General Notes
- Dudley Digges, of York county, was son of Edward Digges, governor of Virginia. Sometime in 1698 Gov. Andros appointed him a member of the council, but for some reason he was not continued in office by Gov. Nicholson, and on Jan. 4, 1699-1700, the lords of trade and plantations wrote to Nicholson that they approved of his action in not admitting Col. Digges.
  
  Whatever the objection may have been it was removed in a few years, for on Feb. 23, 1703- 04, the Queen appointed Col. Dudley Digges to the council, as had been recommended by Gov. Nicholson. He was also included in a new commission dated Feb. 23, 1709-10. In 1705 Digges was appointed auditor and surveyor-general of Virginia, offices which he held until his death, Jan. 18, 1710-11.
