RICHARD, SENIOR, SR. NOT 'SIR'

http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/hudson/5837/

Records show William Hudson II was born in Tamworth County, Staffordshire, England on December 23, 1560. He married Alice Turner of Wessex County, England and they had five children all born in Staffordshire. All of the children remained near Staffordshire except for the fourth child, Richard Hudson I, nicknamed, “The Immigrant”. He was born in 1605, and at the age of 30, he embarked on the ship, Safety, bound from London to Colonial Virginia. He was a mariner and this was his second trip to Colonial Virginia. Richard and his second wife, Mary, settled along Hungars Creek, Accomack County, Va., about 60 miles north of present-day Norfolk, along Virginia’s Eastern Shore. His first wife either died or remained in England. He had seven children:

Richard Hudson II, was the third of seven children of Richard I. He was born about 1635 in Accomack County, Va.. He migrated to Henrico County and married Mary Bowman in 1658. He was deeded land by his father-in-law on the south side of the James River near the present-day Richmond. He had five children.

RICHARD, SENIOR, SR. NOT 'SIR'

Robert Hudson I, was the second of five children of Richard II. He was born in 1661 in Henrico County, VA. Robert married Mary Ferguson and they moved from Henrico County to Chesterfield County, VA and became know as the Hudsons of Chesterfield. He died in 1731 at seventy years of age. He had seven children.

Henry Hudson I, was the seventh child of Robert I. He was born in 1693 and lived his entire life in Chesterfield County. He married Mary Russell and six children were born of this union. Henry died in March, 1756.

Abraham “Abram” Hudson was the fourth of six children of Henry I. He was born in 1729 in Chesterfield County, VA. Abram married Elizabeth Tyler in 1766. This family evidentialy migrated to Greenville County, SC around 1770 as indicated by birth records of some of the children. Abram died in 1806 in Greenville, SC. He had 10 children.

About the Hudson 'branches':

Many researchers have divided the Hudson family into 'branches' originating with the original four brothers that settled in early Virginia. Of these distinct four 'branches' of the known Hudson family name, I have added yet another to ease research into following direct lines.

The original four are sons of Richard Hudson, II (son of Richard Hudson, I "Immigrant" and Mrs. Mary Tillman Hayes; b:c1634 VA d: 25 Oct 1669 VA) and his wife Mary Bowman (b:15 Feb 1634 VA d: 21 Jun 1690 VA) are:

• 1) James Hudson "Hudson's Of Henrico" (marr. a cousin, Phebe Hudson)
• 2) Richard Hudson, III "Hudson's Of Amelia" (marr. Mary Hall)
• 3) Robert Hudson, I "Hudson's Of Chesterfield" (marr. Mary Margaret [Ffarguson] Ferguson)
• 4) William Hudson "Hudson's Of Hanover" (marr. Mary Elizabeth Jennings)

I added yet another 'branch'. They are the "Hudson's Of Maryland" or as one researcher aptly calls them, "Hudson's Of The East Coast". They migrated about the same time as the above and stayed in the Maryland area of the United States. These folks are descendants of Henry Hudson, son of Richard Hudson, I "Immigrant" and Mrs. Mary Tillman Hayes, and wife Lydia "Lidda" Smith, daughter of Henry and Ann Smith. There is another researcher that has done a great deal of research on this line of Hudson's.

RICHARD married MARY HUDSON (born BOWMAN) in 1658, at age 24 at marriage

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.

• Accomac is County Seat of Accomack County, Virginia.
• Eastern Shore is that part of Virginia in the Atlantic Ocean; an extension of the Maryland http://hamelia.tripod.com/generations.html

He departed England on August 10, 1635 aboard the ship Safety bound for the Virginia Plantation. Richard I came to Virginia in 1635 as an indentured servant to Obedience Robbins. Court records indicate a dispute over a payment to Obedience which indicates a servitude. Upon arrival in Virginia he settled in Accomac. He was the first Hudson to immigrate to the Americas. Richard's first wife 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 I acquired two or more stepchildren and debts three times greater than the value of her estate. He owned land in Hungars Creek, one of the oldest settlements on the eastern shore.

As captain of his own ship, Richard I Hudson was a coastal trader and mariner. Early Virginia documents mentioned Richard as "a mariner in 1642, Captain of his own ship and his Mate Thomas Streete".

