Notes

He is frequently considered to be the son of Richard Hudson of Accomack County, Virginia, but there appears to be no evidence for that. Barring evidence that he was in Virginia before 1652, he may be the man transported to Henrico County in 1652[1]


RICHARD HUDSON - His will, dated Oct. 25, 1669 at Roxdale, Henrico County, VA names his three sons, who inherited the Hudson plantation. He married about 1658, Accomack County, VA. Book entitled "Ye Kindome of Accawmacke or The Eastern Shore of VA In The Seventeenth Century" by Jennings Cropper Wise on page 137 between March 11, 1651 and the next 30 days, 116 signatures were collected from the people of Northampton County, VA and RICHARD HUDSON was among them. (NOTE: Since Richard Hudson 1st did not died until after that date, this signature could actually be him or the 2nd.) SOURCE: Jennifer Hudson Taylor. Richard Hudson II, son of Richard I and probably his first wife, was born 1632 in Accomack County, VA. He migrated to Henrico County, VA where he settled on the south side of the James River and married Mary Bowman in 1658. Existing Henrico County records indicate that Richard received a giftof land, known as "Roxdale", from his father-in-law. These records also refer to a Will of Richard Hudson II, made October 25, 1669. The Roxdale land was equally divided among his three sons, who all migrated to different counties in VA.
