Note

Though proven almost beyond reasonable doubt by the late Marshall Kirk of the New England Historic Genealogical Society (and those who have built upon his work), the relationship between the Dudley Family of America and the Sutton-Dudleys of Dudley Castle is not yet proven. Please join me and other Dudley descendants in persuading responsible parties on both sides of the Atlantic to allow dispositive DNA testing, as the burial places of the individuals most critical to establishing the link are known: Eliot Burial Ground, Roxbury, Massachusetts for Governors Thomas and Joseph Dudley and St. Margaret's, Westminster, for John the (so-called) Third Baron Dudley, buried on 18 September 1553.^[5]
