Over-reliant on Johnson (not "a wholly reliable source" as based on family accounts), and dubious: SandyGeorgia (Talk) 11:15, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Johnson says the earliest record of a Ludington in America is from April 6, 1635. On that date the ship Hopewell sailed from London for Massachusetts Bay with seven boys and four girls ranging from 12 to 22 years of age. William Bundock was the captain of the ship, which had already made several previous voyages to America. Among the people on the Hopewell passenger list was a "Christiom" Ludington. However, there are no confirmed records of any history about her. There is also a mention of a Christopher Ludington in the Virginia colony prior to 1635, also with no confirmed history records. The first confirmed Ludingtons in America are William (1608–1663) and his wife Ellen (b. 1617), and they are considered the American progenitors.^[1]
