Henry Hudson was born in 1632 in England. He arrived in Hungars Creek, Accomack Co, at age 17, and his will was proved 23 May 1707 in Somerset Co, Maryland. He was possibly a Quaker. He married about 1662 Lydia Smith, daughter of Henry and Ann Smith, They moved to Morumsco, Somerset Co, Maryland. On Sept. 4, 1666 Henry registered his cattle mark, which was a Fleur-de-Leis, the same mark that his father Richard had used for his livestock, and came from the old Hudson Coat of Arms. Upon registering his cattle mark Henry spelled his last name as "Huttson" and used this spelling for many years. (See They lived in Somerset, 17th Century Marylanders by Wilmer O.Lankford.). Henry purchased several plantations (See Colonial Families of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Volume 10, pp.110-114, ©2000 Vernon Skinner)
