Roger Ludlow
(1590-1665?)
Coleman,
Roy V. Mr. Ludlow Goes for Old England. Westport, Conn.:
priv. printed, 1935. A thirty-page work attempting to defend Ludlow
from charges by various nineteenth-century historians that he
fled Connecticut under a cloud. The title refers to Ludlow's departure
from Fairfield in 1654, when he was sixty-four years old and was
offered a position of honor and income in England. The book deals
also with errors in Coleman's own Roger Ludlow in Chancery
(Westport, 1934). Both these books are tempests in teapots,
though approved by Andrews and Gipson. Coleman is interested in
modifying, not altering, interpretations of Connecticut foundations.
Shipman,
Arthur L. "Connecticut's First Lawyer." Connecticut
Bar Journal l(April, 1927)2. Discusses Ludlow as a lawyer,
with particular reference to rights to land, Indian rights, original
patents, commissions and charters, and Johnson v. McIntosh.
Taylor,
John Metcalf. Roger Ludlow: The Colonial Lawmaker. New
York: Putnam's, 1900. This will do until a better comes along.
