The materials, of which the present work may be considered merely an abstract, were collected by me some twelve or fourteen years ago; since which time my engagements have been such as to prevent my devoting the requisite time to their assortment and de velopment, until recently, by appropriating occasionally an eYening to the furtherance of the object, I have been enabled to accomplish thus much, which I now submit to the reader, craving his indulgence for such imperfections as may exist. One of the principal objects of the present enquiry was to ascer tain whether the Dudleys of Massachusetts, in New England, were connected with, or descended from, the family of that name in Eng land, some of whom were so celebrated during the reigns of Hen. Vil., VIII., Edward and Elizabeth. In all attempts of a similar nature, it should be borne in mind that the utmost that can be attained is to make the inYestigation as tho rough as the nature of the resources that are aYailable will admit, perfection cannot be obtained. Many discoveries and corrections of errors of former writers, both of omission as well as commission, may be made,-many may remain undiscovered, and some errors may unwittingly be committed in the endeavor to correct the mistakes of others. The genealogist, who is well ac-quuinted with all these diffi culties, \Yill be ready to make due allowance fur any errors that may exist; at the same time he will be gratified to find the correction of errors of former wrill'rs as sn much contributed to genealogical sci ence, rather than to find fault with such as may remain. It. might in some casE's facilitate the tracing of Pedigrees, did the custom preYail for females to retain their maiden name on their marriagP. \\~here the mother and daughter were of the same name, as for instance, Ann Winthrop, of New London, had a daughter Ann, both living to advanced age, ,.llld tli,,rc, w .. r" 110 111e·u11s of distiuguish- ..A n INTRODt'CTORY REMARKS. ing one from the 0ther, it is not sufficient to say that one was Mistress and the other Miss, for in earlier times the unmarried lady was called Mistress. Apart from this, how much better would it be to say Mrs. Dudley Winthrop, instead of .'.\lrs.

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. m the Heralds' Visitations, and some few of the originals. A vast fund of genealogical information is to be found in the Harleian collection; among other writers I would more particularly notice the works of the indefatigable Robert Glover, Somerset Herald, who died in 1588. His pedigrees are the most carefully drawn up and considered among the most correct of the genealogical writers of that period. " Those mines of historical wealth, the State Paper Office, and the MS. department of the British Museum."* Besides the "Inquisitiones post mortem," the parish registers and wills in the various depositories, are the most important records to consult. Of the latter I made a most thorough innstigation in the several depositories in London. It is unsafe to rely on county his tories or historical writers for pedigrees, unless when compared with original sources of information. When errors occur they are liable to be copied from one source to another, and very frequently are so found. In Blore's pedigree of the Sutton-Dudleys, though the most complete that I have met with, there are several omissions and er rors. The issue of John Dudley, say between 1520 and 1550, he states to be Edward, Henry, and George, and this error, like others, is copied from one writer to another, whereas by reference to the Will of Cecily, Marchioness of Dorset, dated 6 May, 1527, we find it to be Edward, Henry, and Thomas.f So also with the Clopton Dudleys; some genealogists commence their pedigree with Richard Dudley as descended from John Sutton, Lord of Dudley; others state that the Clopton Dudleys claim to be descended from the Lords of Dudley; but they do not show how, or in what way. On page 5 of the present work, I have shown the only connection that existed between these families, which was simply the marriage of Richard Dudley, in or ahout 1359, with the widow of John Sutton, Lord of Dudlc\L leaYing issue by that marriage a son, Richard; but he did not 11(0 <:ome a descendant of the Lords of Dudley by such marriage. Th(' succession to the Lord ship of Dudley was in the issue by the first marriage. Bridge, in his history of Northamptonshire, by \Yhalley, states, Riehard as descen ded from John Dudley, of Dudley, Co. Staff., Anno. 1360, but he does not say that he was John, Lord of Dudley. The Heralds' Visi tations do not give any ancestry of that family preYious to Richard. '"J. Lothrop Motley, Preface to History of the :li'cthcr1.auJs. t See Pedigree A. IV INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. The Richard who married the heiress of Hotot, was the son of the above Richard. It may be thought that Richard Dudley, tempe 1359, was of the Sutton-Dudley family, from the circumstance that the document quoted on page 5, from the Lansdowne MSS., styles him "Richard de Dudleye, Lord of Dudley," this however was only as being the husband of the widow oftht' late Lord of Dudley. In ancient times such was customary, during the minority of the heir. The coat of arms of tht' two families are totally different. If Richard Dudley bad been a descelldant of the Sutton-Dudleys he would have been entitled to the same coat of arms. Another palpable error occurs in Burke's Peerage, which states that Sir John, sec-011d son of John Sutton, alias Dudley, (who mar ried Elizabeth Berkeley, tempe Hen. VI.) "assumed the name of Dudley," whereas it was the father, and not the son, who assumed that as the family uame. His Will, which I examined, proves such to be the case. Then again, in the pedigree of the Dudleys of Clopton, he says, "John de Sutton, summoned as Baron Sutton, in 1342, a descendant of his, John Sutton, assumed the name of Dudley, and from him is statt'd tu have derived Thomas Dudlry, who settled iIJ Clopton, and was one of the Lords ()f Clopton Manor. His grand son .... de DudJc,y, rnarrit,d, in 1395, Agnes [? J anc J Hotot." The slightest examination \rill show the errors in this statement. The John Sutton, who he says assumed the name of Dudley, died in 1500; from him is stated to have derived Thomas de Dudley, and his grandson .. _ de Dudley married Agnes Hotot, in 1395. Thus we have, after three generation~, a marriage taking place 105 years be fore the death of the first named. 1 merely give these statements to show how necessary it is to take the " Heralds' Visitations," as the basis of pedigrees of early tirnrs. "\Vith respect to the assumption of "Dudley" as the family name by John Sutton, Lord Dudley, in 1439, instances of the adoption of the name of the title or lordsliip as thl' family name, may occasion ally be found. Thomas Aud!ey, Lord Audlcy, of Saffron "\Valden, and Lord Chancellor of England, Bishop Kenndt says, "in most old deedes called' D'AnYillers.'"

