Research Notes
No evidence has been found to confirm the widely copied view that Elizabeth, the wife of John Blakenship of Virginia is the same person as Elizabeth Hudson who was the daughter of William Hudson of Leicestershire, England. The entry at Findagrave used as a source for her birth states that she was born in Virginia on equally little evidence.
