    Not a lot is known about Henry Hudson’s personal life. What we do know is that he was married to a woman named Katherine and they had three sons together. Also, it is said the Hudson was most likely to have come from a wealthy family and apparently his grandfather discovered a trading company named the “Muscovy Company .

After making this journey, Hudson decided to turn back because he did not find the channel that he was looking for. Eventually, around 1610 or 1611, Hudson made his fourth and final voyage wandering through what is now the Hudson Bay.
