The World Chamberlain Genealogical Society files list the same children you have listed, for William & Elizabeth (Littlepage) Chamberlayne of New Kent Co., VA, plus two others who died young.Source: Virginia Gleanings in England, by Lothrup Withington, Gen. Pub. Co., 1980, pp. 464-469.The names of these 6 children, William's heirs, are actually recorded on a tablet at St. Peter's Church where he was a Vestryman, and where he is buried.The records do not provide any information on two of his daughters, Mary and Elizabeth, and what became of them, but it's pretty obvious that you've hit upon Elizabeth's family.Congratulations!
I do see that the IGI (Mormon Online listing) provides data for this Hudson family, much as you have shown it, with the following additional details:
- Marriage of Christopher Hudson & Elizabeth (-?-) c1760, Chesterfield, VA
- Richard C. Hudson, b. 14 Dec 1761, St. Peter's Parish, New Kent, VA, son of Lewellin & Rebecca (Tatum) Hudson
For your information, William Chamberlayne is identified as #LN1146 in the lineages of genealogist David Conrad Chamberlin, Sr. (which lineage you can obtain from him if you wish).Also, the genealogist Philip J. Chamberlain has traced the line back a couple of generations, into England, with speculation concerning the line even further back.
It was Philip J. Chamberlain who, not long ago, republished a fascinating account of the first meeting of George Washington and Martha Dandridge Custis at the "Poplar Grove" mansion of Richard Chamberlayne, William's son, which was located on the Pamunkey River adjacent to the "White House" Custis mansion.
