General Notes:
Dudley's older brother John married Bridget Evans in Carlow on 27th June 1775. Bridget's death is recorded in Monumental inscriptions for Clonmulsh, Co Carlow, where a blue slab indented in the wall of the church reads:
"Sacred to the memory of Mrs. Bridget Hill, this monument is erected by an affectionate husband, who with a number of bewailing children all rest in hope that here many virtues on earth may be rewarded in heaven by that omnipotent power who is always merciful to his creatures as they are obedient to his will. Knowing that her redeemer liveth, resigning herself to his mercy, and imploring his blessing on the family she was leaving after her, she died on the 11th of July, 1814, in the 54th year of her age."
John was living at his residence at Barnhill Co Carlow (or Kildare) in November 1821, when he wrote the letter recorded in his grandson's contribution to Notes and Queries regarding Captain Richard Hill. His wife Bridget was the daughter of Nathaniel Evans and Maria Eustace. Maria's father, Edward Eustace, was married to Bridget Longfield and he was a Carlow High Sheriff. John probably had a son John Colclough Hill whose wife Maria's death was recorded in the Sydney Mail15 of 14th October 1908.
Bridget married John HILL Esq. on 27 Jun 1775 in Carlow, Carlow, Ireland.
