Hi Chuck,

I've seen a couple T206 cards that are stamped "Collect and Credit T. U. Dudley Jr."

I believe your card was owned by Thomas Underwood Dudley, Jr. of Louisville, Ky. He came from a family of nine children. Dudley, Jr. was the son of a noted Bishop and Confederate Civil War Major T.U. Dudley, Sr. who died in 1904. There's more info in the January 23, 1904 New York Times.