Having applied to her Majesty's Secretaries of State for permission so to do, I received the following:-* "Downing Street, 27 September, 1848. "Sir, "In answer to your letter of the 16th instant I am directed by Earl Grey to convey to you his Lordship's permission for your in spection of the documents in the State Paper Office, to which you refer, and I am to inforrn you that the ne<.:essary directions have been given to the Deputy Keeper of the State Papers for that purpose. "I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant, HERMAN MERIVALE." "GEORGE AoLARD, EsQ." " Whitehall, 9th October, 1848. "Sir, "I am dire<.:ted by Sec.retary Sir George Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your lettC'r of the 5th instant, and to inform you that he has authorized the Keeper of State Papers to permit you to inspect and have copie~ or extracts of such documents in the State Paper Office as relate to a family of the name of Dudley. "I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant, W. '\V ADDINGTON." "G1w. AoLARD, EsQ." "Foreign Office, December 13, 1849. "Sir, "I am directed by Viscount Palmerston to acknowledge the re ceipt of your letter of the 31st of October last, requesting permission to take copies of any Papers, Signatures, or Seals, relating to the Dudley Family, which may be- in the State Paper Office, and I am • It was neces,ary to obtain pem1is~ion from each of tbc Dcpa~tments, viz. the Home, the Colonial, and the Foreign. VI INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. to state to you, in reply, that Lord Palmerston has informed the Keeper of the State Papers, that he sees no objection, as far as this office is concerned, to your request being complied with. "I am, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, EDDISBURY ." " GEORGE AoLARD, EsQ." A .-ailing myself ofthE'•permission thus given, I proceeded to make a thorough examinatic,n of the various documents in the State Paper Office, taking copiPs of all letter,; and other papers that might prove of interest, or might aid me in tl1e investigation. The papers in that office being admirably arranged and in excellent order, and every fa. cility being extended to me by the gentlemen haviug charge of the State Papers, I deYoted myself eutin•Jy to the object I had in view. There is very much of inkrcst in the early times of this Dudley family. The first among tit11se of distinguislwd note was the Sutton who was created Baron Dudley, tempe Hen. YI., and who thereupon assumed the baronial as the family name, and which was thereafter continued by his de~c·Pndants. It is ~ornewhat singular, that, with the exception of Burke, not a single writer, either historical or gene alogical. that I have met with, has pointed out when this change of name took place. Burke, however, is in error as to the exact period. The historical accounts and the various pedigrees all continued to call them "Sutton, alias Dudley," long aftpr the name was changed. The ]inc of demareaticm was clear enough, but it had not been pointed out, and it is strange that it had not bPcn ascertained by the Heralds at the time of their Yisitations. I discovered it on examining the Will of the Lord Dudley just reft'rrcd to, in the Prerogative Office, Doc tor's Commons, which commences thus:- " I, Jon1' Dt:DLEY, LoRD DrDLEY." Previous to that time they were Suttons, and Lords of Dudley merely by holding the lordship and manor of Dudley. From that first Baron Dudley, deseended soon afterwards, several branches of the Dudleys who became eminent, many of them of high character ancl standing, and highly estePmed by their respective sovereigns. Among them may be ·named- INTRODUCT◊Ri REMARltB. vn Sm JoBN DuDLEY, ofHatherington; son of the above named John, and ancestor of the Duke of Northumberland, the Earls of Warwick and Leicester. WILLIAM DuDLEY; another son, an eminent divine, who was Bishop of Durham, and was buried in \Vestrninster Abbey. In later times AMBROSE DuDLEY; commonly called the good Earl of Warwick. RoBERT DrnLEY, Earl of Leicester; so highly esteemed by Queen Eliza beth; a man of far greater ability than has usually been ac corded to him. LADY ALICE DuDLEY ; a lady of very estimable character, a "mir ror of Christianity and a miracle of charity," who was created, in her own right, Duchess Dudley, by Charles I. Srn PHILIP SYDNEY; nephew of the Earls of\Yarwick ar.d Leicester, and grandson of the Duke of Northum her land-a paragon of the age. But we must not omit to name others who became notorious in their times. Srn EDMFND DeDLEY; who for serving his master, Hen. VII. but too fervently, lost his head to satisf:· the clamours of the people, on the accession of Hen. \'Ill. He was one of the executors of Hen. VII.'s 'Will, and had a legacy of £100 left to him. Srn J om, DcDLEY, Viscount Lisle, Earl of \Varwick, and Duke of Northumberland; the intimate friend of Hen. \'Ill., appointed by him as one of the executors of his \Vill, (with a legacy of £500,) and guardian of his c-hildren, who wa~ beheaded for the attempt to place his JOHN DcDLEY, DFKE OF N oRTHUMBERLAND. Dugdale, in his Ba ronage, speaking of John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, states that he was knighted by Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk.-" In 19 Hen. VIII. he accompanied Cardinal \V olsey into France, who was Ambassador there, and in 26 Hen. VIII. he was made Master of the Armory in the Tower, for life, with the wages of XIId. per diem for himself and three pence per diem fur his Groom in that office. More over, that in 31 Hen. VHI. he was Master of the Horse to the Lady Anne of Cleve, then landed in this realm, in order to her marriage with King Henry. And in 32 Hen.Vlll. in tho~e triumphal Justs held at West minster, upon the first of May, and several days after, was the first and principal of thtc Challengers against all comers; his horse be ing trapt with white vPl n,t. After which, ahout two years, by reason of his descent on th,, mc,thcr's side, he was ad rnneed to the title of Viscount Lisle, 12 l\fortii, 34 Hen. VIII. and the same year made Lord Admiral of Engl,rnd, for lifo; Leing a person very comely and of a spirit highly aspiriug; neitlwr wanting skill, industry, or re solution to attempt great n,atters." He was one of the executors of th(: \Yill uf Hell. VIII. and had a legacy of £500-a large amou11t in those days. He was also one of the guardians of Henry'~ son, Edward Yl.-had evidently been in great fayor with Henry, and mueb esteemed Ly him. From a draft of Hemy's \Yill, presened in the State Paper Oflice, Lo11do11, which appears to me to be in the handwriting.of John Dudley, with numer ous alteratio11s therein in the same writing, I think it prnbalJle that the "'ill was drawn up by him. in which case it would show how mueh he was in the confidence of the Kh,g. In the first year of Edward YI. he ,ms created Earl of \Varwick, and in 1551 Duke of Nortlrnrnlwrlancl, and was Li,rd Steward of the Household from l5;i] to 1553. On tlw acees.~iou uf l\fary he was beheaded fur tlw attempt to place L:iily ,Jane Grey ( who had pre viously marrie Quintin, in Pieardy; and in JI. Elizabeth, being then a Knight, was adrnnced to thE' office of Master of the Ordnance for life; aud in 1V. Elizalwth, to the title of B11ro11 Lisle, and the following day the dig nity of Earl of \Varwick; whereupon he had a grant of the Castle, Manor, and Borough of \Varwick, with divers other Lordships, in thE: County of\'{anl"ick, which came to the CrO\rn by the attainder of his father. Before the e11d of that year he was made Captain General of all the Queen's subjects in Normandy; shortly after which, though twiee repulsed by contrary winds, he landed at New Haven* with certain forces, where he had some slight skirmishl'S with the French. Continuing there till VI. Elizabeth, he discerned that the inhabitants of that port had a design to betray the town, and tlwrefore not only expelled them, but seized upon their ships. \Vher<'upon the French prepared for a siege, which the English, not willing to undergo, be cause the pestilence beg:rn to rage amongst the soldiers, they con- 8cnted to capitulate upon honoraule terms, which were accepted. During his continuance in those parts he was elected a Knight of the Garter; and in XII. Elizabeth, upon an inrnnection in the North, of the Earls of Northumberland and "\Vestrnoreland, the Earl of Sussex being first sent do\\"n with sernn hundred men for the suppression thereat: this Earl, with Clinton then Lord Admiral, followed with thirteen thousanil more, being made Lieutenant General of her Ma jesty's forces in those parts. ln XIJI. Elizabeth he was constituted Chief Butler of England, and in XV. Elizabeth sworn of the Prh·y Council, being the same year oue of the Peers who sat in \Vestrni11- stcr Hall, upon trial and judgment of Thomas, Duh of Xorfulk; as :1lso in XXIX. Elizabeth, at Fotheringhay, for trial of Mary Queen of Scots. "He died without issue, 21 February, 1580, Anno 32d Elizabeth, at Bedford House, in the suburbs of London, and was buried in the beautiful chapel called the Beauchamp Chapel, adjoining the Collegiate Church of ,,-anl"ick, whPre his 11101mrnent is still to be seen."t RoBERT DcnLEY, EARL OF LEICESTER, was the second surYiYing son of the Dnke of X orthum berland. He was Master of the English Munition at the Siege of St. Quintin, during the reign of Mary, whu had restored him, his brothers and sisters in blood.

