Hi
I’m wondering if anyone knows anymore about the Dudley family of Swepstone or if there is a connection to the Dudleys of Northamptonshire and Clopton possibly descending from a younger cadet branch although the 2 visitations in Northamptonshire don’t list sons of the younger sons I don’t think.
I have the following pedigree of my line.
Mary Dudley
B: 1711 Cosby, Leic
M: Richard Kenney 1740
D: ?
Parents:
Richard Dudley (Gent)
B: 1681 Cosby, Leic
M: Mary Bottomley/Bothomley 1710
D: 1748 (Also leaves Will)
Parents:
Richard Dudley (Gent)
B:1644 Swepstone, Leic
M: Elizabeth Bent 1672
D: 1710 (Leaves a substantial will bequeathing large sums of money in the hundreds to various people and land)
Parents:
Richard Dudley (Gent)
B: 1622 Swepstone, Leic
M: ? To a Susannah, not found marriage.
D:?
This Richard Dudley is listed as one of the prominent Royalist Gentlemen in Leicestershire alongside Sir John Beaumont of Coleorton and Wolstan Dixie of Bosworth Hall.
The dudleys are also listed as one of the prominent 35 families of the county.
Parents:
Lawrence Dudley
B:1593 Swepstone
M: abt 1621
D: ?
Parents:
Richard Dudley
This is were the discrepancy is. Some trees list him born 1535 and dying 1630but I feel this is incorrect. I think there is another generation before Lawrence.
Lawrence’s father Richard is also one of the 3 farmers or Swepstone who supply evidence in a court case in 1597
Richard Dudley born abt 1570
D:1630
Then Richard born abt 1635.
I notice on visitation the Dudleys of clopton and Northamptonshire use the names Richard and Lawrence, perhaps a coincidence though.

Have you looked in Surname Interests under Your Tools, below, to see if anyone else is researching them?
As you are aware of other trees that you have certain doubts about, have you contacted those people for further discussion to help both of you progress backwards?

Hi
I'm currently going back on my tree and backing everything up in writing on this line and just following wills and records.
The parentage of Richard who died 1710 is now in question.
He marries Elizabeth Bent 1672 Cosby, daughter it seems of George Bent Esq and Priscilla unknown.
I have him as being bapt 1644 Swepstone son of Richard and Susannah but this is where confusion lies.
his baptism states
Bapt 1644 Swepstone - Richard Dudley JR son of Richard Dudley JR and Susannah
The only Richard Dudley JR baptising in Swepstone is Richard Dudley JR and Bethsheba
They married 1634 Orton on the hill, and have the following children in Swepstone.
Richard Dudley bapt 22 Oct 1635 - Dies 1637?
Richard Dudley JR bapt 29 Mar 1638
Henry Dudley JR bapt 24 Mar 1639
Elizabeth Dudley JR bapt 15 Apr 1641
Ann Dudley JR bapt 15 Mar 1642
William Dudley 16 Jan 1645
There are no other baptisms for other Richard Jr's apart from the baptism of Richard Jr to Rich Jr and Sus.
Is Susannah actually Bethsheba?? I cant find a burial for Beth or Sus.
The odd thing is a Richard Dudley Sr and Elizabeth is baptising the same time as Richard Jr is, Im assuming Richards Jr's father is Richard Sr (Jr indicating a son of the same name as the father).
Richard Dudley Jr I have as Bapt 22 Mar 1616 Swepstone. Son of Richard Dudley.
These of the other Richards baptised in Swepstone.
Richard Dudley bapt 23 Apr 1609 Swepstone. Son of Dionisy/Dennis Dudley.
Richard Dudley bapt 6 Feb 1610 Swepstone. Son of Humfrey Dudley.
Richard Dudley bapt 1 Jan 1622 Swepstone. Son of Lawrence Dudley.
Given that Richard is Richard Jr that would mean he is the son of Richard Sr?
So who is the Richard Jr married to a 'Susannah' and baptises a Richard 1644? Same Richard who's with Bethsheba?
There is also another curious baptism in 1644
Elizabeth Dudley bapt 3 Mar 1644. Daughter of Richard Dudley of Nethercoat/Withercoat? and his wife.
-
In the will of Richard Dudley gentleman of Cosby 1710, Richard bequethes to his close friend Thomas Hower/Howers but later calls him his brother and in Thomas Howers will he lists the children of Richard as his 'Cousins' so im not sure on what the connection is there or if there is indeed a blood one.

