She married Samuel Smotherman born 1794-1892. The first child born 1815 so maybe they mar. 1814 NC His name is Alfred. second one William and third Isom Green Smo. We show later Samuel is with an Elizabeth but all chid are in order like there was not a divorce or death and remarriage. So by long shot maybe she could be Elizabeth Lavina or (Lavenia) Elizabeth Aldridge I would think maybe born about 1790s NC. Alot of the Smo. were in NC or Smithermans. I will try to find more to go on. Thanks I will look thru all this web pages you sent. Gail --------------2DD7149AB9003CD74C09ECE2--

Hi Listers, Posting my info again...just in case. Looking for info on William M. Aldridge (Aldred, Aldredge). His tombstone reads 1849-1921 but his death certificate says he was 75 years old when he died which would mean he was born in 1846. His death certificate also says he was born in SC but his daughter's birth certificate says he was born in NC. There are no parents listed for him on his death certificate. I have found a census record from 1850 Randolph Co., NC that lists a William Aldridge 4 years old...but not sure if the same...need further investigation. He was married three times...the last two in Greeneville, TN. The majority of this family line is from Madison Co., NC/Greeneville, TN area. Descendants of William M. Aldridge 1 William M.

These cattle belonging to Isaac and William I desire may remain for and to the use of my wife until the boys comes of age. And after her widowhood is ended, I will that what is lent to her be sold at public sale and the money to be divided as follows.

Here is some updated information on JOHN ARLEDGE of Edgefield Co, SC, who is the ancestor of many, many of the Southern Arledges. These are my working notes, so please consider them accordingly. All conclusions are subject to change! I hope this is helpful to many of you. Someday I'll update my web page, but I wanted you to have this before then. Pam _____________ JOHN ARLEDGE OF EDGEFIELD COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA Pam Wilson Arledge Family History Project January 2000 wilsonpam@mindspring.com John and Anna Arledge lived on Turkey Creek, a secondary tributary of the Savannah River in Edgefield Co, SC as early as 1787. I believe at this time that John was probably the son of John Arledge and Elizabeth Thomas, originally of Northumberland Co, VA, who settled on the Wateree Creek near Camden, SC about 1748. Anna may have been a Duke, daughter or sister to John Duke of Lancaster Co, SC; this needs further investigation. Known and possible children of John and Anna Arledge include: -Isaac D (m. Rachel Harrington); -Elizabeth "Betsy"; -Esther (m. Weeks); -John "Jack" [m. (1) Martin? (2) Drady Owens]; -Burrell; -James; -Patience (m. David Baker Chandler). Most of you are descended through either son Isaac D. or son John "Jack"--their offspring went to Wilcox Co, AL then on to MS and TX. _____________ LAND RECORDS EDGEFIELD CO, SC: John AKRIDGE purchased from William MOSLEY 60 acres of land 12 April 1786 (Deed Book 1 p. 183, Edgefield Co, SC).

[Edgefield Deed Book 7, p. 252] State of SC 21 March 1792 Lease and Release from Jacob Youngblood of Edgefield County, Planter, to John ALDRIDGE of Edgefield County, Planter; for 5 shillings sterling paid by said Aldridge hath bargained and sold a certain plantation or tract of land containing by elimination 185 acres on the South side of Turkey Creek the waters of Stephens Creek and Sewana Rivers in Edgefield County, part of a tract of land containing 370 acres granted to Jacob Youngblood 5 June 1786. Survey description follows. "To have and to hold the said plantation or tract of 185 acres of land and all or singular the premises herein before mentioned and intended to be bargained and sold and every part and parcel thereof with their and every of their appurtenances unto the said John Aldridge his heirs and assigns from the day next before the day of the date of these presents for and during and unto the full end and term of one whole year, from thence next ensuing and fully to be completed and ended yielding and paying Therefore, unto the said Jacob Youngblood, his heirs and assigns, the rent of one peppercorn on the last day of said term if the same shall be lawfully demanded to the interest and purposes that the said John Aldridge by virtue of these presents, and by force of the statute for transferring uses into possession, may be in actual possession of the premises before mentioned and intended to be hereby bargained and sold in every part and parcel thereof, with their and every of their appurtenances, and may be hereby enabled to accept and take a Grant and Release of the Reversion and the Inheritance of the same to him and his heirs and assigns for ever.