He traded up and down the Eastern seaboard. His holdings of land, crops, a mill and warehouse, and livestock indicate his activities were local as well. 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 I 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 on the rise at that time. Richard I continued to live at Hungars Creek, and after Mary died, Richard married a third time to Barbara Jacob.

He left a Nuncupative (spoken to witnesses) Will in 1658. Richard I died September 12, 1658 in Northampton, Virginia.

A few court records found on Richard I:

   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.) 

   Goodwiffe Robbins' wife 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 her slanderous offense she was "...lashed to the end of a canoe and towed over the creek".

   Richard I 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.

   Court records show the transfer of a minor orphan from the household of Richard and Mary to his sister in law Ruth Hayes.

   Richard Hudson, I was born in Tamworth, Staffordshire, ENGLAND to William

   Hudson and Alice Turner. He embarked on the Ship "Safety" August 10, 1635

   in London bound for Colonial Virginia. See website

   http://www.primenet.com/~langford/spls/635va057.htm . Richard is listed

   as being 30 years of age in 1635. Richard and Mary settled along Hungars

   Creek, Accomack County, Virginia that same year. Although some sources

   indicate Richard may have been in Accomack County earlier than 1635, the

   only ships records found were of the "Safety" sailing from London in

   1635. It appears Richard was a coastal trader from transporting records

   from 1642. SOURCE: Mr. Van Hudson's website at

   http://pages.prodigy.net/vanhudson/hudson5.htm .

   Mrs. Mary Hayes was Richard's second wife. He married Barbara Jacobs

   in 1652. At least one of Richard's seven children was by Barbara, and

   perhaps as many as three. SOURCE: Denis Briggs at

   www.kcnet.com/~denis/briggs/hudson-5.htm .

   Information about his 3rd wife is from another source and is not

   proven by this researcher yet. (I apologize for not making a note of it.)

   Richard HUDSON - was baptized Nov. 5, 1608, Tamsworth, Staffordshire,

   England. Son of William HUDSON and Alice TURNER. A mariner, he arrived in

   America in 1635 on the Safety, and settled first in Northampton Co., VA.

   Court records seem to indicate that Richard may have been an indentured

   servant of Obedience ROBBINS when he arrived in VA. Married first in

   England or shortly after arriving in VA. Married second about 1638,

   Accomack County, VA, Mrs. Mary HAYES. Married third 1652, Accomack Co.,

   VA, Barbara JACOBS.

   Richard Hudson was born 1605 in Tamworth, Staffordshire, England, and

   died 1659 in Northampton County, Va.. He married (1) ?? TILGHMAN in

   England. He married (2) Mary Hayes. He married (3) Barbara Jacobs.

   Richard filed a lawsuit against a Hannah Savage in 1634 who was

   apparently his employer. Many reports show Richard arriving at Hungars

   Creek on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in 1635 which in all probability

   is correct, however it was his second arrival in Virginia. Richard was

   supposedly married to a woman with the last name of Tilghman while in

   England. This marriage produced Henry, born in 1632. There is a great

   possibility that when Richard came to America, Henry was left behind in

   the care of others. Some researchers show Richard as "Richard of Seven

   Sons" however his verbal will references three children one of which was

   a "Girlie". Western shoreman Hudsons claim Richard as the father of

   Richard II who migrated to Henrico County. Source: William D. Hudson at

   www.familytreemaker.com/users/h/u/d/William-D-Hudson/ .

   RICHARD HUDSON's first marriage was in 1632 to a Miss Tilghman then in

   1638 married Mary hayes and she helped raise two step children. He owned

   land on Hungars Creek, owned crops a mill and a warehouse, livestock

   marked with a "fluer de leis", associated with the Coat of arms of

   Gentleman Henry Hudson. Henry and Nicholas Hudson also used the mark for

   their livestock.

   Last Will & Testament: 1659 according to the work of Roy D. Hudson,

   Richard continued to live in Hungars Creek and left a Nuncupative Will

______________________________

Born in Tamworth, Staffordshire, England to William Hudson and Alice Turner, Richard settled along Hungars Creek in Accomack, Virginia 1635. Although some sources indicate Richard may have been in Accomack earlier than 1635, the only ships records I could find were of the "Safety" sailing from London in 1635. It appears Richard was a coastal trader from transporting records from 1642. As a mariner, he arrived in America in 1635 and settled first in Northampton Co, VA.

