From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Paul Dudley (September 3, 1675 - January 25, 1751), Attorney-General of Massachusetts, was the son of Joseph Dudley
After graduating at 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.
He was a member of the Royal Society (London), to whose Transactions he contributed several valuable papers on the natural history of New England, and was the founder of the Dudleian lectures on religion at Harvard.
