An interesting name that I found in my genealogy is the
Tudor surname. It hearkens back to the Elizabethan/Henry VIII era of which I have
always had an interest. Although it is highly unlikely there is a genealogical
connection, it is still fun to find others with this surname in their background.
The earliest Tudor that I have found in my family tree is
Humphrey Teddar (sic) who is mentioned in The Complete Book of Emigrants, 1607-1776
from Section III, chapter 24, Page 420 - year 1683:
Bound to Benjamin Johnson: John Betson, aged 21, for Virginia; Arthur
Munday, aged 20, for Virginia; Thomas May, aged 21, for Virginia; John
Wall, aged 22, for Virginia; Daniell Habgood, aged 21, for Barbados;
John Thompson, aged 22, for Barbados; Thomas Nonson for Barbados;
Thomas Miller, aged 23, for Virginia; Humphrey Tedder, aged 23, for
Virginia;
His son, Humphrey Tudor married Dorcus Ingram, daughter
of John Ingram and Mary Peasley, by 1733 via this notation in: From Baltimore County
