Person:Richard Hudson (2)

I.D./E-Mail: Place: 886

Richard Hudson, I was born in Tamworth, Staffordshire, ENGLAND to William Hudson and Alice Turner. He embarked on the Ship "Safety" August 10, 16__ 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, Tamworth, 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. SOURCE: Sandra Norwood <scha11549@@aol.com>
