• Notes

  REFN: 923 [Captain John Bunch.ged] Christopher moved from Hanover Co. to Mecklinburg Co. VA. Christopher, a Captain in the military and the Revolutionary War, rode to the "frontier" with his men in 1758. It is possible that the "frontier" he marched to was the Dickson, Tennessee area evidenced by the migration of his children to this area in 1799 and 1800. A Mecklinburg County Will book (book 1 - page 312, dated 7/25/1778, recorded 10/11/1779) lists wife CARY and his children as heirs to his estate. About Christopher Hudson's sons: 1) WILLIAM, CUTHBERT, and JOHN show up as early Dickson Conty, TN residents about 1799 - 1800. 2) WILLIAM was a Lietenant in the Revolunary War receiving a substantial land grant for his efforts. 3) JOHN and CUTHBERT also appear to have fought in the Revolution and received land grants. 4) CUTHBERT was a Captain at the Dickson County outpost, and also fought in the War of 1812 with brotherJOHN.
