Edward Dudley was a lawyer and privy counsellor to Henry VII and Speaker of the House of Commons 1505. Henry the VIII sent Dudley to the scaffold (text doesn't explain why). John, Edward's son was in the reign of Edward VI and made Earl of Warwick and in 1551 Duke of Northumberland. He tried to raise lady Jane Grey his daughter-in-law to the throne as successor of Edward and was beheaded by order of Queen Mary on 23 Feb 1554. Sir Robert Dudley, sone of Duke of Northumberland, and in 1564 was made Baron of Denhigh and Earl of Leicester by Queen Elizabeth. He died in 1588. According to tradition Governor Thomas Dudley was the great grandson of the Duke of Northumberland.

Mr. Dudley was governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony 3 times and continued in the magistry until his death on 31 July 1653 when he was 77. Dr. Cotton Mather described him as "a gentleman whose natural and acquired abilities joined with his excellent moral qualities, entitled him to all great respects with which his country on all opportunities treated him."

Governor Thomas Dudley, Gateway Ancestor, is the direct descendant of 13 of the 25 Magna Carta Surety Barons.

Notes:

While the paternal ancestry of Thomas Dudley has long been questioned, after a careful reading of the following documents attached to this record, for our family tree I have accepted the lineage hypothesized and detailed by Marshall Kirk in 1993. This is the most accepted lineage of all the hypotheses put forth and H. Allen Curtis' extensive research and docuentation seems to confirm this beyond any reasonable doubt. For more details, please read the following PDFs attached to this record:

More notes on Roger Dudley:

Capt. Roger Dudley: Roger Dudley (born between 1535 and 1545 -1586?/1590) was an English soldier.

Dudley was born in London, England, but some[who?] say that he was baptised in Yardley Hastings, Northamptonshire. However Dudley's parentage has never been satisfactorily established. Genealogist and researcher Marshall Kirk in 1993 published the results of his exhaustive survey of the Dudley families, and came to the conclusion that he was the son of Henry Sutton Dudley.

Roger may be the Roger Dudley who was matriculated as pensioner at Christ Church College, Cambridge, in 1566, but left without a degree. It is believed that he married, on June 8, 1575, at Lidlington, Bedfordshire, Susannah (Thorne), herself recorded as having been born on March 5, 1559/60 in Northamptonshire, and baptised at Yardley Hastings, the daughter of Thomas Thorne and Mary Purefoy.

He is reported to have been a Captain in (the Earl of Leicester)'s militia, fighting with a commission from Elizabeth I, and under the banner of Henry of Navarre. He is thought to have died at the Battle of Ivry, France in 1590. Yet in 1586, four years earlier, the Reverend Cotton Mather of Boston wrote: "Thomas Dudley's father was Captain Roger Dudley, -- slain in the wars, when -- his son, and one only daughter were very young". The will of Thomas Dorne (Thorne) of Yardley Hastings, Gent., dated 29 Oct 1588, bequeathed "to the children of Susan Dudley, my Daughter, widow, to be equally divided". (S1,S11). Therefore, he was apparently dead by the time of the will of his father-in-law, which was written in 1588, which eliminates the time of the Battle of Ivry as a possibility for his death.

It is most probable that he died at the Siege of Zutphen in 1586, having followed a relative, Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, who was a principal figure in that battle. Marshall K. Kirk suggests that Roger made his home after his father's death with Peter Grey, a "Queen's servant", whose manor of Segenhoe was two miles from Lidlington, (Bedfordshire), where Roger was later married. Roger and Susannah Dudley raised at least five children, listed as: Thomas Dudley (second governor of Massachusetts) Mary Dudley Richard Dudley (b. 1583 – d. 20 Aug 1603) Dorothy Dudley. David Dudley.

Died:
Possibly killed in battle at Siege of Zutphen

Captain married THORNE, Susanna on 8 Jun 1575 in Lidlington, Bedfordshire, England. Susanna (daughter of THORNE, Thomas and PUREFOY, Mary) was born on 5 Mar 1559 in Yardley Hastings, Northamptonshire, England; was christened on 18 Oct 1560 in Rye, Sussex, England; died on 29 Oct 1588 in Northampton, Northamptonshire, England.
