It is widely published in historical and genealogical registers that there is no evidence to date of this connection. Please see below bibliography.*] "Dorothy Dudley the wife of Thomas Dudley" was admitted to the Boston church as member #12 in 1630. She died in Roxbury on 27 December 1643 of colic; "a godly Christian woman & left a religious savor behind her." She is believed to be buried in Eliot Burying Ground, however time and weather has erased the location of this grave. ------- * BIBLIOGRAPHY showing there is no evidence to date of familial connection between Thomas and Dorothy Yorke Dudley and young Thomas Dudley of Cambridge University: Lucious Robinson Paige, List of Freeman of Masschusetts, 1630--1691, (Baltimore, MD : Genealogical Publishing, 1978), 14.
