This chronicle shows that tho Dud-
leys rarely stopped at one wife. and
We're not evidently averse to large
families. 1T is pity that the records
are destroyed and prominent family
broken In many lines. However. this
mcagrc genealogy may be OF comfort

haps some family Bible may be un-
earthet and furnish data for moro
complete account.
Tho Dudleys have two local name
sakes. "Dud}ey's Plant alton" In Mid
dleseS, aud '"Dudley's Ferry" In King
ana Queen. opposite West Point. This
was Q most important ferry In the days
when the family carriage was tho
Pullman car for the Peninsula plant
ers.