Court records indicate that Richard may have been an indentured servant of Obediance Robbins when he arrived in VA. He was married three times.

Immigration: August 10, 1635, Ship "Safety" bound from London to Colonial Virginia. Richard is believed to have sailed from London to Virginia in 1635 aboard the ship Safety. He settled along Hungars Creek in Accomack, Virginia. It appears Richard was a coastal trader from transporting records from 1642 and that he was Captain of his own ship and his Mate was Thomas Streete.

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.

Other indicators such as a wife, ownership of land, crops and livestock suggest his enterprises were more likely local than transoceanic. We also learn he was well spoken and sharp thinking. His livestock mark was a "fleur de leis," a device associated with a Hudson coat of arms. The fleur de leis was also the livestock mark of both Richard's sons, Henry and Nicholas, of Somerset County, Maryland.

He had misunderstandings with his friends and neighbors over ownership of livestock, which did not affect subsequent dealings. We assume on that account it concerned bills or debts due, which were settled peacefully out of court.

Richard Hudson disliked Marylanders. The reason is not distinctly stated, however, the rivalry between Virginia and Maryland for the Chesapeake trade was well known. Other traders about this time were also having difficulties with the Marylanders. Religious differences too could have contributed to his dislike. Marylanders were mostly Catholics and his sons, Henry and Nicholas, were very 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. Additional studies show the Puritan Catholic political question at that time was rising to a head in England also.

The records reveal a few other facts about Richard Hudson. He provided a known place to hang tobacco and a place where people came "to beate corne," suggesting a milling site and merchant enterprise. He owned a dog, a gun, and lived near an "Indian Towne."

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.

One source indicates his children were "Girle," Richard II, Edward, Robert, Henry, Nicholas, John, William, and Charles.

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.

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.

Richard Hudson II, was probably born in 1635 in Accomack County, Virginia, and he died in Henrico County, Virginia on October 25, 1669. Various sources list the birth date of Richard II between 1630 and 1635. If his birth was prior to 1635 this would lend credence to the suspicion that Richard I was in Accomack prior to 1635 or Richard II was born in England instead of Accomack. Whatever the case may be, Richard II left Accomack in 1652 for the mainland and Henrico County, Virginia. Richard met his wife Mary Bowman and settled along the south branch of the James River on a tract of land known as "Roxdale" Children were Richard III (Hudsons of Amelia), Robert (Hudsons of Chesterfield), and William (Hudsons of Hanover).

Richard Hudson II, son of Richard I and Mary Tillman Hayes, was born in Accomack County, Virginia, about 1634, and died October 25, 1669 in Roxdale, Henrico County, Virginia. He was the first Hudson to be born in America. He married Mary Bowman in 1658. Richard was alienated from his father who was away at sea for various lengths of time, and after his mother died, Richard was apparently indentured into the care and control of James Bruce. After his servitude ended he embarked upon his own personal fortune. In 1652, he joined a group of people traveling westward into Henrico County and mainland 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 received, from his father-in-law Bowman, father of his wife Mary Bowman, a gift of land known as "Roxdale." The above mentioned records are also referred to in the Will of Richard Hudson II, made October 25, 1669, whereby the land known as "Roxdale" was divided between his three minor sons. Court records show a guardianship administered to Thomas Pauldon for his minor sons, indicating Richarch II and his wife, Mary, died leaving very young children, not much else is known about their death. The will no longer exists, due to buildings burning during the Cival War. Part of its contents, however, can be reconstructed from a deed made 1 Dec 1688. On that date, Richard, the son and heir of Richard Hudson, deceased, late of Roxdale in Henrico Co, stated that by his father's will of 25 Oct 1669 he and his two brothers, Robert and William Hudson, were devised a plantation at Roxdale then in the possession of Thomas Poland. It was the land which his father Richard Hudson, Sr had been given by his father in law Bowman. The land has escheated to the crown and had been granted to the three brothers. For 1600 pounds of tobacco Richard Hudson sold his share to his brother Robert Hudson. The witnesses to the deed were Thomas Cocke and William Cocke, Jr. Mary Hudson, wife of Richard Hudson, relinquished her dower. Three sons of Richard II and Mary Hudson; Richard Hudson III 1660, Henrico Co, VA, Robert Hudson 1662, Henrico Co., VA, William Hudson Aug 1668, Henrico Co., VA.