This John Dudley was in high favor with Queen Elizaueth; he died in 1580, and was bnl'ied in the Church at Stoke N ewingto1L where a handsome monument was erected, and is still to be seen in fine preservation.* In Kichols's Bibliotbeca Topographica Britannica, is a history of Stoke K ewington, containing the following account:- " In the chancel is a hand,;ome monument fixed against the south wall, consisting of pillal's of different marbles, forming two compartments, in one of wliich kneels a gentleman with a helmet behind him, and in the other, facing him, a lady with a daughter behind her; over him is inscl'ibe * Thomas Dudley, a brother of this John Du,1ley, was steward to Rohert, Earl of LPicester, SCTTON-DCDLEYS lage, yet at a convenient distance from the metropolis, and in the house of a younger Lranch of his family, ovcr wl10m he might have infl.ue11ce, and about which perhaps several private recesses might be found. Thus much is certain, that :Mr. Dudley's lady 'had the honour to be well known to, and to havc receirnJ visits from the Queen, [Elizalietl1] in Mr. Dudley her first lrnsb:rnd"s time, in one of whicl1 lier majesty taking a jewel of great value from her hair, made a present of it to their daughter l\fiss Ann Dudley.' }fr. Dudley died, as appears aoo\·e, 29 Dec. J 580, lea Ying his widow executrix and co-partner in l1is fortune~ \\·ith their sole cliild Anne, born 12 Feb. 1574-5. Al.iont the middle of the year 1582 Mrs. Dudley was married to Thomas Sutton, Esq., l\Iaster General of the Ordnance in the Xorth, a11d afterwards the celebrated fonnder of the hospital in the Charter Honse; and he becom ing hereb_v possessed of the mniety of tliis manor, made it his country seat, and it contiuncd in his possession till the death of his lady, who was bnriecl here in great state, 17 June, 1G02.

