PREFACEIn publishing this little book the author has

not the vanity to think that the contents of itcould not as well, and perhaps better, have beencollected by some one else. But who "would un-dertake the task? Of course the matter thereincontained will not interest very much, any exceptrelatives of the Hudson family. Most personstake an interest in the history of their own fam-ily, and are generally pleased to kno^w somethingof their ancestry.

I have had no kno^edge of my ancestors be-yond m^^ grand parents and no knowledge of thesources from which information could be derived^until my wish to acquire such induced me late inlife, when I had laid aside active duties, andreached a period of comparative leisure, to makea search for the desired information. I had notadvanced far in that direction when a work enti-tled the ''History of Oxford," by George F. Dan-iels, of that place, made its appearance.By extracting largely from that, and informa-tion kindly furnished by George E. Littlefield,Dealer in Old, Rare and Curious Books, Genealo-gies etc., 67 Cornhill, Boston; and relatives andfriends (to all of whom acknowledgments aredue), I have collected together the facts containedin the following pages. That there may be errors


10/38

therein I do not doubt; it ^^ould be marvelous ifthere w^ere not. I have done the best I couldwath the means I have had and in the haste inwhich the work has been done. The search hasbeen extended much farther than was first in-tended, and still is far short of what it ou^ht to be.There are a number of branches of the originaltree that have been but partiall}^ traced; to pursuethese would require much time and patience. Itis hoped that some member of these neglectedlimbs ma}" take sufficient interest in the familytree to pursue the inquir}" from the point wherethis leaves it, and add to, and improve upon thislittle book to the end that a new edition at somefuture time may apppear more complete. It hasbeen the design of the author as far as possible tonote incidents in the life of each person belongingto this large family, as indicative of character andstanding, but this has been done only in part, be-cause of the difficulty of getting information.The small figures at the end of a name indi-cate the degree removed from Daniel, the commonancestor; thus Daniel ^ his son Daniel -, William 3,John ^, William ^, and so on.The heads of families are printed in large cap-itals, their children in small caps., their grand andgreat grand children in italics.

GENEALOGY OF THE DESCENDANTS OFDANIEL HUDSON,

THE FIRST SETTLER OF THAT NAME IN THIS COUNTRYSO FAR AS KNOWN.

Little is known of the original ancestor of thesettlers in New England of the name of Hudson,-except what has been gathered from the publicrecords at Oxford and published by Geo. F. Dan-iels in a recent history of that town and the rec-ords of the County of Worcester, Mass., by whichit appears that Daniel Hudson came to America(probabl3^ from England) in 1639 and settled atWatertown, Count}" of Middlesex, in 16^10; a brick-maker; whether he brought a wife with him ormarried in this country does not appear; probabl}^he was a single man at the time of his arrivalfrom the old country. He removed to Lancasterin Worcester counts" in 1664 with six children andseveral others were born there. On the 11th ofSeptember, 1697, he and his wife, Joanna, twodaughters, and two children of his son, Nathaniel,were killed by the Indians. He had with otherchildren Daniel i, John i, William i, Nathaniel i,Thomas i, and several daughters.

DANH:L 1, his oldest son, was born May 26th,1651, married |ul^' 21, 1674, xMary Maynard, by


12/38

6 GENEALOGY OF THE DESCENDANTSwhom he had at least one son, viz: Daniel -, bornin April, 1677. She died November 4th, 1677, andhe removed wîth his son to Bridgewater, Count}ôf PU^mouth, w^here his son, Daniel 2, marriedMar}^ Orcutt, and had children, Marj^^, Daniel^,and William ^.JOHN 1 died 3ôung.WILLIAM 1, son of DANIEL, removed toBridgewater virith his brother DANIEL i, wherehe married Experience Willis and died withoutissue about 1729.NATHANIEL i, brother of the above, lived inLexington and Billirica, Middlesex County, hadchildren, Seth 2, Nathaniel 2, Abigail 2 and John 2.They were settled at Marlborough.No descendants of THOMAS ^ can be found,and no further record of the Bridgewâter branchof the descendants of the original DANIEL can beobtained, except of William ^, son of Daniel 2, whowas one of the thirty settlers of Oxford, and fromwhom the Oxford branch descended. A few ex-tracts from the history of the to^wn of Oxford willbe interesting in this connection.

"In 1683 the general Court of the colony ofMassachusetts made a grant to Major RobertThompson, William Stous^hton, Joseph Dudle}",and such others as they should associate withthem, of a tract of land in an3^ free place in Massa-chusetts, eight miles square for a township, theysettling in said place thirty families and one ableorthodox minister, taking homesteads within fouryears. The surve3^ of this grant was made in 1687,and the place was named Oxford after the cit}^ ofthat name in England. In 1686 no progress had


13/38

OF DANIEL HUDvSON. 7been made towards occupying the grant, and onpetition the time was extended three years. Be-fore that time expired an agreement was made byThompson, one of the grantees, with Gabriel Ber-non, an influential Frenchman, to bring over andsettle thirt}^ families of French Protestants (Hu-guenots) on the Oxford lands. These came thenext 3êar, with Daniel Bondet, their minister, butafter taking possession and applying themselvesto the work of making homes, the^^ found the}^were beset on everj^ hand by great perils on ac-count of hostile Indians, who lurked in ambushand murdered the men when found any distancefrom home, and did not spare the defencelesswomen and children. These hostiles were madestill more fierce and brutal by rum that some evildisposed ^vhite men sold to them.

