Thomas Dudley, the only son of Capt. Roger Dudley and Susanna Thorne, was born in 1576 at Northampton, England. On March 14, 1590, when he was fourteen years old, his father was killed at the Battle of Ivery, leaving Thomas and his sister orphans, as their mother had died previously.
Thomas inherited 500 pounds from his father and was raised as a page in the family of Lord Compton, Earl of Northampton. Afterwards, he became a clerk to his maternal kinsman, Judge Nichols, thus obtaining some knowledge of the law, which proved to be of great service to him in his later life. Also, while still in his minority, he was trained in Latin by a "Mrs. Purefoy", who was probably his maternal grandmother, Mary Purefoy. All in all, he gained a competent education and was able to understand any Latin author as well as most educated people of his time.
In 1596, at the age of twenty, Thomas received a Captain's commission in the army. According to Cotton Mather, "the young sparks about Northampton were none of them willing to enter into the service until a commission was given to our young Dudley to be their Captain, and thus presently there were four-score that listed under him." Thomas and his company of volunteers went to France and fought on the side of Henry IV, King of France, at the siege of Amiens in 1597.
On the conclusion of peace in 1597, Thomas returned to England, settled at Northampton and became acquainted with Dod, Hildersham and other Puritan leaders and himself became a Puritan. In 1603, he married Dorothy Yorke, daughter of Edmonde Yorke, yeoman, of Cotton End, Northamptonshire. She was described by Cotton Mather as "a gentlewoman both of good estate and good extraction." By her he had five children. During the period from about 1600 to 1630, Thomas was steward (manager of estates) to Theophilus, Earl of Lincoln, who had been deep in debt prior to Thomas' stewardship. After only a few years of management by Thomas, however, the Earl was out of debt and was prospering. Also, during this period, Thomas became acquainted with John Cotton, renowned minister of Boston, Lincolnshire (and later of Boston, MA). The Puritans were considered by many political leaders and by the Church of England to be a threat and were subjected to substantial persecution. During the 1620's, relations between the Church of England and the Puritans worsened. Continuing pressure led to a decision by a large group of Puritans to emigrate to New England.
In 1629, Thomas Dudley was one of the signers of the agreement to form the Massachusetts Bay Company. On Oct. 20, 1629, in the city of London, he was chosen one of the five officers to come to America with the Royal Charter.
The Massachusetts Bay Company was essentially similar to any other trading company of the time, except that its members had managed to obtain possession of the company charter, or patent, and thus could take it with them to the New World. With possession of the patent that established their rights and privileges, they could control their own government and elect their own magistrates. The group elected John Winthrop governor and Thomas Dudley deputy governor in October 1629.
It is difficult to understand Thomas Dudley's decision to leave England for the unknown shores of North America. In England he had friends, position and prosperity. But he decided to leave all this behind. Apparently, the pressures of persecution were so great that he was virtually forced to leave England or give up his religious convictions.
In 1630, Thomas and his wife and children sailed to New England with the Winthrop Fleet, a group of eleven vessels carrying 700 passengers. The Dudley family was on the flagship, the Arbella. The Fleet left England in the Spring and arrived in Salem in June. Not approving of Salem as the capital, John Winthrop ordered the fleet south along the coast to Charlestown, ultimately settling at Newtown. Before leaving England, Winthrop had been elected governor and Thomas Dudley deputy-governor. Many of those who came with Winthrop separated and founded Roxbury, Lynn, Medford, Cambridge and Watertown. According to Thomas Dudley, about 200 of the emigrants died the first year in New England.
A somewhat violent disagreement between Dudley and Winthrop, the first of many owing to Dudley's touchy and over-bearing temper, occurred when Winthrop abandoned the chosen settlement and moved to Boston. Dudley subsequently moved to Ipswich but after a short time, in order to be nearer the seat of government, settled at Roxbury. He built on the west side of Smelt Brook, just across the watering place, at the foot of the hill where the road that runs up to the First Church joins the Town Street.