OF EXGLAXD. ]j THE SUTTON-DUDLEY ARMS, The coat of arms of the Sutton family was con tinued by that branch descended from Sir Robert Sutton, second soil of Rowlaud Sntton, by Alice, 0 sister and co-heir of Robert Lord Lexington and of Henry Bishop of Lincoln. This Robert had the lordship or manor of A,·erham gi\·en to him by his nephew Robert Sut to11, who married Lucy, d11ughter of Sir Rowland Bartram, and through whom he became possessed of the Bartram estates in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire in the year 1290. The Suttons of tlle present day coutiune the same coat of arms. It is \·ery evident that the arms adopted by the Sntton-Dndleys, at tlie time of tlie marriage of the aboYe named Rob(•rt Sutton and Lncy Bartram, were those of the Bartram farnily. Richard Sut ton, their son and heir, nsed these arms. 7f These were or. lion rampant vert, with Bingle tail. The double tail of the Sutton-Dudleys was the only addition or al teration from the Bartram arms, but the exact period when the latter was added is not shown.

Several attempts have been made at different periods to trace the ancestry of the DcDLEYS of lrlassachnsetts, t,yo of whom "·ere successively Governor$ in the early settlement of that colony, bnt hitherto very little light has been thrown on the subject. The only information that has been handed down to us of this family is simply that Governor THo~rAs Dcnu:y was the only son of Captain RoGER Dm>LEY, who was killed in the wars; and for this we are indebted to Cotton Mather, who says- ,. He was born at the to"·n of Northampton, in the year 1574:,* the only sou of Captain Roger Dudle:·, who being slain in tlie wars, left this, our Thomas, with his only sister, for the Father of the Orphans to take them up.t That he was brought up in the family of the Earl of Northampton, and af terwards became a clerk to his maternal kinsman Judge Nich ols, and thus obtained some knowledge of the law, which proved of great service to him in his subsequent life. At the age of twenty he receiYec1 a captain's commission from Queen Elizabeth and commanded a company of Yolnnteers under • Thi~ i, an error-he wa., born in 15~G. f ~lather's Mag-nnlia. Book II, p.

