Talk:Thomas Dudley

Parentage
The owner of Stirnet Genealogy suspects that Thomas' mother is Dorothy Purefoy instead of Susanna Thorne. Take a look at http://www.stirnet.com/HTML/genie/british/dd/dudley01.htm#puref. Comments? -John Rigali 21:46, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Susanna Thorne, bapt. Yardley-Hastings, Co. Northhampton, March 5, 1559/60, living October 29, 88 (Parish Reg. at Yardley-Hastings, see N.E. Reg. Vol. 69: 341-342); m. Captain Roger Dudley, d. 1585. The will of John Purefoy, 1570, mentions Thomas Dudley Thomas Dudley Marshall: marshall.thomasd@gmail.com

Descendants
Anybody understand this phenomenon of listing all Dudley's celebrity descendants? I don't see any other biographies that do this. I can't think of any reason why it's a good idea. Should we remove it? Dcottingham (talk) 19:03, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Bill Cosby   There is nothing on the web that would support this.  A discovered descent from Bill Cosby would surely come in the form of a newspaper article on his family.  In fact, several compilations of his ancestry and online trees fail to even show a New England descent of the type one would expect to get close to being a Thomas Dudley descendant.  Since the fact that Bill Cosby may or may not be a descendant adds nothing to this page, I've removed it until it is actually sourced. 76.116.5.27 (talk) 01:16, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Augustine Nicolls
The good revisions in this piece now reflect the fact that "Dudley next entered the service of Sir Augustine Nicolls as a clerk." From most available sources, it appears that Nicolls was a 'kinsman' of Dudley's. MarmadukePercy (talk) 01:36, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Nice find; why I am not surprised...  Magic ♪piano 02:17, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, just wanted to mention that Rev. Samuel Dudley, a minister of Exeter, New Hampshire, was born to Thomas Dudley and his first wife while still in England about 1608. Rev. Samuel accompanied his father to Massachusetts aboard the Arbella in 1630, and went on to become a well-known minister, dying in Exeter in 1683. MarmadukePercy (talk) 15:09, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
 * He's currently mentioned, but not his colonial activities. Considering son Joseph's activities are mentioned, his probably should too.  Magic ♪piano 16:00, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
