   Ambrose Dudley (1788-1823). [1]
   According to the Annals of the American Pulpit, 1860, in a letter from the Rev. James E. Welch, Ambrose Dudley was six feet tall, and had a commission as a Captain in Continental Army serving from Spotsylvania County VA in the Revolutionary War. He became a preacher and moved to Kentucky in 1785 where he settled near Bryan’s Station near Lexington. He was part of the great revival, which was most well known at Cane Ridge in Bourbon County.