Thornton to take a copy of this MS. I was recently induced to examine it more closely and to compare it with the printed statement in the Magnalia, when I discovered, upon a careful perusal and exami nation, that this must be tlw identical "rnoreJJarticularacr:ount'' written and prepared by Cotton Mather; and, as this has never been published, I now submit it. If the reader will com pare it with Cotton l\Iather's statement, in his l\Iagnalia, bk. II, pp. 15 to 17, he will, I think, readily come to the same con clusion. For instance :-In the first line of both statements the same error occms in the date, 15H instead of 1576; and this is rendered the more singular by the fact that at the end of each statement his death is gi\·en "31st r:f July, •1653," in the "sevmty-sevrnth year ef hi8 agr." He was "slain in the wcn·.s," occurs in both statements. ".For the Father of tlu, 01'pl1m1s to take tl1em up,''-" (-J-od took ldm, 1f]J,"-" To learn tlu points c:f good belicll'im11·." And in speaking of Judge Xicl10ls, "who being hiis kinisman by tlw motl1er's side took tltc more special notice qf llim," appears in both statements. '' To do sometl1ing at tlie sword,fo;• being a young gentleman u:ell known." Again, " Tlie young 8JHO'ks about ~'~ortliamp ton were none of tl1em willinq to entCi' into tile sen)ice until a commission was gh:en to our young Dudley to be tlu:ir captain, and tlms presently tl1ere wn·e fouJ'-stoi'e tlwt listed under l1im." Throughout the uarratirn are tlrn same or ,ery similar expressions. The identical words and phra,:;e,;, frequently oc curring in Loth statements, conclusi\·ely t'h°'r that both were written by the same person, and that this MS. is the long lost statement prepared by :Mather.* It was probably written ahout the year 1GS3. ~ Tl1c senteucc:s in italic sho,r tl1c iucrniry with tl1c priuteu statement in tl1c· Magnalia, THE LIFE OF .M R .

So carrying them into the gn,at hall he directed them to lay their money upon the table, and tell it over, if they pleased; which being done, by that time he came back from the church door, after his attendance upon his lord, and then finding the money ready told upon the table, he caused some that were about him to turn the money immediatel_y into a great iron-b~und chest that stood at the end of the table, which having a spring lock the lid fell down and locked of itself. Now, says ~Ir. Dudley, I must return to the church to hear Dr. Preston, (who then preached before the Earl) and for your money I will take your tale of it, and never trouble myself at this time to tell it over again, or if that like you not, here is the key of the chest whieh yon may keep for your security, if you pleas€', till the next dny when we shall ha\·e more leisure to discnss those points. The Knights perceh·ing how handsomely they were caught, forthwith went with him to the church; and the next day _one of them gave him fifty pieces that he would not make them a country talk for this business' sakc>. Sometimes tlw wise are taken in their own craft. By this in stance it may appear that Mr. Dudley was not fit for such designs, and the Earl finding him so to be, would never nfter his acquaintance with him do any business of moment without Jlfr. Dudley's counsel or advice. Some of those that onrlooked his manuscripts found such an expression as this, not long after he left the Earl's family : I found the estate of the Earl of Lincoln so much in debt, which I have dis clwrged, and har•e raised the rents so many hundreds per annum. God 1rill, I trust, bless me and mine in such a manner as .l\~eliemiah some times did, appealing unto the judgment of God, that knew the hearts of all men, that he had walked in the integrity cf hi; heart before God, to the full discharge of the duty of his place. Toward the latter end LIFE OF THO::IIAS Dl'DLEY. 31 of King J ames's reign, when there was a press for soldiers to go over into Germa11y with Count Mansfdt, for the rect>very of the Palatinate ; when the matter was first motioned, the Earl of Lincoln, ( who was zealously affected toward the Protestant interest) was strongly inclined to ha\·e gone onr with the said Earl or Count, and should have been a Colonel in the expedition, yet resolving not to go without Mr. Dud lt>y's advice and company, and therefore he sent down to Boston, in Lincolnshire, where l\fr. Dudley then sojourned, to come forthwith to London, to order matters for this enterprise, and to be ready to ac company him therein. Mr. Dudley knew not how to refuse to wait upon his lordship, yet thought it best, as well for himself as for the Earl, to take the best counsel he could in a concern of so high R nature, not being unmindful of what Solomon said, " with good ad vice make war;" therefore he resolved with himself in his passing up to London, to take Cambridge in his way, that he might addse with Dr. Preston about the design, (who was a great statesman as well as a great divinl', at least was conceived very well to understand the intrigues of thP- state in that juncture,) and he altogether dissuaded Mr. Dudl,,y, or the Earl, from having anything to do in that expe dition, laying before them the grounds of his apprehensions, on which he foresaw the sad events of the whole, as did really soon afLer come to pass. Dr. Preston, by reason of his frequent intercourse with the Earl of Lincoln·s family, was free to discover to Mr. Dudley all that he knew, and lw impro\·ed it thoroughly·to take off the Earl's mind from the enterprise; although he was so far engaged therein as having kept a whole troop of horse upon that account, and one bra,·e horse for himself, rnlued at four-score or a hundred pieces, although he was above twenty years old when he was sent away ; 'tis pity he had not been better employed, so as he might have answered the expectations of his lonl and owner. At another time, when the Earl of Lincoln ( who it seems was wont to be very quick in his notions sometimes,) understood that there was like to be a bral'e fight at tlw Hague, in Holland, b,v reason of an in- LIFE Of' THO:'.IIAS Jll'DLEY. trcview of some great pl'inces that were then to be present. It was hut firn days from the time when the Earl had the first notice of it till it was to be put into execution; yet such was his eager rcsulu tions. that he rcsul ved. whatenr hazard or cost he were at, he would lie a spectator thne; and nobody was able to direct in the expedition so well as J\Ir. Dudley, who on the sudden he judged could so order all matters belonging to the Earl's retinue, that in two day's time they might go from the Earl's Castle of Semperinghnrn, to the Hag11e, in Holl.ind, to be present at that g-rPat solemnity. "\Yhcn they came there. the Earl's spirits arose to such an height that he would uy no means address himself to the C,,unt Palatine npon the knees, although he had bern crowned King of Bohemia. :Mr. Dudh,y begnn now to think that the lnst error was worse than the first ; howen·r, he wa, forced to find out the Lest wa~- hl' co1ild to excuse it, which he did to the P.ilsg:ravc/s satisfoctiun. It was about nine or ten years tl,at Jfr. Dudley continued in the, 8te1carcl"s pl.we under the Earl cif Lincoln ; after which time, being: wearied out with g:rcat elllploy:nent, he was williIJg to retire him,clf into a more prirnte capacity, :for whic-h end he left tha Earl's family and hired a haLitatiun at Boston, under l.\Ir.