Although Thomas Dudley was 54 years of age when he landed in New England, he still had a long public career ahead of him. Throughout the rest of his life, he was almost constantly in public office. He was four times elected governor and thirteen times made deputy-governor. When not occupying either of these offices, he was usually to be found in the House as an Assistant. When the Standing Council with the idea of forming a body of members for life, Dudley was one of the three first chosen. When the New England Federation was formed in 1643, Dudley was one of the two commissioners chosen by Massachusetts to confer with those of the other colonies. There is hardly an event in the life of the colony during his own in which he did not act a part.
Thomas Dudley and Simon Bradstreet (both future governors) founded Cambridge in 1631. Thomas, however, lived for many years in Roxbury (now part of Boston). In 1636, he was one of twelve men appointed by the General Court to consider the matter of a college at Newtown (Cambridge) and was one to report favorably on the project. In 1650, as governor, Thomas signed the original charter of the new college, named Harvard College.
Thomas was a strict Puritan and clashed several times with other leaders of the colony. He was known to be very inflexible in his views. Cotton Mather wrote that if Thomas Dudley had been alive at the time of the witchcraft trouble, New England would never have been disgraced by the bloodshed of innocent persons. He was one of the principal founders of the First Church at Boston and in the church now standing at Berkley and Marlborough streets is a tablet with the following inscription:
THOMAS DUDLEY. FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS GOVERNOR OR DEPUTY GOVERNOR OF THE MASSACHUSETTS BAY COLONY. AS GOVERNOR HE SIGNED THE CHARTER OF HARVARD COLLEGE. BORN IN ENGLAND 1576. DIED IN ROXBURY 1653. A MAN OF APPROVED WISDOM AND OF MUCH GOOD SERVICE TO THE STATE.
Thomas was evidently as strong in body as he was unyielding in temper and unbreakable in will. Dorothy Dudley died in 1643 and Thomas remarried to Catherine Dighton. By her he had three children, the most noted being Joseph Dudley (1647) the future royal governor of Massachusetts, who was born when the old man was 70 years of age.
Dudley was an able man with marked executive and business ability. His integrity was unimpeachable. His eye, though somewhat religiously jaundiced, was single to the public interest as he saw it. He was something of a scholar and wrote poetry, read in his day, but unreadable in ours. In him, New England Puritanism took on some of its harshest and least pleasant aspects. He often won approval, but never affection. He was positive, dogmatic, austere, prejudiced, unlovable. He dominated by sheer strength of will as a leader in his community. Like many of the others, he was no friend to popular government and a strong believer in autocracy. Opposed to the clergy in one respect, he believed that the state should control even the church and enforce conformity as the superior, and not the handmaid, of the ecclesiastical organization.
Thomas was a thrifty man, who became one of the largest landowners in Roxbury, He was a "trading, money-getting man" and was said to be somewhat hard and "prone to usury." When he died, his property was valued at £1,560 and included bandoleers, corselets, some Latin books, some on law, some that indicate a taste for literature, and many on the doctrines of religion.
On July 31, 1653, Thomas Dudley died at the age of 77 at Roxbury, Massachusetts. There was a great funeral, with the most distinguished citizens as pall bearers. the clergy were present in large numbers. Military units were present with muffled drums and reversed arms. He was buried at Roxbury, near his home, where his tomb may be seen on the highest point of land. His epitaph was written by Rev. Ezekiel Rogers and reads as follows:
In books a Prodigal they say;
A table talker rich in sense;
And witty without wits pretense;
An able champion in debate;
Whose words lacked number but not weight;
Both Catholic and Christian too;
A soldier timely, tried and true;
Condemned to share the common doom;
Reposes here in Dudley's tomb;
There has been much debate among historians and some genealogists concerning descent of the Massachusetts Dudleys from the famous Barons Dudley of England. Suffice it to say that Rev. Samuel Dudley, oldest son of Thomas, claimed such descent during his lifetime and apparently was not challenged. Furthermore, Thomas Dudley was accustomed to using the arms (seal) of the Barons Dudley to seal legal documents bearing his signature. In fact his will, written with his own hand, was sealed with the Dudley arms, indicating that he was descended from the Sutton-Dudleys of Dudley Castle. It was a serious offense under English law to use arms under false pretenses.
HIS RELATIONSHIP TO DUDLEYTOWN: Ed and Lorraine Warren say that Gov Dudley was an Uncle to the Dudleytown brothers (see "Ghost Hunters") and that he was "hacked to death in the vicinity of Dudleytown, and the murderer was never caught." As we can see, the Warrens never did any research into their claims. Gov Dudley died 84 years BEFORE the first Dudleytown brother set foot there, and that he died of natural causes in Roxbury.

