He used the capital:: "R" as his mark. After his father's death Robert Hudson, along with his:: brothers Richard and William, was the ward of Thomas Poulden of Henrico:: Co. On 1 December 1688 he paid his brother Richard Hudson1600 pounds:: tobacco for the latter's share of the plantation at Roxdale which their:: father had devised them by his will of 25 Oct 1669. The plantation was:: the land their father had received from his father-in-law Bowman. It was:: in the possession of Thomas Poulden at the time.

On the same day he sold 235 acres to:: Robert Hudson on the north side of Swift Creek for 3 pounds. The deed was:: recorded 01 April 1704. According to the 1704 quit rent roll, Robert:: owned 281 acres. Since he had recent purchased 235 acres, his inheritance:: from his father may have amounted to 23 acres. He had earlier purchased:: his brother's share. On 2 Nov 1705, Robert Hudson and Thomas Polland Jr:: patented 940 acres in Henrico County, VA, on the north side of Swift:: Creek. The tract had originally been granted to Thomas Polland on 15 Oct:: 1698 who had deserted it. On 22 Nov 1707 William Byrd of Charles City:: County, VA, Esquire, sold for 250 pounds to Robert Hudson, planter, of:: Henrico Co a 46 acre tract at Roxdale where the said Hudson lived. Robert:: and Thomas Powlan, Jr., divided their 940 acre plantation equally betwen:: themselves on 5 March 1708. Hudson received the upper part. Robert sold:: Edward Stanley for 5 pounds a plantation on the north side of Swift Creek:: containing 135 acres on 30 Oct 1709. On 31 Aug 1710 Philip Jones and:: Robert Hudson sought to be discharged as securities for Elizabeth the:: wife of Daniel Fore for her administration of the estate of her late:: husband, William Hudson. Robert Hudson and John Ferguson patented 400:: acres on both sides of Swift Creek in Henrico County (Virginia) on 17 Aug:: 1725. They paid 40 shillings for the tract.
