Sarah Anne Royall, wife of Christopher Hudson?
Does anyone have any information on Christopher Hudson (abt 1680-1705), son of William Hudson (abt 1655-1701) and Elizabeth Jennings, grandson of Mary Bowman and Richard Hudson? Did he have a son Peter (abt 1702- )?
Was he married to Sarah Anne Royall, daughter of Joseph Royall Jr the son of Joseph Royall Sr and Katherine Banks?
Did she marry a second time as a young widow to John Bowman JR (1661-1727) who helped her raise Peter and called him his godson in his will?