''In 1691 the peace of the settlement vâs seri-ously disturbed by some 'incorrigible persons'therein, who were carrying on a pernicious trafficwith the natives.

"In the summer of 1693 the northern Indiansbecame a source of alarm. At Brookfield a bandof 40 made an assault 27th of July, killing six per-sons and carrying away three others, one an in-fant, w^hich was killed soon after the capture."Both Oxford and Woodstock having fears thatunless precautionary measures wêre taken, likedisasters might come to these places, the caseAvas laid before the authorities and on August 1,1693, in Council it was advised and ordered thatthe Indians of the plantation adjoining Oxford, aswell for their own securit}^ as that the enemyma}^ be better known, be draw^n into the town of


14/38

8 GENEALOGY OF THE DESCENDANTSWoodstock, to be under the watch of the English.Nothing further appears to show that the settle-ment was not in a fairl}^ prosperous condition upto 1694, seven years from the beginning. At thisdate the communit}^ numbered probabl}^ 70 or 80persons.

"In the summer of 1694 the colonists learned byexperience the cruel and sanguinary nature of thepeople among w^hom their lot had been cast. Adaughter of one Alard, with two young childrenof the family, left their home one day to return nomore. Search w^as made, the bod}^ of the girl wasfound, but the children had been captured andcarried away to Quebec.

"The effect of this occurrence was greatl}^ todishearten the villagers, as will appear from thefollowing document:

"In October, 1694, a warrant having been sent toAndrew^ Sigourney, the constable, for the collec-tion of eight pounds, six shillings, taxes, he re-plied as follows:

" 'Now whereas the Indians have appeared sev-eral times this summer, we were forced to garri-son ourselves for three months together, and sev-eral families fled, so that our summer harvest ofhay and corn hath gone to ruin b}^ the beasts andcattle which have brought us so low that we havenot enough to supply our o^vn necessities, manyother families abandoning likewise, so that wehave none left but Mr. Bondet, our minister, andthe poorest of our plantations so that we are inca-pable of paying said poll unless we dispose ofw^hat little we have and quit our plantations;wherefore humbly entreating the honorable


15/38

OF DANIEL HUDSON. 9Council to consider our miseries and incapacity ofpaying the poll as in duty bound we shall everpra^'".' These taxes were remitted in compliance^with this pra3^er.

''On 25th of August, 1696, occurred the Johnsonmassacre. This deed was perpetrated under theinstigation of the Canadian authorities and theJesuits by a willing servant of theirs, Toby, a Nip-muck Indian, dwelling at Woodstock, and ^vas aprecursor of a long series of atrocities later en-acted on the frontier. The house of Johnson stoodon the southern outskirts of the village, near theWoodstock trail, on the plain which bears hisname. Toby and his band stealthily approachedit on the afternoon of Tuesday, the 25th of Au-gust, 1696, and entering, seized his three children,Andrew, Peter and Mary, and ruthlessl}^ crushedtheir heads against the stones of the fireplace.With the help of Daniel Johonot, her cousin, themother fled toward Woodstock, whither her hus-band had gone on business. Tradition runs thatin parts of the \v^ay there \vere two paths, and thatgoing and coming, the husband and wife passedeach other, she going to Woodstock, and he com-ing to his home. He was met by the assassinsand shared the fate of his children.''This event filled the settlement with conster-nation and after burying in one grave the mur-dered man and three children, the inhabitantsgathered their small store of movables and hast-ened to a place of safety.

"Tradition sa3"s that earh^ in the morning oftlieir leaving each family having bade adieu to itsplantation and homr, they assembled at tlie little


16/38

10 GENEALOGY OF THE DESCEXDAXTSchurch where the}^ had a season of worship.The}" afterwârd repaired to the burying ground totake leave of the graves of departed friends, andthence in a procession moved onward over therough forest road toward Boston.

''As early as the spring of 1699 eight or tenfamilies returned and occupied the plantations.But of the fortunes of the second colony we knowlittle. The facts, however, set forth in the cita-tions which followed indicate clearly that what^th the rum traffic with the resident natives, andthe plottings of the neighboring tribes, therecould have been very little of gro^wth or quiet."

These people having abandoned their lands,nothing was done until 1713 when a new grantwas made to thirty families who had the courageto go upon the lands, make settlement and im-prove them within two years, ^when each shouldbecome the owner of a homestead of a prescribednumber of acres. Thirt}^ brave men v^êre found^lo wêre willing to take the hazard; one of thesemen ^was William Hudson ^, son of Daniel 2, ofBridgewater. He was a young man not 3êt ofage. His homestead was No. 168 and has been inthe possession of some of his descendants eversince. He married 17th of Ma}^, 1721, Mar}" Far-rington, of Boston. She died 28th of March, 1769,aged 66.
