The following Huddleston Genealogy is taken from "Huddleston Family Tables" compiled by George Huddleston of Birmingham, Alabama 1933. Text is available for purchase through Higginson Book Store in Salem, Mass. Also see Gage Genealogy on file at the Nokomis Library in Nokomis, Montgomery County, Il. Also see DAR Record copy of Belinda Suzanne Clayton, National #784871. Belinda is the paternal 7th great grandaughter of Captain William Montgomery Gage, whose married Mercy Huddleston. Valentine and Katherine (Chatham) Huddleston were the paternal 9th great grandparents of Olin Dale Clayton of Raymond, Il.

Valentine Huddleston immigrated to Maryland about 1663. He had numerous transactions in land on Patuxent River, in Calvert County, Maryland, between that date and 1671, when he is believed to have migrated to Newport, R.I., about the time of his marriage to Katherine Chatham. He was living at Newport at the time of the birth of his sons, Henry in 1673 and George in 1677-see "Savage's Dictionary of First Settlers", V. 2, p.487.
He was one of the 56 persons to whom on 06 Nov 1684, William Bradford and associates conveyed lands which included the present site of New Bedford (Dartmouth), Mass., which they had previously purchased from the Indians. Upon division, each purchaser received 800 acres. Valentine Huddleston lived and died there, as did several generations of his descendants.
Notes: Katherine Chatham was the widow of John Chamberlain, by whom she had Henry, b. 1659; William, b. 1661; Susannah, b. 1664; Peleg, b. 1666; Jane, b. 1667. Her sons lived in Monmouth, N.J. beginning about 1680.

Katherine Chatham was a Quakeress, who had been cruelly persecuted in Boston, see "New England Judged" by Bishop, page 420. "Yet a word or two of Katherine Chatham of whom I have made mention in the margin of what hath been said before. She came from London through many trials and hard travels to Boston and appeared clothed with sackcloth as a sign of the indignation of the Lord coming upon you in the weight and sense of which she came there and appeared for which instead of coming to a sense of your condition and what was coming upon you in the burden of which she came so far and through such hardship. You laid hand upon her and put her in prison out of which you would give no deliverance until with the seven and twenty aforesaid you drove her out with sword and club into the wilderness and that was the reward you gave her for her love in coming so amongst you. And such was your rage and cruelty to her that at Dudham she was not only whipped but the man that was with her and traveled together though you had little to say to him. After this she coming to Boston again you imprisoned her a long season there to pay a fine you laid upon her thinking to be rid of her that way in cold winter and sad extremities and sickness near to death but the Lord otherwise provided for her and disappointed you for she was took to wife by John Chamberlain and so became an inhabitant of Boston 1660.

Valentine Huddleston's son George, with his family, appeared to have disappeared out of Massachusetts about 1730. It is possible that they may have found a group or groups in other colonies. Henry's descendants are scattered through the States. A large group of them now reside in Eastern Indiana. The 1790 Census shows Peleg, with family of 3 males and 3 females, in Bristol County, Mass and Seth in Guilford County, N.C.
