His grandson is Henry Hudson III, the explorer.
The Hudson name dates back to about 1066 in the county of Yorkshire, England. The Hudsons are believed to be descendants of the Lords of Hoddleston who occupied the castle Millom in Cumberland, on the coast of the Irish sea. After the fall of the Roman Empire, there was fierce rivalry between the Norman's and the Saxons over Yorkshire and the land around the Rhine Valley. The early ancestors of the Hudson family remained after the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
There are references to Huda as a root for the Hudson name as well as the Hoddleston root.
The oldest known Hudson Coat of Arms consists of Three Lions in the Rampant position with three boars heads as supporting badges. The symbolism of the lions signifies rearing with strength, courage and loyalty as character traits. The boars' heads were badges that suggested allegiance to the royal arms of King Richard III.
THE HUDSON FAMILY
The name was racially Norman in origin and came to England with William the Conqueror. It has always been a tradition in the family that Henry Hudson III, son of Henry Hudson the explorer emigrated to Delaware in 1656.
The first authentic genealogy is found in the Church of the Grey Friar in London. Here is the tomb of Rudolph Hudson "citizen and alderman of London" who died June 27, 1530. He had eight sons and three daughters -- Thomas, John, Edward, Henry and Christopher are the only ones identifiable. Thomas, a captain in the Russian Fur Co. died in 1564 and John died without issue.
Henry, the son of Rudolph, was also an alderman of London and a director of the Russian Fur Co. Later he became associated with the Dutch East India Company. He died December 22, 1555 and is buried at St. Dunstans in the East. He had estates in Lincolnshire and Sussex. His wife's name was Barbara. They had a family of 11 children of which Abigail, Thomas, John and Henry are identifiable.
∼Gentleman Henry (Herdson) Hudson I was the son of Gentleman Rudolph "Rudulphus Herdson" Hudson and Lady Elizabeth Pyel. He was the father of Henry (Herdson) Hudson II, and the grandfather of Henry Hudson III, the Explorer, who the river and bay in New York were named after.
Henry I was extremely wealthy and had close relations with the crown and the nobility. Henry was named in Queen Mary's Charter, February 6, 1555, as one of the founders of the Muscovy Company. He was an alderman in the City of London, England, and a director of the Russian Fur Company. He was also associated with the Dutch East India Company.
Henry's official title was Gentleman, Alderman of London, Lord of Manors. He had gathered considerable wealth in trade and was lord over many manors, some of which were given to him by King Henry VIII for service to the crown. He was obviously of the aristocracy, demonstrated by his collection of titles and the ownership of a coat of arms that identified his family.
After the suppression of the monasteries by Henry VIII, the crown granted forfeited church lands at Hitchin, County Hertfordshire, to Edward Watson and Henry Hudson I with Henry receiving over a dozen ancient manors. (Simply put, when King Henry the 8th broke away from the Roman Catholic Church and declared the Church of England, he divided the land once owned by the Roman Catholic Church and gave it to the English aristocracy.)
Henry had estates and land in Lincolnshire and Sussex. Henry also purchased the manors of Bertrams, Newington Belhouse, of Walton, Folkston, Ackhanger, Terlingham, and Skelting. He was named as Lord of the Manor of Sweeton in Devon, the heart of Dartmoor - which is now a 5-star resort, coming in at number 2 in all of the United Kingdom.
The inscription on Henry's tomb in St. Dunstan's indicates that he had eight sons and three daughters with his wife, Barbara.
Here lyeth Henry Hudson's corps,
Within this Tombe of Stone:
His soul, through faith in Christ's death,
To God in Heaven is gone.
Whiles that he lived an Alderman
And skinner was his state:
To Verture bare hee all his love,
To Vice bare he his hate.
He had to wife one Barbara
Which made this tombe you see
By whom he had of issue store,
Eight sonnes and daughters three.

Henry I's tombstone and the cemetery where he is buried was sadly bombed and destroyed during WWII. The City of London chose not to reconstruct the church or the surrounding area. Instead they turned it into a lovely city garden among the ruins of this medieval church.
