Hello.. This is a repeat attempt in hopes that there is a new lister that might be able to help me. I'm trying to find a clue to the parentage of my Great Grandfather William Winston ALDRIDGE. He was born in AR in 1864. His father passed away either right before, or right after his birth. His mother then took him to leave with "Uncle Main (Mane, Mann, ?), according to what he, William, told his son, my Grandfather. I found an A. ALDRIDGE, living with a Wm ALDRIDGE, on the 1870 White Co., Census. They were living in the household of looks like; Samuel MANN and his family. MANN, Samuel (?), 62, Male, Wht, Farmer, VA ", Elizabeth, 17, Fe, Wht, HK, Tenn ", William, 12, Ma, Wht, --, Tenn ", Joel S., 22, Ma, Wht, ?, Tenn ", Elizabeth, 17, Fe, Wht, HK, AR ALDRIDGE, A., 27, Fe Wht, HK, Tenn ALDRIDGE, Wm, 7, Ma, Wht, --, AR According to what William told my Grandfather, his mother died in 1874. My Grandfather said William never spoke much about his parents because they both died so early in his life. This makes a sturdy wall! Does anyone recognize the above family?
