Thomas was a New England colonial magistrate who served several terms as governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Dudley was the chief founder of Newtowne, later Cambridge, Massachusetts, and built the town's first home. He provided land and funds to establish the Roxbury Latin School and signed Harvard College's new charter during his 1650 term as governor. Dudley was a devout Puritan who opposed religious views not conforming with his.Thomas is a known Gateway Ancestor to royalty through his mother Susanna Thorne and father Roger Dudley. While the paternal ancestry of Thomas Dudley has long been questioned, after a careful reading of the documentatio, which I have attached to the tree, for our family tree I have accepted the lineage detailed by Marshall Kirk in 1993.

Albums Great Migration (119)
The "Great Migration," as defined by the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS), encompasses the English Puritan migration to New England from 1620 to 1640. This movement primarily involved English Puritans who relocated in family units, driven by a quest for religious freedom and the aspiration to establish a Puritan commonwealth. These migrants originated from various regions of England and settled in areas that now form Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, including the Plymouth Colony and the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
An individual's inclusion in the Great Migration Study Project requires evidence of migration to New England within the specified period of 1620 to 1640. The project's objective is to compile biographical and genealogical profiles of all immigrants who arrived in New England during these two decades. The NEHGS has produced extensive volumes and directories, providing details about the lives of these immigrants. This collection presents research on many ancestors who were part of this significant historical migration.
You may be shocked by how many there are. Even I was at first. However, most of these Great Migration ancestors are my 9th and 10th great-grandparents, and in some cases 11th and 12th, and with the number of great-grandparents doubling with each generation, the possibilities quickly become immense. We have a total of 1024 sets of 9th great-grandparents and 2048 sets of 10th great-grandparents. This makes finding so many Great Migration ancestors more understandable.Notable Ancestors (0) Gateway Ancestors (1) Boston Brahmin Ancestors (2)
The term "Boston Brahmin" refers to a specific social class in Boston, Massachusetts, representing a cultural and intellectual elite. Originating in the 19th century, this term was coined by writer and physician Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., who used it in an 1861 article in the "Atlantic Monthly." The term "Brahmin" is borrowed from the caste system of Hindu society, where Brahmins are the highest caste, traditionally associated with priests and scholars. In the context of Boston society, it describes a class of wealthy, educated, and influential families with deep ancestral roots in New England, often traced back to the early colonial period.
We have a number of ancestors listed among the Boston Brahmin, primarily from the Adams and Dudley families.

He tried to raise lady Jane Grey his daughter-in-law to the throne as successor of Edward and was beheaded by order of Queen Mary on 23 Feb 1554. Sir Robert Dudley, sone of Duke of Northumberland, and in 1564 was made Baron of Denhigh and Earl of Leicester by Queen Elizabeth. He died in 1588. According to tradition Governor Thomas Dudley was the great grandson of the Duke of Northumberland.
Mr. Dudley was governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony 3 times and continued in the magistry until his death on 31 July 1653 when he was 77. Dr. Cotton Mather described him as "a gentleman whose natural and acquired abilities joined with his excellent moral qualities, entitled him to all great respects with which his country on all opportunities treated him."
Governor Thomas Dudley, Gateway Ancestor, is the direct descendant of 13 of the 25 Magna Carta Surety Barons.