JACOB YOUNGBLOOD (seal) wit: Isaac {his I mark} Aldridge Patience {her P mark} Aldridge Jas. Scott Recorded and witnesses sworn 19 Sept 1792 14 June 1792. Edgefield Co, SC Deed Book 7, P. 80-85, Indenture between John and Ann ARLEDGE of Edgefield County, Ninety Six District, to David Baker Chandler, minor son of Joel Chandler, planter of the Creek County District of SC: 519 acres on Turkey Creek, for 10 shillings Sterling, 364 acres of which are part of tract granted to Richard Johnston in 1786 and conveyed to Arledge on 6-7 August 1788 (Book B, p. 25 or 35); another 155 acre grant to John Arledge 3 October 1791 by Gov. Charles Pinckney of SC recorded in Secy's Office in grant book No. 5 p. 557. Signed John Arledge, Ann Arledge (their marks), witnessed by Joel Chandler, Jas. Scott and Patience Arledge (her mark). There seem to be terms of a lease to Chandler for one peppercorn rent. Sworn and recorded 20 Jun 1792, dower relinquished Nov term 1792. NOTE: For a number of reasons, I suspect that the above transaction may be a pre-marital transaction conveying land to Chandler who was planning to marry Patience Arledge. The selling price--10 shillings for 519 acres--seems extraordinarily low, really a token. [In another deed a few years earlier, in 1788, there is a sale of 60 acres for 100 pounds sterling, in contrast, to establish a relative sense of real estate values). Also, it seems odd for a single woman to serve as a witness, unless perhaps she is the fiancee of one party and the daughter of the other? Thirdly, the minor status of Chandler and the fact that his father is involved in this agreement would indicate that this is some transfer of marital dowry. Later land transactions: John Arledge sold land to Isaac ARLEDGE (which one? this seems to early to be his son) on Haw Branch waters of Turkey Creek 23 June 1805. Acquired 192 acres from David Jones 28 March 1809 (Edgefield Deed Book 30, p. 299]. Upon his death between 1817-1821, his personal estate was valued at $2179, not including the value of his real estate. He and his wife had at least 7 children: 4 sons and 3 daughters, with birth years (calculated from census records) from before 1774 until after 1790. Will in Edgefield Co, SC. dated 29 May 1817 (recorded 9-25-1821): see below. Will, Edgefield District Will Book C, page 75: "In the name of God Amen, I, John Arledge of the State of South Carolina Edgefield District, Being in reasonable health and of perfect mind and memory thanks be to God Calling unto mind the mortality of my body, and knowing that It is appointed for all Men Once to die do make and Ordain this my last Will and testament; "That is to say principally and first of all, I give and Recommend my Soul into the hand of the Almighty God that gave it And my body I recommend to the earth to be buried in decent Christian Burial, Nothing doubting but at the General Resurrection I shall receive the same by the Mighty Power of God and as Touching such worldly Estate where with it has pleased Bod to bless me with in this world I Give demise ad dispose of the Same in the following manner and form-- "Item 1st, I give and bequeath to my beloved son Burrel Arledge Two negroes Harry and Lewis also all my house hold furniture with all my stock of Horses cows and hogs all to remain in the possession of my Beloved wife Anna Arledge and for her to have the benefit of it during her life, "And I do hereby nominate constitute and appoint my beloved wife Anna Arledge and my beloved son Isaac Arledge my Exrt & Exr, but after the death of my wife my beloved son John Arledge, Jun, shall act with my son Isaac [Arledge as Executors of my estate], and that the Said Property be kept by my said Executrix or Executors for the maintenance of my Said son Burrel, but in case of his death to be equally divided between my Exrs.

