Robert Hudson was born about 1695, most likely in Northumberland County. For many years he was thought to be the first of two sons of Henry Hudson and Elizabeth Chinn. Later Y-DNA research by Hudson family members revealed that descendants of Robert and his brother, Thomas, came from different paternal lines. Robert is now believed to the son of Elizabeth's previous husband, John Trussell, because current Hudsons and Trussells are receiving matching Y-DNA results. It is possible that Henry gave Robert his name or that Elizabeth was very early in her pregnancy and remarried so soon after John's death that Henry Hudson really thought that Robert was his son.

Robert married Easter (Last name unknown) some time before 1720 and they had at least eight children together.

In December of 1740 Robert purchased a tract of land in Northumberland County from his brother Thomas for 5,000 pounds of tobacco. The land was previously left to Thomas in the will of their father, Henry Hudson. Robert Hudson's name is listed on a 1748 Rent Roll for St. Stephens Parish in Northumberland County.

Robert wrote his will on November 8th, 1750 and it was proven in Northumberland County Court on October 10th, 1757.

To wife Easter Hudson-all my estate whereon I now live during her widowhood, and if she marries all my personal estate to be equally divided between my seven children; Fielding Hudson, Thomas Hudson, John Corbin Hudson, Winefred Hudson, Darcas Hudson, Hannah Shapleigh Hudson, and Eliza France, except five shillings which I give to my son Rodham Hudson.
To son John Corbin Hudson-land and plantation I now live on after the marriage or decease of my wife Easter.
Wife Easter Hudson-and son Fielding Hudson executors.
Witness: Spencer Corbell and Joanna Corbell.
