Paul Dudley

Paul Dudley (September 3, 1675 – January 25, 1751), Attorney-General of Massachusetts, was the son of Joseph Dudley. Paul was born in Roxbury, Suffolk County, Massachusetts.

After graduating from The Roxbury Latin School and then Harvard in 1690, he studied law at the Temple in London, and became attorney-general of Massachusetts (1702 to 1718). He was associate justice of the superior court of that province from 1718 to 1745, and chief justice from 1745 until his death in 1751.

He was a member of the Royal Society (London), to whose "Transactions" he contributed several valuable papers on the natural history of New England, as well as the founder of the Dudleian lectures on religion at Harvard University. He died in Roxbury, Suffolk County, Massachusetts.