Thus, he must have had a larger family than the 3 sons listed in his will. The same census also lists an ABSOLOM ALDRIDGE (who is later found in Kershaw County). The 1800 Edgefield Co, SC census (96 District) lists JAMES ALDRIDGE (30010-1001000) and JOHN ALDRIDGE (21001-0210104) as living in the same district (on the same page 187). JOHN had 2 males 10-16, one 16-26 and one over 45, and 2 females under 10, 1 10-16 and one over 45 and 4 slaves. JAMES was a younger family, with one male and female each 26-45 and one boy and 3 girls under age 10. Is this James the oldest son of John and Anna? It would make sense since he seems to have lost one older son between the 1790 and 1800 censuses. Or James might also be from the unrelated Aldridge family. 1800 SC/Edgefield Co: #187 James ALDRIDGE 10010-30010-00 #187 John ALDRIDGE 02101-21001-04 (John and Anna b. before 1755, with oldest son born 1774-1784, then two sons born 1784-1790. Daughters: one born 1784-1790, and 2 born 1790-1800. However, the 1800 census for Abbeville County section of 96 District lists a JOHN ALDRIDGE and a NATHANIEL ALDRIDGE (a Nathaniel was also listed in 1800 in Abbeville). The 1810 Edgefield County census has an interesting twist--it lists: ALDREDGE, JOHN Jr. 031 (one of these should be "Sr") ARLDREDGE, JOHN Jr. 031 ARLDRIDGE, ISAAC 035 John and Isaac are evidently two of the sons of John. Where is James? Update from another census source: 1810 SC/Edgefield Co: 031 ARLDREDGE, John (01001-20101-05 ) John and Anna (both b. bef 1765) and one son born 1794-1800; one daughter born 1784-1794 and two daughters born 1800-1810. 031 ARLDREDGE, John, Jr. (10100-00100-00) John born 1784-1794 and wife (same age range) with one son born 1800-1810. 035 ARLDRIDGE, Isaac (10010-30010-00) Isaac born 1765-1784, wife same age range, with one son and 3 daughters born 1800-1810. 1820 Edgefield County census lists JOHN ARLREDGE SR. (000100 11101) and ISAAC ALREDGE (11010 20110) and JOHN ALREDGE (310010 10010) The 1830 Edgefield census lists ANNA ALDRIDGE (widow of John, SR.) and ISAAC ALDRIDGE. Son Burrel is never mentioned except in his will. Could Burrel be the same as James? Or is James from another family altogether?

Can anyone tell me anything about Polly Johnson who reportedly married Waitstill Aldridge sometime before 1863? I believe her parents were Abraham Johnson II and Sarah or Susan Marks. And, this mother is reportedly full blood Cherokee. Tamara Suttle

Does anyone have source or proof for this marriage? Does anyone know the location in VA where this marriage took place? Tamara