I've come across your pedigree online where you list your descent from the Dudley family of Cosby, I too descend from this family and have done some research. You have Richard Dudley who dies 1709/1710 Cosby as baptised 1644 Swepstone. Do you have any other sources or evidence to back this up?
I believe that Richard is not the Richard who is bapt 1644. This is what I have. -
Richard Dudley, Gentleman of Cosby & Odstone.
Born c1650 Odstone to Henry Dudley Esq and Frances (Possibly Frances Trowell of Yorkshire).
Marries Elizabeth Bent, 9 Sep 1672 Cosby. Elizabeth is the daughter of George Bent, Gent of Cosby. (The Bent family were lords of the Manor of Cosby and Wealthy Land Owners descending from Thomas Bent Esq who purchased the Manor in 1551)
I descend from Richards son Richard Dudley, Gent of Cosby 1680-1746.
These are the reasons I believe Richard is son of Henry and Frances.
Richard names 2 of his children Henry and Frances (His parents) He names 2 children George and Priscilla (Elizabeths Parents) He names children after his and Elizabeths Parents.
In Richards will 1710 he bequeaths money to the poor of Cosby but also bequeaths money to the poor of Odstone (Normally you would only bequeath to the poor in places you lived or had a connection to)
In his Son Henry Dudley's Oxford Uni Alumni record he is listed as Henry's father as such 'Richard Dudley, Gent of Odstone, Leic'.
In the Will of Henry Dudley, Gent of Odstone 1686 he makes his son Richard the Sole Executor of his will.
Henry's daughter and Richards Sister Hannah Dudley who married John Bill is witness on Richards will in 1710 as 'Hannah Bill'
In Henrys will in 1686 he lists his Children Henry, John, Mary, Hannah, Honor, Richard. I have only found baptisms for Henry, Mary, Hannah and Honor.
Baptisms seem to be missing for John and Richard but would be in the region of the 1650s.
Father Henry Dudley, Gent of Odstone -
Henry Dudley 1618-1685 is another curious one as he seems to be the Lieutenant Henry Dudley of Swepstone who was a Royalist in Hastings regiment during the Civil war.
Lieutenant Henry Dudley was the 1st Son of Thomas Dudley, Gentleman and Wine Merchant of London and Swepstone. The only Henry Dudley in Leicestershire during the Civil war was Henry Dudley of Odstone. He baptises first son Henry 1640 Twycross, Leic then baptises Mary and Hannah at Swepstone before having a gap where John and Richard are born then baptising Honor at Twycross.
This move to Swepstone suggests Henry is indeed the Henry Dudley of Swepstone as he is the only Henry Dudley linked to there. On the parish records he is listed as 'Henry Dudley, Gent. On his burial in Shackerstone he is listed as Henry Dudley, Gent. He was born 1618 London or Swepstone son of Thomas Dudley and Bridget Hodson dau of James Hodson of Witney, Oxfordshire. Thomas Dudley gives the family Pedigree in London 1634 Visitation.
Henry seems to have the Social Standing and Occupation of a Gentleman by his late 20s so its highly likely he is the same Henry who was Lieutenant having received most likely an Officers Commission.
The one piece of Evidence which throws doubt on Henrys parentage is that in his will of 1686 he lists a brother William Dudley and I can find no evidence that Thomas and Bridget had a son called William or if Thomas had a son William with his 2nd wife as in the Will of Thomas Dudley, Gent of Swepstone 1660 he lists his wife Lucretia (Bridget dies 1638) and his 2 sons Henry and Francis but no William. Son Francis seems to be baptising in Ibstock and there is also a William baptising there so im not sure who this is. Thomas does list his grandson Henry by his son Henry which fits exactly with Henry of Odstone's children and I have found no other Henry Dudley baptising with these names. So it looks like Henry Dudley of Odstone is most likely the Henry Dudley son of Thomas.
Thomas Dudley, Gentleman and Wine Merchant 1589-1660
Son of Richard Dudley and Anne Farmer (Ann was daughter of Lawrence Farmer Esq of Normanton, Leic)
married Bridget Hodson 1616 London.
Gave the Dudley family of Swepstone pedigree at the London visitation 1634.
Dudley family research by Dean Dudley notes that Thomas's Grandfather Richard Dudley was Richard Dudley of Clopton, Northamptonshire. (The Dudleys of Clopton had been lords of Clopton since the 1300s.
Note that on the Visitation Pedigree given by Thomas in 1634 It says 'Vide Northampton and Leicester' This means that a connection between the Dudley of Clopton pedigree in the Northamptonshire visitation and the one given in London has been noted by Thomas or the Herald who recorded the Visitation.

