

Richard Hudson II was born in Accomack County, Virginia, about 1632, and died October 25, 1669 in Henrico County, Virginia. He was married about 1658 to Mary Bowman and is believed to have been the first born child of Richard Hudson I and his first wife.

It is reasonable to assume Richard was alienated from his father and other family members. His father was away (at sea?) for various lengths of time, and after his mother died, Richard was apparently indentured into the care and control of one James Bruce.

He afterward, therefore, embarked upon his separate personal fortune. In 1652, he joined a group of people traveling westward into Henrico County, Virginia. There he settled among the Bowman families on land lying in a bend on the south side of the James River.

Existing Henrico County records indicate Richard Hudson II had received from his "father" Bowman, father of Richard's wife, Mary Bowman, a gift of land known as "Roxdale."

The above mentioned records also refer to the Will of Richard Hudson II, made October 25, 1669, whereby the land known as "Roxdale" was divided between his three minor sons. This Will is now among the missing records of Henrico County.

The exact time of his decease is not determined other than Court records dating the guardianship administration of his minor sons. There appears to be no further evidence regarding the whereabouts of Mary Bowman Hudson.

Mary BOWMAN - b. VA. Living in 1688. The Roxdale plantation may have come to the Hudson family through Mary. She was sister of Robert, William and John BOWMAN, and daughter of Robert BOWMAN, Sr. (d. Feb. 17, 1670/1, Varine Parish, Bermuda Hundred, Henrico Co., VA).

Notes for RICHARD HUDSON:

Richard Hudson III was born about 1660 in Henrico County, Virginia and married Mary Hall. In 1706 Richard sold his share of the Roxdale Plantation to his brother, Robert Hudson, for 1600 pounds of tobacco and left the area. He settled his family at Hatcher's Run, in what later became Amelia County, Virginia.
