DUDLEY

I am researching a George Dudley, born in 1715 in England. I just recently figured out that he is my 7th great grandfather. This George Dudley came from England in 1733, per the Ancestry.com site there is an immigrant type of record and I found records showing him indentured for 4 yrs as follows:

George Dudley 4 yrs Indentured upon arrival
Added by debogrspr on 26 Feb 2009
The Valentine Papers, Vol. 1-4, 1864-1908 Randolph Family Goochland County Records George Dudley , Labourer, a servant to Isham Randolph of the Co. of Goochland for four years ending 4, of February 1737/8 , in satisfaction for the time of servitude due from the sd. Dudley , he doth agree to make for the sd. Isham Randolph one hundred thousand bricks and to set and burn them as they ought to be for use to enclose a garden with a double ditch of 300 feet square to pave with pebble stone a couch house, hen house, mill house and well house and to make for Richard Randolph 1400 bricks and to set and burn them as they ought to be for use, and then to be set free, reserving to himself his freedom dues, to which agreement we the subscribers desire the Courts approbation and pray that it may be recorded. June 30, 1736 . Ibid, p. 259.

I have added the above to my Ancestry.com site, having come across it in my miscellaneous searches on Ancestry.com. I show he died in 1791, in Butts Georgia. I am trying to go, now to England, to find who his family is. I can identify family names, which his children bear that match those names of families already present in Kent Co., VA and the surrounding areas. These said families came to America in the 1600's. It looks like the children could be cousins, maybe distant to the already present families. I have a feeling He is related to these other Dudley families because of where he first came to in America and so forth. The search has become quite confusing due to lack of confirming data as to who belongs to whom. Can you offer any advice or confirming data as to who comes from whom in England? Is there a reasonably accurate source available for the families concerned.
My family tree in Ancestry.com is: O'Grady Family 3 Tree

Please feel free to look at my site if you need. you will see the children's names there.

They had nine children: Mary, Elizabeth, George, Anne, Bridgett, Ruth, John Jr., Mary (2nd child named Mary) and Frances.

All of them are listed as being baptized and buried there. Births are from 1691 to 1715  and deaths from 1709 to burials in the church until 1719. The "Hilton's" then moved westward into Goochland Co, Fork Church (Fork Union) towards Bedford ending up in Russell, Patrick, Buchanan Co and others. ANY info on earlier Hilton's would be appreciated, I have a Tom and Hugh listed on the Colonial report in 1622-23, don't know if they are related, how can I find out? I know the records for the county have been all but destroyed thru fires, are there ANY left to be able to connect or locate lands, wills, estates etc? thank you so much for any help or advise you can lend.
