Tudor, John Henry, 1782-1802.

John Henry Tudor was born in Boston on April 13, 1782 to Delia Jarvis Tudor (1753-1843) and William Tudor (1750-1819). His father was a Boston lawyer who had served as Judge Advocate of the Continental Army under George Washington prior to his service in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, in the State Senate, and as secretary of state for the Commonwealth. John Henry had three brothers and two sisters: William (1779-1830), Frederic (1783-1864), Emma Jane (1785-1865), Delia (1787-1861), and Henry James (1791-1864). He received an A.B. from Harvard, where he was a member of the Hasty Pudding Club and the Porcellian Club, in 1800. He enjoyed extensive travel and outdoor recreation with his family throughout his short life and spent much time in their company at Rockwood, the family estate in Lynn, Massachusetts. He died two years after graduation from Harvard, following a long illness and travels to Cuba, South Carolina, and Virginia in attempts to recover his health. Although little published biographical information about Tudor is available, the papers in this collection illustrate his sensitivity, intelligence, and devotion to family.
