War of 1812 soldier and longtime Lexington, Ky., Baptist minister.
Born in 1792 at Bryant's Station near Lexington, Thomas P. Dudley enlisted in 1812 in Capt. George Trotter's cavalry, but left the troop at Fort Defiance to act as assistant commissary to the northwest army. On Jan 17, 1813, Dudley accompanied a detachment under Col. John Allen to Frenchtown, Mich., where he was wounded in the Battle of Raisin River and was saved from the subsequent massacre by an Indian who took him captive. Dudley later served as quartermaster-general of the Kentucky troops sent to aid Gen. Jackson at New Orleans. In 1821, Dudley entered the ministry of the Particular Baptist Church at Bryant's Station, where he served at least through its centennary in 1886.