Hello peb
I see you have posted what I sent you in an email.
Kind regards
-
The email comprises the pedigree which I'm fairly certain is correct, based on wills, locations and church records
-
Visitation of London gives family tree attached
-
It is Richard Dudley who tops this pedigree that Dean Dudley quotes as 'Richard Dudley of Clopton, who held land at Swepstone' whether this is true or not I don't know.
The pedigree Thomas gives, states to refer to Leicester and Northampton, which I assume means the visitation pedigree of Northamptonshire 1564 or 1619 of the Dudley family of Clopton Manor.
The 1564 pedigree is topped by -
Richard Dudley, Esq of Barnwell who marries Agnes or Joan Hotoft daughter of Sir Robert Hotoft of Clopton and had 3 sons, William, Thomas and John Dudley.
Succeeded by -
William Dudley, Esq of Clopton who married Christian Darrell daughter of UNK Darrell, Esq of Lillington Darrell and had 2 sons, Lawrence and Robert Dudley.
Succeeded by -
Lawrence Dudley, Esq of Clopton who married Frances Lesham daughter of Thomas Lesham, Esq of Lexham Burnham and had William, his only son and heir.
Succeeded by -
William Dudley, Esq of Clopton who married Elizabeth Porter daughter of Augustine Porter, Gent of Belton and had Thomas, Gilbert and William Dudley.
Suceeded by -
Thomas Dudley Esq of Clopton who married Mary Watsone daughter of Edward Watsone, Gent of Liddington and had Edward, Jeremy, John and Kenelm Dudley.
I'm not sure from whom, Richard Dudley of Swepstone descends. Thomas's Grandfather would be born c1530 and I think he is the Richard who dies 1605 listed as by will
'Richard Dudley the Elder of Swepstone, Yeoman'
Given the time period, Richard could be a grandson of William Dudley Esq and Darrell but im not sure.
The pedigree misses out a generation. Between Richard of Barnwell and William of Clopton, numerous sites and stirnet put this generation in -
Sir Richard Dudley of Clopton who married Elizabeth de Beauchamp daughter of Sir William de Beauchamp.
-
I'm not certain if Lawrence did indeed only have 1 son. The Dudley family of swepstone in the mid/late 1500s also use the names Lawrence, William and Robert. The same names used by the Clopton family.

