[Captain John Bunch.ged]
Henry HUDSON I - b. about 1500, England; d. 1555. One source styles
the father of Henry and William HUDSON as 'Henry HUDSON, Gent., Alderman
of London, Lord of Manors, etc.' Henry was probably a member of the
Muscovy Company, or Association of Merchant Adventurers, which Sebastian
CABOT founded by 1553. The Company, chartered in 1555, sought a northern
route to China, either easterly or westerly.
Although the Hudson Coat of Arms has changed over the years, the
oldest known Hudson Coat of Arms consists of Three Lions in the Rampant
position with three boars heads as supporting badges. The symbolism of
the lions signifies rearing with strength, courage and loyalty as
character traits. My research into heraldry did indicate that three lions
on a coat of arms is very rare but to date I have not uncovered the
significance. The boars' heads were badges that suggested allegiance to
the royalarms of King Richard III. King Richard III utilized boars heads
as his identifying badges to signify bravery and perseverance. Possibly,
the three lions rampant is significant in identifying with King Richard
III also.
The arms of Gentleman Henry Hudson (1st generation recorded here) are
described as "argent,semee of fleurs de lis gules, a cross engrailed
sable. The early Hudson colonists in Virginia utilized a variation of
this arms to mark livestock, lending credence to the relationship to
Henry.
