Rev. Samuel Dudley

Samuel DUDLEY

HUSBAND:

[F3778]. Samuel DUDLEY.

Born in (1610-S?)(30 NOV 1608_S1,S2,S4) at (Northampton-S?)(Canon’s Ashby, Northamptonshire-S4), England; son of Thomas DUDLEY [F7556] and Dorothy YORKE [F7557].

There has been much debate among historians and some genealogists concerning descent of the Massachusetts Dudleys from the famous Barons Dudley of England. Suffice it to say that Rev. Samuel Dudley, oldest son of Thomas, claimed such descent during his lifetime and apparently was not challenged. Furthermore, Thomas Dudley was accustomed to using the arms (seal) of the Barons Dudley to seal legal documents bearing his signature. In fact his will, written with his own hand, was sealed with the Dudley arms, indicating that he was descended from the Sutton-Dudleys of Dudley Castle. It was a serious offense under English law to use arms under false pretenses. (S5).

He married (1) Mary WINTHROP (about 1632-S4)(According to the births of the children they must have married at least by 1633), probably in Boston, Massachusetts, thought in could have been before arriving in New England. The lived in Boston until about 1637. Between 1638 and 1640 the moved to Salisbury, Massachusetts. His wife Mary WINTHROP died between about 1641 and 1643.

He married (2) Mary BYLEY about 1643-1644 at Salisbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.

He married (3) Elizabeth [F3779] in 1651. Their children were born in Exeter, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, so they must have married there, or moved there shortly after they were married.

He died (10-S1,S2)(12-S?) FEB (1682/83-S1)(1683/84-S2) in Exeter, Rockingham County, New Hampshire.

GEDCOM Note

http://genealogical-gleanings.com/Men%20of%20Faith.htm#samueldudley

Samuel was the son of Governor Thomas Dudley of Massachusetts and his wife, Dorothy Yorke. Samuel was born in Northamptonshire, England and came with his father to New England when Samuel was about twenty. He married Mary, daughter of Governor Winthrop. Samuel and Mary had three children, while living in Boston. His first two sons died young. His wife died in 1643 and Samuel married Mary Byley or Bayley. Samuel was Deputy to the General Court in Salisbury 1641-1645 and held several other town offices. In March of 1648, he was appointed associate judge and in 1650, he became minister for Exeter in New Hampshire, having preached in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in 1649. Samuel's second wife, Mary Byley/ Bayley, died in 1651 and Samuel married for a third time to Elizabeth, whose surname is unknown. Samuel had ten sons but only his son, Stephen, had sons who carried on the Dudley name. Samuel died at Exeter in New Hampshire 10 Feb 1682/83 at the age of seventy-three. Samuel never made a will. The land was divided among the children with each probably receiving one twelfth of Samuel's six hundred acres. Samuel was probably educated in the Puritan denomination.
