CURATOR'S NOTE:
The question of Roger Dudley's parentage has been long debated.
Roderic Davis wrote (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~dav4is/ODTs/DUDLEY.shtml):
"There has been much debate among historians and genealogists concerning descent of the Massachusetts Dudleys from the famous Barons Dudley of England. Suffice it to say that Rev. Samuel Dudley, oldest son of Governor Thomas Dudley, the immigrant, claimed such descent during his lifetime and apparently was not challenged. Furthermore, Governor Dudley himself was accustomed to using the arms (seal) of the Barons Dudley to seal legal documents bearing his signature. In fact, his will, written in his own hand, was sealed with the Dudley arms, indicating that he was descended from the Sutton-Dudleys of Dudley Castle. Since it was a serious offense under English law to use arms under false pretenses, it seems unlikely that Governor Dudley would so openly violate the law without himself being possessed of proofs of his right to those arms."

Noted genealogist Allen Curtis believes he has proven the case for Thomas Dudley as a grandson of Capt. Henry Dudley. See The Mystery of Thomas Dudley's Paternal Ancestors By H. Allen Curtis and Roger Dudley’s Father Proved to be Captain Henry Dudley by H. Allen Curtis for a good overview of the currently accepted ancestry of Governor Thomas Dudley,
Edmund Dudley (first son), d. 1487, m. Joyce Tiptoft.
Edward Dudley (first son), b. 1459, d. 1531, m. Cecily Willoughby.
John Dudley (first son), b. ca. 1495, buried on 18 Sep. 1553, m. Cecily Grey, b. ca. 1497, buried with her husband on 28 Apr. 1554.
Capt. Henry Dudley (second son, requiring crescent on arms) b. ca, 1517, d. between 1568 and 1570, m. 1545-1550 Miss Ashton.
Capt. Roger Dudley, b. ca. 1550, d. in battle bef. Oct. 1588, m. 8 June 1575 Susanna Thorne, baptized 5 Mar. 1559/60, d. aft. 29 Oct. 1588.
Governor Thomas Dudley.
There was another version of the ancestry that was put forth in the 1800s that claimed that Roger Dudley's parents were John Dudley, d. 1545, m. Elizabeth Clerke.
note: John Dudley and Henry Dudley were cousins, their common grandfather being Sir Edward Sutton, 2nd Baron Dudley. LDC
