 Dudley's sister Sarah Elizabeth "Sallie" Richardson (b 1873) is his only other sibling who had any children.  She married a George Winstead Bragg Sr (1862-1951) and was last known to be living in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee in 1969.  She had five children: Norma 1902, George 1904, Mildred 1908, Eugene 1911, Dudley 1915.
-By 1916 he had moved to Arkadelphia, [[Clark County, Arkansas]] where according to the book ''Clark County Past and Present'' he "...played cornet in Dwight Blake's band and in 1916 became director of the Arkadelphia Band.  He married an Okolona girl and taught music and tuned pianos in that town until his death."  His brother Charles was a painter.
+By 1900, the family had moved to Arkadelphia, [[Clark County, Arkansas]] except perhaps Sarah who apparently stayed in Tennessee.  In Arkadelphia, according to the book ''Clark County Past and Present'' he "...played cornet in Dwight Blake's band and in 1916 became director of the Arkadelphia Band.  He married an Okolona girl and taught music and tuned pianos in that town until his death."  His brother Charles was a painter.
 He married Ollie Shackleford between 1918 and 1920, probably in Clark County, Arkansas.  They had one child who is still living.  Ollie filed for divorce in 1928 "...when she moved from AR to Phoenix, AZ...the address listed for him was unknown."  He has no tombstone at Rose Hill Cemetery in Arkadelphia but "Dudley's family is buried there."
