Description
Excerpt from The Sutton-Dudleys of England and the Dudleys of Massachusetts in New England: From the Norman Conquest to the Present Time
Another palpable error occurs in Burke''s Peerage, which states that Sir John, second son of John Sutton, alias Dudley, (who mar ried Elizabeth Berkeley, tempe Hen. VI.) assumed the name of Dudley, whereas it was the father, and not the son, who assumed that as the family name. His Will, which I examined, proves such to be the case. Then again, in the pedigree of the Dudleys of Clopton, he says, John de Sutton, summoned as Baron Sutton, in 1342, a descendant of his, John Sutton, assumed the name of Dudley, and from him is stated to have derived Thomas Dudley, who settled in Clopton, and was one of the Lords of Clopton Manor. Ilis grand son de Dudley, married, in 1395, Agnes [''l Jane] Hotot. The slightest examination will show the errors in this statement. The John Sutton, who he says assumed the name of Dudley, died in 1500; from him is stated to have derived Thomas de Dudley, and his grandson de Dudley married Agnes Hotot, in 1395. Thus we have, after three generations, a marriage taking place 105 years be. Fore the death of the first named. L merely give these statements to show how necessary it is to take the Heralds'' Visitations, as the basis of pedigrees of early times.
