Individual Details
(1706 - Bef 1 Oct 1765)
Born note: Dorcas or Doren S. _____ b. 1704, New Kent Co., VA, d. bef 5 Oct 1765, VA (Goochland Co.?). Her first name proven from St. Peter's Parish, New Kent Co., VA when "Dudley Roundtree, son of William and Dorcas Roundtree was baptized March 2, 1728/9". Gregory Brown lists birth year as 1700. There is speculation that she may have been only one of William's wives since she is not found mentioned with his other children. ??? Her father is believed by some to be Ambrose Dudley. She is sometimes referred to as Doren Dudley. Because the son's name was Dudley it has been assumed that that was her maiden, since sons are often named for their maternal grand father. But, it has been said, they had sons named Turner, Richardson, Thomas, Randall and Randolph. Thus, her maiden name may have been Turner, Richardson, Thomas, Randall or Randolph. Who knows? It is noted that she had one son, at least two grandsons, and one great grandson named Dudley Roundtree. She had a son, a grandson, two great grandsons and one great great grandson named Turner Roundtree. She had one son, a grandson, a great grandson, a great grear grandson, a great great great grandson and a great great great great grandson named Turner Roundtree. She had a grandson and a great grandson named Turner Richardson Roundtree. John G. R. Roundtree states that there are eight Richardson Roundtrees on his branch and that the Roundtrees and Richardsons intermarried in Yorkshire, England. A Roundtree was mayor of York, very interesting for a Quaker to be an office holder during a period when Quakers were so unpopular. The Roundtrees were Quaker, but William and Dorcas' children were listed in Church of England records in VA. Some are listed as Quakers when they moved to SC, but their children did not marry into Quaker families...they had no problem fighting in the Rev. War and no objection to owning slaves. It took my family six generations to get back to the Episcopal Church. A research of 1700 l and records around land owned by William's father might well give clues as to her maiden name. Boys, in those days, seldom traveled far to find mates, often marrying neighbor girls. This is a questionable match until proven, right or wrong. It is listed in "Magna Charta" by Wurts, where she is listed as daughter of Ambrose Dudley WFT 15/818 lists birth year as 1693. Her date of birth given as 1693 by James E. Cox, 4818 Lee Rd., Phenix City, AL 36867.
