From 'Lionel Udall & Abigail Bill, Stonington, Connecticut, Progenitors of one Udall/Udell America,' a Review by C. Melvin Bliven.
From Page 114
==================================
LIFE OF JOHN UDELL.
My ancestors were English. My great-grandfather, Lionel Udall, was an innkeeper and physician in Exeter, England. During King James' Rebellion, a party of rebels called for lodging at his house, and he, not knowing their character received them; an act then considered treason to the crown, and punished with death, the same as rebellion itself. The rebels were pursued by the officers of the crown, and taken. My grandfather ignorant of what might be his fate if he fell into the hands o the officers, gave his wife Anne some hasty directions to dispose of his property, and with their only child Lionel, to follow him, escaped through a back window, with is pill-bags o his arm, and went on board a ship owned by him, then lying in the harbor, and set sail for America. Overtaken by a storm the ship and cargo were lost; but the passengers were saved by another vessel, and landed at Stonington, Connecticut, where my grandfather settled, and resumed the practice of medicine.
After hearing of the death of his wife and child, in Exeter, he married Abigail2 Bills, of Stonington, and had by her eleven children (six daughters and five sons,) as shown by his family record.