Mr. Dudley was not among the first of them that embarked in the design for New England, which is the reason why he was not numbered among the Patentees; but after the rest of the undertakers began to be ae quainted with him, they soon discerned his great wisdom and other abilities, which made them pitch upon him in the second place, after Mr. \Vinthrnp, to be their Deputy - Governor, when Mr. Hum phreys (who had married one of the Earl of Lincoln's sisters,) found himself so encumbered with business that he could 11ot be ready to come along with the rest, in the year 1630. After they arrind here Mr. Dudley was deservedly so esteemed for his wi5dom, piety, jus tice and zeal, that he was always accountrcl fitted to be Deputy, when Mr. "Winthrop was choseu GoHrnor; till a necessity of gratifying some other of the undertakers was adjudged necessary to prevent a spirit of em·y and jealousy that was ready to be borne in the minds of others, who were not k like manner admitted to share in the dig nity of the government. which is so glorious a thing in the e_ye of all mortals tlrnt it is oft-times very diflicult to allay the spirit thereof But when it was thought meet to make a change, the lot of advance ment fell in the first place upon Mr. Dudley, who was the first that succeeded Mr. \Vinthrop in the Gonrnor's place, into which he was chosen at tlw court of election in the year 1634; in which year there falling out some occurrences of more difficulty than before, Mr. Dud ley was in a needful hour called to the governmeut; for in the case that concerned Hocking, ( who was slain at Kenebeck by some of Plymouth,) l\fr. Dudley differed from all the rest of the Bcneh, and yet was concluded afterwards to be in the right; and peradventurr, if he had not beeu so steadfastly fixed to his own pri11ciples and judg ment, but so have been swayed by the biass of other me1J's inclina tions, some incom'enience might have fallen out, for the prrsou murdered was one that belonged to the Lord Say, who was better known to Mr. Dudley than to miy other gentleman upon the Bench, yet that "Sir, "I am right sorry fur the news which Capt.

B:· this letter it appears that Mr. Dudley was a wry wise man and k1ww how to express his mind in apt and gentle expressions, not willing to proYoke others, although he were neYer so confident that he was in the right, for by his wise and moderate proceeding in the ease, he satisfied their neighbors at Plymouth who thought they [were] injured by the tmneeessary intrusion of the jurisdietion of the Mas saehusetts, in a matter which really did not concern them, and main tai1wd peaeE· at home amongst them that so much differed from him in the ca,se then depending before tlwm.

Dudley, not willing tci remoYe so far from the centre, took up his station at a nrarcr stand, viz., at a place then known only b:- the common n:mw of Agawam, since callc-d Ipswich, and twenty-six miles from Cam bridge, alias X ewtown, his first seat; liut the country soon found a need of his wisdom to help strengthen them. in that storm of trouble that began to arise immediately after his removal, so that the 1wccssity of tlw GoYernrnent and importu nity of friemls, enforced him to return l,ack two or three :-ears after his going away. The town he returned unto was called Roxliury, within twu miles of Bostou, wht're he was near at hand to be coun selled or adYised with in any exigent; dh·ers of which did presently appear after his retul"ll: of him it was verified what thr poet saith.