Hello,
I am looking for the burial of a cousin, John Carroll. His wife Julia Carroll was buried in Milton Cemetery 15 Dec 1997. Her husband John died before her, possibly in 1973, but I don't know that for sure. I am interested in learning if John and Julia are buried together, and what John's burial information consists of. If there is a fee for this I will be glad to forward it.

Subject: Uncle Harry
Hello All,
John Webster called me a few minutes ago to let me know that Uncle Harry passed away this past Mon. eve. at 10 pm. Tom is doing well as he was expecting this, and he has a wide circle of friends and support. There will be a memorial service in a few days at his church, but no wake or funeral, and no flowers are necessary. John will send a copy of the obituary and donations can be made in Harry's name to the place designated at that time. He will be cremated and his ashes spread over the golf course he frequented, as were Olga's ashes. John is there with Tom looking out for things as he has in the past. He is also looking into getting a plaque to go in the memorial garden of the church, more for Tom's benefit than anything. That will not be ready till spring, and he has no details as yet. I told him I would help with the expense of that if needed.
Sad news but good at the same time, as Harry's quality of life the past few years was not good. He did not have Alzheimer's, but more a form of hardening of the arteries causing a form of dementia, but they are not even calling it that. At least that is what the Dr. told John.
If anyone feels they would like to talk to John, he is at Tom's. John did not give me the phone number, but from my caller ID it is: 219-288-5451. (South Bend Indiana).
Take care,
Jo

Hi to Joanne and Gene from Mary-Jeanne. Thanks to Joanne for writing about my Aunt Marie. And thanks to Gene for the article about the old man in the mountain.
It seems that my geekjoy mail address is now fixed, although there may be some intermittent outages in the next few days --- we've been having ISP difficulties, but I think we've got our geekjoy domain name transferred to its new and hopefully better location. So you can now write me again at my regular address If it does bounce, then try However, I only check the yahoo address once a week, so I rarely use it. Don't use it unless geekjoy seems broken.
Here is an update on my Aunt Marie:
On Saturday May 3, 2003, Marie (Forde) DeRubeis died at the age of 88. (for funeral details see later in this email).
Marie was the middle daughter, (and the last surviving daughter) of Matilda (Vogt) Forde. Matilda was the youngest child of Paul Vogt and Isabelle DuPuis of France.
Matilda (Vogt) Forde was born in Everett in 1892. She was married to Harry Forde in civil ceremony in Maine, while pregnant with their first child Marguerite. After Marguerite's birth, Matilda and Harry were married in the Catholic Church in Everett.
Marguerite married Norman Sheppard. Norman was a Protestant. They had one son, but he was estranged from them. Norman junior married in New England and had some children in New England. Then Norman junior left his family in New England and moved to Florida He remarried in Florida (2nd wife is "Mildred") and had more children there. His parents were estranged from him (or he was estranged from his parents) for many many many years. Marguerite's husband Norman Sheppard died circa the 1960's or 1970's. Marguerite and her son Norman junior finally made contact with one another in the 1980's. They saw each other a few times. Then they lost contact with each other again. He appeared at his mother Marguerite's funeral in New England in February 2001.
Marie (Forde) DeRubeis was the second daughter of Matilda (Vogt) and Harry Forde. She taught at Everett High School, and then she married Victor Emmanuel DeRubeis of Malden -- who was also a teacher at Everett High School. Victor Emmanuel DeRubeis was born in Italy and came to the USA when he was 6 years old. He attended Malden High School and Boston College. Marie became a homemaker and mother. Her husband Victor Emmanuel DeRubeis became head of the foreign language department at Everett High School and introduced all sorts of innovative programs for teaching foreign languages. Many different languages were taught at his school. Victor Emmanuel DeRubeis died in 1993. Marie and her husband Victor Emmanuel DeRubeis had three children:
1) Frances DeRubeis who married Stephen Meidell. Frances teaches first grade in Chelmsford Massachusetts. Note: She works in same school system as a distant Vogt-Litchfield cousin -- -- I thinks it's 2nd cousin Brenda (Litchfield) Benson. Stephen Meidell taught English at Chelmsford High and became the principal of Chelmsford High, until his early retirement in 2002. Frances ("Fran" or "Franny") DeRubeis and Stephen ("Steve") Meidell met at Boston College while studying to become teachers. They have daughters Julie, Erica, and Amy, and son Christopher. Julie married Kristian Sullivan in October 2000. They are expecting their first child in 2003.
2) Maureen DeRubeis who married Frederick Savage. She is a nurse who went to Boston University. Maureen works for Visiting Nurses. Her specialty is caring for the elderly. Frederick ("Fred") Savage is a pharmacist. They have no children, but spend lots of time with Maureen's nieces and nephews and Fred's nieces and nephews.
3) Victor Edward DeRubeis who married Diane Moul. Victor Edward DeRubeis is a newspaper reporter. He majored in Journalism at Boston University. Diane (Moul) DeRubeis is a physical therapist. She works for Visiting Nurses and is (or was) a co-worker of Victor's sister Maureen (DeRubeis) Savage at Visiting Nurses. Maureen introduced Victor and Diane to one another. Victor Edward DeRubeis and his wife Diane (Moul) have three children: Paul, Emma, and Sarah. (Emma and Sarah are fraternal twins).
The mother of Frances (DeRubeis) Meidell, Maureen (DeRubeis) Savage and Victor Edward DeRubeis -- was Marie (Forde) DeRubeis, daughter of Matilda (Vogt) Forde. Marie died Saturday May 3, 2003 at Sunny Acres nursing home in Chelmsford Massachusetts. She was 88 years old. Her husband Victor Emmanuel DeRubeis died in 1993. Wake will be Wards funeral home, Everett, on Tuesday May 6, 2003. Funeral Mass at St. Theresa's Catholic Church, Everett on Wednesday May 7, 2003. Burial will be Glenwood Cemetery, Everett. (same cemetery as many of Vogt clan). | Source (S536)

