Dudley sent this:

| [DD] | He was married in 1652. He was younger than John who was born in 1630 in England. [but see below-ED] | |
| [FWD] | Where was he born? | |
| [DD] | Henry was born in this country as I have found by circumstances. [In other words, Dudley found no record of Henry’s birth, but believing him to be younger than John placed his birth here-ED] | |
| [FWD] | Whom did he marry? | |
| [DD] | Hannah Perry | |
| [FWD] | When? | |
