Kendall Hudson (d. c. 1721), slave-ship captain with nine voyages from London between 1705 and 1720, in one of which (by the Fanteen Galley in 1708) he was shown with an ownership interest (three of his voyages in the Adventure between 1716 and 1720 have no ownership information, and he was shown as co-owner of the Fanteen Galley – which had made further slaving voyages after 1708 in which he did not appear as co-owner – as a privateer alongside Sir Thomas Grantham and David Milner in 1712). His will is short and was made in 1705, before his sustained commitment to the slave-trade. The will of his widow Sarah Hudson of Bath nee Buckeridge made in 1736 and proved 1741 is more informative: she left her interest as one of the nominees undertakers or co-partners in the partnership or undertaking for making the River Avon navigable to her brother-in-law Ralph Allen of Bath for life and then to his heirs.