Lynn Mendel <dee@europa.com> wrote to me a few years ago: In the book Aldridge records (PW: I think this is Franklin R. ALdridge's book she's referring to) the following is said: "Nicholas Aldridge was living in Anne Arundel County as early as 1678 and perhaps before, when payment of 50-lb. tobacco was made to him. He was in the rent roll August 1680 for land on the south side Magothy River. In 1707 his rent was twelve shillings for the three hundred acres that was granted to him 1681." "Lord Cecilius Culvert of Baltimore the second took up when his father died in establishing a colony in Maryland about 1634. The grant included all the land between the fortieth parallel and the southern bank of the Potomac River. Thomas and Nicholas Aldridge, who may have been brothers, lived in the county of Anne Arundel. Thomas was granted by Cecelius Calvert one hundred acres of land called "Aldridge Lott" in Baltimore County, in Chesapeake Bay, and on the eastern side of the bay, and on the west side of Chara Creek. Rent 4 Shillings, 9th June 1675. Nicholas Aldridge was granted by Chas. Calvert (Charles George Calvert the third Lord of Baltimore), three hundred acres land Called "Aldridge His Beginning" in Anne Arundel County. Rent 12 Shillings, signed 11th July 1681." "A shilling is worth about $0.07 1/2 so Nicholas paid about $0.90 for his land. Thomas Aldridge paid about $0.30 for his land. We do not know if this rent was collected Monthly or Yearly. He was 28 years old when he received this land and only lived on this land for 27 years, since he died in 1708, at age 55 years." Thomas and Nicholas land grants were very near one another, both being near the county line of Anne Arundel and Baltimore Counties, so near they both attended the same Parish in Anne Arundel, where both their children's birth and Marriages were registered. Their parish was All Hollow Parish. After an extensive search of East Wellow, England church records, I found no records of a Thomas Aldridge with a father Nicholas Aldridge. I feel that the Thomas mentioned in the land records is probably a cousin, not a brother, since there was a Thomas with a different father (John Aldridge) mentioned. _____________ >From Mike Marshall <minchaelm@inna.net>: ALDRIDGE Thomas 1650 S. side Rappahannock River Transported by Sir Thomas Luntsford ELDRIDGE Thomas 1658 Va, freshes of Rappahannock River On 6 Oct 1658, Richard White, Cooper, Evan Davis and Samuel Mann were granted 1000 ac. in freshes of Rappahannock River for transporting 20 persons into VA including Thomas Eldridge. ELDRED Thomas 1659 Northumberland Co., VA At a court held on 22 Sep 1659, it was decided that Thomas Eldred was indebted to Major George Colclough due by bill from Martin Cole. George Colclough was the brother of Thomas Colclough, merchant of London, England. ELDRID Thomas 1662 MD Mentioned in Maryland deposition taken in 1662. Possibly the Thomas of Talbot Co., MD.

ARYLDRIDGE Thomas 1664 Northumberland Co., VA (?) or Westmoreland (?) On 20 Apr 1664, John Lee received a grant of 4700 ac. for the transportation of 94 persons into VA by his father Col. Richard Lee. Among these headrights was Thomas Aryldridge. A Richard Lee arrived in Jamestown in 1639 who had a son John Lee. He later patented land in Northumberland Co., VA. In 1658, this Richard Lee took his son John back to England to enter Queens College, Oxford. Lighthorse Harry Lee, father of Robert E. Lee was of this line. Richard Lee, the founder of the Lee family of Stratford Hall, came to VA in 1640 settling first in York Co., VA. Later, he took up land in the northern neck of Virginia including considerable land in Northumberland and Westmoreland counties. This Richard Lee also had a son named John. Both lines are related. ELDRIDGE Thomas 1667 York Co., VA Thomas Eldridge et. al. mentioned as debtors of the estate of John Fleete of York Parish, 17 Feb 1667. ELDRIDGE Thomas 1672 Accomack Co., VA ?

Signed Edward Goodrich. ______________ >From Pam Wilson: One of the THOMAS ALDRIDGEs I believe the previous messages referred to was Thomas Aldridge b 1637, the son of Clement Aldridge, which would make him brother to Clement of Northumberland (granddaddy of all us Arledges) and of George of Talbot CO, MD (granddaddy of Aldridges and Eldridges). George also had a son Thomas, of Talbot Co, MD. Did this Thomas son of Clement marry and have children? Does anyone have any evidence that Nicholas (m. Martha) had a brother named Thomas? I haven't seen any so far. Why would Nicholas name his oldest son Thomas (b 1680, m. Elizabeth Purdy)? I believe this son was named after Martha's father Thomas Besson, introducing the Thomas name into this branch of the Aldridge family. However, there appears to have been a Thomas Aldridge b. c. 1637 in the Aldridge family that came from Norfolk, England to VA/MD. And there is a later Thomas Eldridge/Aldridge in the Isle of Wight, VA family. I'll send some of that data separately. Does anyone have any clues on this?
