Notes - REFN: 886
[Captain John Bunch.ged]
Richard Hudson, I was born in Tamsworth, 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
asbeing 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 wasa coastal trader from transporting records
from 1642. SOURCE: Mr. Van Hudson's website at
http://pages.prodigy.net/vanhudson/hudson5.htm .
Mary Hayes wasRichard'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. (Iapologize 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 Co., VA, Mrs. Mary HAYES. Married third 1652, Accomack Co., VA,
Barbara JACOBS.
Richard Hudson was born 1605 in Tamsworth, 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. Thereis 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
