Im removing the data supported only by trees for a fictional person, and left the bio text supporting the daughter of Samuel Dudley. Needs merging to correct parents, etc. Please help. Thank you, April Dauenhauer for the Puritan Great Migration Project
Please disconnect this profile from Dorothy (Yorke) Dudley and Thomas Dudley as parents.
NOTE: Thomas Dudley, 2nd governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony, has been well documented. This Dorothy Dudley, daughter of Samuel, son of Thomas, married Moses Leavitt and they had ten children born at Exeter, New Hampshire.
See History of the Dudley Family, pages 792-795.
Merge with Dorothy Dudley.
Thank you.
