Birth of a son #2	Robert DUDLEY December 30, 1772 (Age 22 years) Caroline Co VA Shared note: Early Settlers of Surry County Early Settlers of Surry County Source: The Heritage of Surry County, North Carolina, Volume I Surry County was settled largely by second generation Americans who were born in Virginia. Some came before the Revolution looking for land; some came to receive land in payment for services in the Revolution; some were simply land speculators; and some passed through and stayed only long enough to grow food to take them to another place. ........ They traveled in groups of extended family, neighbors or in groups that had a common religious bond. They followed the same pattern in settlement and in marriage. They married where they were. And if they did not migrate, they were given their portion of land adjoining the family. This pattern is still true of farm families today. ....... Another example of a travel group was Matthew CREED and his brother Bennett who came to Surry about 1770. They brought adult and teenage children with them. Also included were Matthew's wife's family, the McKinneys, Richard Lawrence with seventeen children, Edward Moore and Rodham Moore (who settled in Patrick but whose son Gabriel settled in Surry and married into the Lawrence family). It is believed that the GORDON family came with them as well as the Herring and DUDLEY families. This group settled in the area south of Mt. Airy on the Turner's Mountain and the Red Brush section; others who came with them were the ROBERTS, Robertson and the very wealthy McCraw families. Descendants are here today through hundreds settled in the west.

Note	Notes for CHARLES DUDLEY: (From the Internet) A brief History of the Dudley Family by Naoma Dudley Stone Charles Dudley - born 21 Dec. 1750 as recorded in his Anglican Church prayer Book and Psalms - place unknown. Oral tradition suggest he migrated from London England as a teen-aged boy, but there is no proof of this. Charles' first wife was Mary ? (they had a son Robert and a daughter Judithe) and his second wife was Elizabeth ? (they had two daughters Nancy and Mary). Nothing is known of the line of daughter Judith or daughter Mary. Nancy married Thomas Poore and her descendants preserved the prayer book containing the vital dates of birth, - no death dates were recorded. Information from data collected by Kathyryn Houghton Fulton for the intended purpose of writing a book was quoted in a book "History and Genealogy Dudley , Mcwane" written by Marietta McWane Kegley. This information claimed that Charles Dudley died in 1859 at 107 years old. and was buried in Mt. Airy, N.C. Our Dudley branch is descended from Charles' son, Robert, who married his cousin Clarissa Ross. Charles was reportedly in the Battle of Shallow Ford in Surry County. Battle of Shallow Ford The Revolutionary War Battle of Shallow Ford occurred on October 14, 1780 in old Surry (now Yadkin) County, North Carolina. Approximately 310 Whig (those fighting for independence) militiamen from North Carolina and Virginia, commanded by Major Joseph Cloyd, defeated a band of Tories (those loyal to England) numbering 400 to 900 under Colonels Gideon and Hezekiah Wright. Occurring a week after the Patriot victory at King Mountain, it played an important role in turning the tide of the war in North Carolina to the advantage of the Patriots.