Hello again,
Thank you ever so much for the incredible family tree information----I am truly overwhelmed, both by the volume and your speed and generosity in sending it all!!
Rob, obviously my little Thomas misunderstood your request for the Parker photo and thinks that I am coming to visit you. If the opportunity presents itself, I would be delighted to take a photo at Fenit island. Exactly what is it that you might be looking for in such a photo? Is it a home or just a generic shot?
I was excited to be going back to Ireland, but you folks have greatly increased the level of excitement and anticipation. The last time I was there, nearly 20 years ago, the country was in a particularly bad way. They had a triple strike going on: petrol, mail and telephone. It was next to impossible to fit in much each day but we were thanked many times for braving the strikes to bring much needed tourism to our suffering "cousins". Since I am first committed to the dancing practices and competition for my Flannery Anne, I do not know how much "of a leash" I shall have. I would love to be able to fill in even one piece of our "tree puzzle".
I thank you again for your help. Keep us in your prayers for a safe journey and we will carry you and your families in our thoughts and prayers as we enjoy the land from whence we have all come.

Subject: Barbara, stuffing, anniversaries
Dear Joanne and Gene,
As you may remember, I wrote to you back in March 2001 about the Vogt turkey stuffing recipe. I included a copy of the recipe that was on Gene's website and I asked if anyone else had a version of the recipe.
I also sent a copy of my message to Barbara Clancy. I had not heard from her in over a year. The following is what she wrote back to me.
Please note that she thought that the recipe I sent was my recipe --- But she didn't realize that it was NOT my recipe -- it was the recipe that I had copied from Gene's website. Also please note that it was my Aunt Marguerite (Forde) Sheppard that died -- not my Aunt Marie (Forde) DeRubeis.
My Aunt Marie was living with her daughter Maureen (DeRubeis) Savage in Winchester, MA. But now she is in a nursing home in Chelmsford. The nursing home is near her other daughter Frances (DeRubeis) Meidell's home in Chelmsford. (our second cousin Brenda (Litchfield) Benson also lives in Chelmsford).
But I am not concerned that Barbara's letter had some minor errors. What is important is that she has been ill. I am very sorry to hear about Barbara's cancer. I had become concerned about her because she had not written in a long time, but I had put aside my concerns because I myself had been lax in corresponding, and I also knew that Barbara travels a lot.
Well, I am glad she is getting a break from the chemo so she can enjoy her summer.
Hope both of you (Joanne and Gene) are well. I know you have wedding anniversaries in the summer. Gene's is on July 4. And I remember that Joanne and her twin sister have a shared anniversary about the same time.
My sister Paula (Perry) Zeppieri was married July 1, 1967. I was a 9-year-old bridesmaid at Paula's wedding.
My first cousin Frances (DeRubeis) Meidell was married (I think!) approximately July 5, (July 10?) in 1971 (or 1970). I was a 13-year-old bridesmaid at Frances's wedding.
My mom Evelyn Forde and dad Ray Perry married June 27, 1941. A teen-aged Barbara (Vogt) Clancy sang at their wedding reception.
I guess June 27 -- July 10 was a good week for Vogt weddings.
Best wishes to you on your anniversaries. Let me know if you hear from Barbara.
Love,
Mary-Jeanne