Interesting

I'm not sure who this Richard Dudley is. I can see no burial or anymore information on this person and no execution place or date is given.
There are only 2 Richards bapt in Swepstone in the early 1600s.
Richard Dudley 1610 son of Humphrey Dudley
Richard Dudley 1609 son of Dennis Dudley
A William Dudley son of Richard Dudley, Yeoman is apprenticed to Thomas Dudley at the Vintners company in 1615.
No baptism found for this William but likely the son of Thomas's brother Richard.
I know that in 1661 a Richard Dudley was in possesion of a Mansion House in Swepstone.
I know of no Captain Dudley but there was a Lieutenant Colonel Richard Dudley of Swepstone who was an ex captain of Henry Hastings Horse (Same regt as Henry Dudley) He was a POW in 1644 at Upton Warren, Worcs and was exchanged. fined 1/10th £106 in 1649.
A Charles Dudley is apprencticed in 1666 and listed as son of Richard Dudley, Gent of Swepstone. No record of this birth is found.
A quick remark on Henry, he is likely to be Henry, son of Thomas the Vintner but seeing as there is missing baptisms for other Dudley families and the fact that Henry lists a brother William in his will in 1688 (Although this could be a cousin) Im not totally sure. Thomas the vintner only had 2 sons a Henry and Francis.
Henry certainly baptises his 2 daughters in Swepstone in the 1640s and is listed as a 'Gent' and a Henry Dudley is noted in civil war research as 'Lieutenant Henry Dudley of Swepstone'
Although Henry is also listed as 'That great robber of the country' Im not sure what this refers to but in 1657 there is a court case where Thomas Dudley brings his son Henry to court because Henry was staying in lewd and bad company in London and kept getting into prison. Thomas payed £1,100 over the years to get henry out of prison and pay his debts. A vast sum of money at the time. Thomas then purchased some land for Henry in Swepstone so he could take him out of the city and into the country to stop bad habits.
Nothing is mentioned of Henry's wife and children. So is this the same henry? Most likely yes. Its the only Henry Dudley in Swepstone during the 1640s atleast baptising children anyway. The only henry listed as a gentleman throughout his life and the signiture on Henry Dudley of Odstone's will in 1688 is almost exactly the same as the one on court documents in the 1650s.
-
Thanks
Lt Henry and Capt Richard sound like the same person
-
Perhaps, I think they got confused between a Richard Dudley of Clopton and a Henry but I'm not sure as they list no sources.
Henry died in 1688 in Odstone, Leicestershire.
-
Capt Richard was ‘executed at Tyburn, on Wednesday, the 22nd of February, 1681, aged forty-six years.’
That would make his birth 1634/5. Are there any baptisms is Swepstone in this period?
-
Yes a Richard Dudley is baptised 22 Oct 1635 to a Richard Dudley and his wife Bethsheba Armston.
Not sure who this Richard Sr is. He marries 1634 Orton on the Hill, Leicestershire.
The wills of 3 Richard Dudleys confuse things. I think the 1587 will is for Thomas the Vintners grandfather Richard who is at the top of the pedigree.
The 1623 will could be Thomas's brother Richard and the 1605 Will, I think is Thomas's cousin Richard, son of his grandfathers brother william.
Its hard to say as baptisms are scarce and theres multiple Richards baptising at the same time.
-
Maybe captain richard was our ancestor
1) he had a son called richard ‘Richard his son had a promising genius, and received a liberal education at St Paul's school.’
2) we can’t find his parents who may have disowned him!
-
The source states 2 people. A Richard Dudley of Clopton whowas executed 1681 and a Richard Dudley of Swepstone. But they seem to contradict themselves and have differing information.
This Captain Richard wouldn't be our ancestor as We descend through Henry and then Thomas.
Likely a cousin.

Do you have the other wills?
I have this:

-
I'm not entirely sure who this Richard is. He is listed as Richard the Elder, which would suggest that he has a son still alive called Richard the Younger but he only mentions a son Dennis in the will.
He also mentions the farmer family of normanton. Thomas's mother was Ann Farmer daughter of Lawrence Farmer of Normanton but this Lawrence dies around 1601/02.
I have a 1623 will where a Richard Dudley, Yeoman mentions his wife Martha and his father in law Henry Mountfort. Then mentions his children but not by individual names.
The will in 1587 of Richard Dudley, Husbandman mentions sons, William, John and Richard.

Thanks
The final correction here by dean Dudley is interesting
-
From history of the Dudley family by dean Dudley
-
The Dudley family is likely descended from the Walter or Thomas in this pedigree.
A Walter Dudley is baptising in the 1550s/1560s in Swepstone and has links there. A Laurence Dudley is also baptising in the late 1500s.
The Daundeleys were a separate family. The name is Normally spelt Daundelyn/Dawndelyn/Daundeley and in earlier records D'Andaly/D'Andely.
The Male line I believe died out and in the late 1400s. A Margaret Daundelyn, Heir of John Daundelyn, Esq and also of her cousin or brother married John Bernard, Esq of Abington Hall in the early 1500s. I also descend from this line.
-
I think it’s more likely that Richard who was born 1535 died in 1605 than 1630.
"England, Leicestershire Parish Registers, 1533-1991," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QP4Q-1G9X : 6 June 2018), Richard Dudleye Senior, 5 Nov 1605; records extracted by findmypast, images digitized by FamilySearch; citing Burial, Snarestone, Leicestershire, England, United Kingdom, page 23, citing the Record Office of Leicestershire, Leicester, and Rutland, Wigston, UK.

It's hard to say who that Richard who dies in 1605 is.
He is listed as Elder and Senior so there is a younger Richard alive in the village but in the will of 1605 only a son called Dennis is mentioned and this Dennis was born in the 1560s I think. The Richard Dudley born c1530, I believe died 1587. His son Richard was born c1560 and died in 1632.
I believe there are a couple of Richards who are cousins and Uncles/Nephews living at the same time.
