Capt. John Tudor, Sr.

Note: lack of Anglican records might need DNA test project with other Tudors to identify which Tudor family he belongs to. Going by status in New York possibly high status Tudor family of education. My 9th grandfather. DNA test solved who my 5th grandparents are. We need direct male or Mitochondrial DNA line from high status Tudor to match with a descendant of this line sound far fetch and expensive but has been done before like king Richard 3rd skeleton for his royal reburial, 17th nephew of Richard 3rd made his coffin and King Richards distant niece was also there for his reburial. There's tiny suspicious hints John Tudor came from the Tudor dynasty family but lack of records it's cold trail.

NEW YORK CITY, NEWPORT, AND BERMUDA

Henry B. Hoff

In late 1674 John Tudor arrived in New York City. During the next thirty-four

years, he was to make a name for himself as a lawyer and office holder. [1] As with

other English families there, identifying his family has been severely hampered by

the lack of surviving Anglican church records. However, the records that do

survive, when studied with records from Barbados, Boston, Newport, and

Bermuda, provide the basis for a fairly complete picture of the family.[2]

Biography

From “Historical Society of the New York Courts” < link >

John Tuder (also spelled Tudor)

John Tuder was born in England around 1649 and appears to have emigrated to Barbados around 1670, moved to Boston in 1671 and settled in New York in 1674. At first, Tuder lived a colorful life, and colonial records indicate that he was accused of crimes such as running an unlawful gaming house, selling strong drink without a license and resisting inspection of his premises.

Tuder was one of the first lawyers in New York but whether his legal training took place in England or in the colonies is not clear. He also held several official positions in New York including Advocate General in Admiralty, High Sheriff of the County and City of New York and Coroner of New York County. In 1696, John Tuder was appointed Register of Admiralty, a position that he held until his death.

Throughout this time, John Tuder practiced law and had a large civil and criminal practice. In 1674, he appeared as attorney for the plaintiff in the first action tried in the newly-established Mayor's Court. He staunchly supported Nicholas Bayard and Phillip French during the Leisler Rebellion.

John Tuder became Recorder of the City of New York in 1704 and presided in the Mayor's Court in the absence of the Mayor. He served in that position until his death in 1708.