One clergy man says,-" I have searched the register of Laptisms and rnaniages in this parish, but find nowhere the name of Thomas Dndle5·. There are three other parishes in t11e town, viz. : St. Giles', St. Sepulchre's, and St. Peter's."-St. Giles says, "I barn made a very careful search of our parish registers for the entry yon wished to discover, but do not find it there. There is no installce at all of the name of Dudley, within the time yon give."--St. Sepulchre 8ays, "Baptism and marriage of a Thomas Dndley and Dorothy his wife. * * * I liave carefully examined it, [parish register,] and made diligent search, and I inform you no such name appears in the regis ter of L~ptism or marriage iu the years you mention."-Lastly, St. Peter says, "I have dnly searched the register books of my parish for the names of Thomas Dudley and Dorothy, and find no entry of them, 01· anything like them.*** Being also Cnrnte of lJ pton, close by Northampton, which hamlet has al ways been united to St. Peter's, I thought it best to search its registers also, bnt cannot find any entry of such a name." Search was also made at Clipsham, in the County of Rut land, where Thomas Dudley sometime resided,* but with no better success. From Peterborough we learn,-" There are no transcripts of registers here from Clipsham earlier than 1 ,:2 i:~ ~ So described in lsAAc Jomssoi;'s will.-Sce ,lfas.,. Hist.

Bishop Godwin says, his reputation for literature was so great in the University, tliat he was esteemed 'the learnedest among the nobility, and the most noule among the learned.'* His father having been attaintcd, lie ,ms restored in blood in 1559.t "In 1600 he was much in favor with Queen Elizabeth. On the accession of King James he was immediately received into fa,·or. In May, 1603, he was made Privy Counsellor; in January, 1604, L0rd "\Varden of the Cinque Ports, and in March, created Baron Ho\\'ard of JHarnhill, and Earl of North ampton; in April, 160S, Lord Pri,·y Seal and Knight of the Garter; in 160H, High Steward o~ the Cniversity of Oxford. "He was supposed to ha\-e been concerned in the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury. The Earl made three of his servants his executors, and the Earl of Suffolk, the Earl of "\Y orcester and Lord ·William HO\rnrd, overseers of l1is "·ill. It does not appear that he ever married. He assisted his nephew, the Earl of Suffolk, by large contribntious and designs to build 'Audley End.'

Another paper of the same period, endorsed: "Watch at Kew Hav./' has the following:-" Oap'n Dudley, 36 men." In searching among the pedigrees of the Dudley family in the Herald's Uollege, as well as those in the British Museum, I did not find the name of "Roger Dudley" in any of them, bnt I diEcovered among the wills in the Prerogative Court of Canterbmy, that of Edward Dudley,* of the City of Westmin ster, geritlernan, dated in 1542, in which he bequeaths the residue of his goods, after payment of_ his debts and funeral expenses, to RoGER DrDLEY,t whom he appointed his sole executor. Another will in the same depository, dated in 1563, of Katherine Dudley,1 daughter of John Dudley, then deceased, in which she makes a beqnest to her brother RoGER Dt:DLEY, as well as to Francis Dndky, another brother, (then under age,) "either of her said brothers to be the other's heir." (Copies of these wills are given in. the appendix, from duly authenticated copies in my possession.) This will of Katharine Dudley was the first clne I found to any particulars of" Roger Dudley." The original will which I inspected, is preserved in the Prerogative Office, London; it is on one sheet of paper, very neatly written, in all probability by the notary, whose clerk was one of the witnesses. The seal " In the registers at St. Margaret's, Westminster, is the following entry:- 1542-" Buryalls,-Jnly-The seconde day, "Edwardus Dudley." "Item of Edwarde Dud!:· for his pyttc in the Churche, vjs. viijd." The Roger Dudley in Edward Dudley's will would have been of too early a date for our '·Capt.

This Dorothy might possibly ha,·e been the ''only daughter" alluded to by Cotton Mather, but that Go,.

In the same depository (St. Dunstan's in the "\Yest) are also the follo"·ing entries:- :May 30, 1591, Baptized-Thomas, son of John Dudley, gent. Ang. 27, 159.f, " ..William, son of John Dudley, gent.

Fuller, in his Worthies of England, in speaking of the l'nton family, says:-" This ancient and worshipful! name was ex tinct in the days of our fathers for want of issue male, and a great part of their lands devolrnd by au heir-general to George Purfey, of ,vadley, Esquire, whose care is commend able in presening the tHonumeuts of the l'wptons, in Faring don Church, and restoring s11cli a" were defaced in the war to a good degree of their former fairnes~."

Tbis tradition was not confined to the Rev. Samuel Dudley, but has been perpetuated among the clescendauts of Governor Joseph Dudley, as the followin~, in the possession of the ,,Titer, will show:-- " This indenture, made and concluded this twenty-third of :'.'\ owm ber, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty, by and between*** Dudley of Roxbury, in the County of :,,,orfolk and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Esquire, of the one part, and * * * * of Boston, in the County of Suffolk, and Commonwealth afore said, Esquire, of the other part. \Vhereas the said Dudky claimeth and verily lwlieveth himself to be entitled by descent and rightful in heritance to the honors, rank, and estate of a Peer of the realm within the United I~ingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, together with cer taiu large estates, rights, pri dleges and appurtenanc-es thereto per taining, and of whicl1 honors, rank, estates, privileges aud appnrte nanc<'s he has not _yd hN·H enabled to h,we the seizin and posscssiou, hy reason of his a1sence from said United Kingdow, as well as from di\·ers uthcr causes.

