While the paternal ancestry of Thomas Dudley has long been questioned, after a careful reading of the following documents attached to this record, for our family tree I have accepted the lineage hypothesized and detailed by Marshall Kirk in 1993. This is the most accepted lineage of all the hypotheses put forth and H. Allen Curtis' extensive research and docuentation seems to confirm this beyond any reasonable doubt. For more details, please read the following PDFs attached to this record:
