Craig, Thank you for more on the Hudson connections. Those depositions I found concerning the sisters of Elizabeth nee Revett was from research done by George H. S. King for a private client whose work was published. I found the book at NC State Archives. [That also led me to call Mary Lou Ruth and there was no English record.] Part of the research being done for me now concerns line of THOMAS HUDSON. Thomas' son Samuel Hudson shows in 1771 CC MD records with an "Elander McConky" who I believe to be my 5xg Alexander McConchie. Bill Deyo is direct of Samuel Hudson so I have the benefit of his well researched and documented work. Thomas Hudson was the son of a Henry Hudson and Elizabeth Chinn of Northumberland Co. VA. [This is not "the" Chinn line...] Thomas Hudson had sons one of which was named "Caleb" Hudson. Thomas Hudson also had son Samuel Hudson who named a son "Fielding" Hudson. Fielding Hudson married a great granddaughter of Thomas Monteith. Thomas Monteith also had daughter Magdalene who married Anderson Doniphan, grandson of Alexander Doniphan who had been married to AMY, 2nd Margaret Mott. I don't think Thomas Hudson's line connects to Joshua Hudson's line at this point but my radar goes up on certain surnames you post. Northumberland County Virginia Record Book 1738-1743, page 106, Northumberland County Parish of St. Stephens . . ."This indenture made the 2nd day of Dec. 1740 by Thomas HUDSON of Charles County in the Province of Maryland to Robert HUDSON of the County of North'd & Parish of St. Stephen . . . In consideration of 5000 lbs of good tobbo already payed - all that tract or Divident of land Given & bequeathed to him the said Thomas HUDSON by the last will and testament of Henry HUDSON dec'd . . . being part of a tract formerly granted to Anthony LINTON" . . . Wit: Richard CLAUGHTON, Wm PURNELL(?), Sam'l HARRISON, Rodam HUDSON, Fielding HUDSON. ======================== As I said the line of Daniel Field has leads for me. I'm also interested the Charles Ashton neighbor of Joshua Hudson. I found below record concerning James Ashton who names a "godson" James Mackey. I haven't seen the original but I think this James Ashton was same one who had will proved 1687 and named a godchild "Richard Elkins". The name JAMES MACKEY and his associations was a BIG breakthrough. I would like to see if JAMES ASHTON was related to JOSHUA HUDSON's neighbor CHARLES ASHTON?