From the investigation I haYe made in relatit>ll to this family, I ani ve at the conclusion that though Governor Dudley was not descended in the direct line from John Dudley, Duke of Northnmberland, yet that both were descended from the same ancestry. Doth used the same coat of arms. The original name of the family was SrTTox, hence they are known among genealogists as the "SrTTON-DrDLEYs." John Dudley, mentioned in the will of Katharine Dudley, as her father, was the son of Tliorna~ Dudley, both of whom TIJL lJllJLLY:' were buried at St. :Michael's, Oornhill, London.* (Copies of the "·ills of these ,rill be found in the appendix.t) Upou compari son of dates and from c,ther circnmstances, I conclnde that this Thomas Dncllcy was the son of Edward, Lord Dudley, who died in 1531, and brother of John, Lord Dudley, commonly known as '' Lord Quondam." X or would it Le any way re markable that Thomas Dnclley, citizeu and draper, should be tlie sou of one Lord Dudley and brother of another, when it is borne in mind that the fortunes of the family at that time were at the very lo,1·est ebb. The Draper was as good as the Lord, as tlie following will show. lohn, Lord Dmlley, ha,·ing lost a11 his property, and in Yolved in pecuniary diflicnlties, became a poor houseless no lileman. dependent npon the charity of his friends, spending his time in visits to one or other of them, as he best might, and generally known as " Lord Quondam."+ His wife and children were in great destitution. In a letter from l1is wife, Cecil, daughter of Thomas Grey, J\Iarqui~ of Dor~et, to the Lord Prin· Seal, 24th Febrnary, 1538,§-she says : "Tl1e canse of 111,,· writing unto yon is, desiring yon to be gnocl lord unto me: it is so, as you know very ,Yell, that by the means of my lord, my husband, I and all mine are utterly undone, unless it be the better proYided by tlw Grace of God, * St. Michael's, Cornhill.

John, "Lord Quondam" was born in 1495 and died in 1553. Thomas, his brother, was the second son, and pro bably born between 149G and 1500,-he died in 1549. The soubriquet of "Lord Quondam" rendered him an ob Ject of derision, and it may haYe been this circumstance that gaYe rise to the supposed repugnance of Go,·ernor Thomas Dudley to ha\·e the genealogy of his family made known, as we gather from Cotton Mather's statement. The embarrass ments of John, Lord Dudley, may probably ha,·e been caused by other than his own incompetency; he was one of eleven children, (four sons and senn daughters,) the proYiding for whom may have greatly impaired the family property.

In 1688, when James II. joined and annexed to the government of the New England Colonies, the Province of New York and Ea5t and West J er sey, with the territories thereunto belo~ging, he directed tl1at the seal ap pointed for New England should be thenceforth made use of for all tliat territory and dominion, and that' the seal for New York shoultl be de stroyed. He aim directed Gov. Dongun, in resigning tl,e government, to surrender the seal to Andrus. TJie "Instructions for Sir Edmund Andro"," presl,rved in tlie State Paper Offie.e, London, contain tl1e following:-" And whereas sine.e_ our aC'ces sion to the crown, Wee ha-..e appointed a new seal for our Color1ies of New Englund, as also another seal for our Pro\'ince of New York, w liich being now united under one government, Wee do herel>y t1ireet and require tliat the seal appointed for the said Colony of New England, be henceforth maue use of for all that our territory and dominion in its largest extent and boundaries aforementioned, and that the Seal for our Pro,,ince of New York be forthwith broken ana defaced in your presence."* This was done on the 11th August, 1688, an1l the proceeding is thus described by an eye-witness:-" Upon His Excellency's return to Boston, he received His Maties gracious commission for the annexing the Prodn<"e of New York and yo East and West Jerseys to His 1faties territory of N. Englanu, whereupon he audressed himselt to that service with all conve nieut speed, and being accompanied with severull of the Meml>ers nf Uis 1fotics Councill, arri,,ed at New Yorke on Sateruay, the lltl1 of Sept. [Aug't] Inst, being mett by a re;.dment of foot arnl. a troop of hor.;:e be longing to that place. His },futies commission was read in ye fort, and afterwards pn1.Jlisl1ed at ye Citty Hall, anu imrnct1iatcly Hi~ Excellence sent for and received from Col. Dongnn tl1e seal of tlie late Govt, which was defaced and broken in Councill : then a }JJ'oclarnation for continuing the revenue, and nll persons, civil] and military, in their respective offices, till further order, was pu1Jlisl1e<1."t Tlie arrangements maue by virtue of tliese instructions lasted for a very short period,-only seven month8,-Ant1ros being deposed in April, 1689, on the abdication of James II. Chalmers. in speaking of this Great Seal of New England, says tliat it was "lionoured witl1 a remarkabl~ motto." Mr. Geo. H.