Hi Kathy! What's this Mr. Vogt junk?? Its Gene. This is my home email. It took me a minute to figure out who you were, but the "Toner" clue helped a lot!! Thanks! Hard to think of Cape Cod when they're predicting more snow for tomorrow (Friday). We used to bring the family down there (to West Yarmouth) every summer for a week while the girls were growing up. Haven't been down there since we moved back from Germany 2 years ago, though. Almost 3 years now! Time flies! You might have a tough time finding hickory chips this time of year, but a place like Home Depot would be a good bet. Stores consider stuff like that "out of season," even though there's nuts like me who barbecue all year round.
Take care and keep in touch! You never know when or where the next family reunion will be!!
Gene

As well it might confusing (the Germany thing). The Gene Vogt from W. Roxbury is my half 1st cousin. I'm the Gene Vogt from Woburn, and I *did* live in Germany (with my wife and 2 daughters) for 4 years - 1991-95. Who'd have thought there were too many Gene Vogts roaming around!! When we had the first VOGT family reunion at my house in 1995, there were THREE Gene Vogts in the same room!
I don't know if Gene A. ( I'm Gene F.) has email or not. I never bothered to ask him!
Sorry to disappoint you. Take care yourself, and good luck finding the hickory chips!
Gene

Hi Barbara! How's it going?
I just had a couple of interesting email exchanges. It seems that Kathy Blair (nee Toner) picked up my email address from one of the emails you sent out to a bunch of people, and assumed I was your brother Gene. She initially sent a short message telling me about a number of things, but only in little snippets. It took me a minute to figure out who she might be and what the connection was, but I did not pick up on the fact that she thought she was writing to your brother, so I answered. My answer confused her even more than I was initially, and I finally figured out she thought I was someone else.
Anyway, I know how the TONERs fit into the picture, but I only have records of Amy and Peter. Is Kathy an older sister?
See ya!!
Gene (not your brother) Vogt
By the way, *does* your brother do email?

Hi, Gene. Yes, Kathy thought she was emailing my brother (who does not have an email address) and is totally confused!! I just straightened her out. Now: --- Kathy is Amy and Peter's aunt. Her brother,Peter, was killed in an automobile crash when Amy was only two years old and Gayle was pregnant with little Peter -- who is big and a 200 pound athlete now. Kathy is a crazy wonderful gal and is eager to try everything , the email thing being new to her,but she loves it. | Source (S589)

Towards the end of the afternoon break time, I went looking for - and found - the Mainz city archives (stadtarchiv). I went in about an hour before closing, armed with the knowledge that our almost-oldest known ancestor, great-great-great-grandfather Jean Henri Joseph VOGT, was born in Mainz 28 January 1762, and in my rusty and flimsy German, I started knocking on doors and asking questions.
I was finally directed to the records office, where I explained what I knew and what I was looking for once again (ganz auf deutsche), and the archivist went straight to a wall full of old wooden card catalog drawers (just the ones in libraries holding 3x5 cards), pulled one out and brought it back to me. In the space of the remaining hour, using that card catalog and some reference books, I learned the following:
I found GGG-GF Jean Henri Joseph VOGT's birth card, confirmed as being 28 January 1762. His father, GGGG-GF Jean Nikolaus (not Nikolas as I have it) VOGT, was a butcher and was born 15 March 1710 in the village of Lich (near Geißen) to Heinrich VOGT (also a butcher - ein metzger) and Anna Maria (nee WOHMANN) - our great-great-great-great-great-grandparents. GGGG-GF Jean Nikolaus VOGT was married THREE times; 10 June 1729 to Anna (nee FRITZ) from Mainz, 19 Feb 1740 to Catherine ELizabeth (nee SCHELL), and 6 Dec 1748 to Anna Marguerite Wilhelmina (nee ???? - born 10 Jan 1707 in Frankfurt). The 3rd wife is our great-great-great-great-grandmother.
I was not able to get copies of any of the certificates (they are in storage and it takes a number of days to extract them and make negative copies), but I will write a letter with the found information and request copies of the relevant documents.
This was by far the most friendly and helpful group of archivists I have encountered in all my searches in the US, Ireland, France and Germany. They were truly excited to see me and help (but not so excited that they wanted to stay after closing and continue! ;) . This was as far as I could go in Mainz anyway (short of getting the copies while I was there), as GGGG-GF Jean Nikolaus VOGT was not born in Mainz, but in Lich.
