DUDLEY FAMILY by GEORGE F. DUDLEY:

4043 McPherson Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri, November 7th, 1904

At the request of my cousin, Miss Ann Eliza George, of No. 111 North Third St., Richmond, Va. (now here present at my residence named at the head of the paper), I make a copy of the following names of the Dudley family from whom we are directly descended. They are taken from an official copy of the will of my grandfather, William Dudley, belonging to me and now before me and my cousin (Miss George, above named), at my residence. This will was made by my grandfather, William Dudley, of the county of King and Queen, in the State of Virginia, on the 7th day of November, 1794, and admitted to probate on Monday, July 12th, 1802, at the courthouse of that county; the witnesses to the will being Thomas Metcalfe, Judith Shackelford, and Carter Braxton, Jr. The executors appointed by him in the will were his wife, Anne Dudley, executrix; his son, Henry Fleet Dudley, and William Chamberlayne of New Kent County, executors. The only one of the executors who appears to have qualified was his son, Henry Fleet Dudley. The order of the names of his family in which the will makes the bequests is as follows:

His wife, Anne Dudley; his son, Henry Fleet Dudley; his daughter, Mary Dudley; his daughter, Anne Pinchback Dudley; his daughter, Frances Dudley (the grandmother of Miss Ann Eliza George of 111 North Third Street, Richmond, Va., above mentioned, and now present at my residence, 4043 McPherson Avenue, November 7th, 1904, attending the World's Fair at St. Louis, Mo.); his daughter, Martha Elizabeth Dudley; his son, William Dudley; and his son, George Fleet Dudley, the father of the writer of this paper, and whose name I bear in full.

It will be seen from the above list of his children that my grandfather had four daughters and three sons; a peculiar circumstance in the names of his sons is that two of them had Fleet for their middle name, Henry and George. The last survivor of his children, so far as I can learn, was Aunt Mary Dudley, known better as Polly Dudley, who never married. She died about 1862 at the residence of her niece, Mrs. Mary Frances George, then the wife of Mr. Miles George, and the mother of Miss Ann Eliza George of Richmond, Va. Miss Mary (Polly) Dudley spent much time at the residence in Richmond, Va., of Mrs. Margaret Young and sister, old friends of the Dudley family. Mrs. Young told me she saw President Washington riding out the last time he ever left his house, her father then being an overseer of the General's and living at Mt. Vernon farm.

The official copy of the will of my grandfather above referred to was made by Robert Pollard, clerk.

The home of my grandfather, William Dudley, of King and Queen County, Va., was well identified by his establishing Dudley's Ferry, which still bears his name, over York River, near the junction of the two rivers which form the York. His brother-in-law, General William Chamberlayne's residence, one of the executors named in his will, but who does not seem to have qualified, was historic socially at a very early period as the first meeting place of General Washington and the widow Custis, afterwards Mrs. Washington. My father, as he often told my mother, and his brother and sisters often visited his uncle, General Chamberlayne, and spent much time there. I often regret that in October, 1881, when I visited Mrs. Margaret Young and her sister, Miss Nellie Anderson, in Richmond, Va., they were so far advanced in age and so infirm, as they were dear friends of the Dudley family, and, had conditions been different with them, could have told me much about my relations.

Dr. George Fleet Dudley

209 Grace Street, Richmond, Va., August 16th, 1907. — I have left out of this paper a statement made to Cousin Ann Eliza George about the time I made the foregoing (from which I have taken the above copy this day in substance), about my granduncle, Henry Dudley, brother of Grandfather William Dudley, about his service in the Revolutionary War, — for lack of time to copy it. It can be seen at Cousin Eliza's residence, 111 North Third Street, Richmond, Va.
