This is very valuable information about the children of Nathan and Hannah's son James ALDREDGE (1785-1859) and his wife Anna WOOD (1791-1854): these included Joseph, Elizabeth, John Calvin, Sarah (m. Azariah/Amariah Mullen), Julia Ann (m. John Thomas), William E., and Mary Wood. The records I had received did not indicate that several of them had left Carroll Co, IN and gone to Story Co, IA, so this is really helpful to know. Since this is not the family I personally research, I'm sending this out to the Arledge/Aldridge research list, as well as to the ALDRIDGE-L list (rootsweb.com). You may want to join both of these Can anyone help Heather? Her email is HQuail@aol.com. Please also send a copy of your reply to this list (arledge@tx3.com). Thanks! I got most of my information on this branch from Thurman Aldridge <aldridgete@aol.com>. Another very helpful and knowledgeable person is Jeanie Knight <knight@elite.net>. They both have trees on Clay Fulcher's Aldridge web site <http://www.tx3.com//~arledge>. Also, Heather, be sure to get in touch with Suzanne Alldredge Evans <suzy@appletreephoto.com> who is also researching the Nathan Alldredge family. She says that Nathan was the won of William Aldridge and Elizabeth Symons. There are a huge number of researchers working on the descendants of William and Elizabeth (of Randolph Co, NC), so you should be able to exchange some valuable information with some of them. I know that there were two William Aldridges about this same age who lived in that part of NC are often confused. Here is a quote from Franklin R. Aldridge's Aldridge Papers, Vol 2. Franklin R. Aldridge was a man who did exhaustive combing of records throughout eastern and southeastern US looking for Aldridges, Alldredges, Arledges, etc. Some of his conclusions have been more recently found to be in error, but his work is one of the primary published sources on the Aldridge (etc) family history: > FR Aldridge Volume 2 says : The family > of Aldridges that settled in Randolph were perhaps children of one > William, who came there from Maryland, the same in 1755 tax list of > Orange. His sons were perhaps William, Nathaniel, Joseph, Nathan and > others. As previously mentioned, William, born 1702, and James, born > 1706, sons of Nicholas and Martha of Anne Arundel Co, Maryland, did > travel from Maryland to North Carolina at a very early date. One William > Aldridge with wife Elizabeth died in Randolph Co.in 1789, leaving a will > naming his children. His sons Ezekiel, John and Samuel went to Posey > County, Indiania. Nathaniel went to South Carolina, Nathan died in Knox > County, Tennessee. Joseph probably died in Orange. Ben Alldredge <jballdredge@olympus.net> has also done extensive research on the various William ALDRIDGE/ALLDREDGE/ALLREDs of Randolph County, NC. He recommended Memory Aldridge Lester's 1957 Alldredge book for a William Aldridge-Aldred "with the exception that she gave page 328. A record search revealed that the cited Book & Page numbers ARE NOT Orange County Deed Book references. The search also revealed that many of the early Granville Grants are not in the NC Archives (none of the Granville Grants cited in Memory Lester's book were found). What follows is from secondary sources." You may find the folllowing information sent by Ben Alldredge to be helpful: > > William D. Bennett, "ORANGE COUNTY RECORDS, VOL.

I know that there are a lot of people on the two Aldridge lists who can help you as well. The Randolph County NC information, as far as I know, is still unresolved about which William is which, but it seems sure that one of the Williams was Nathan's father! I'd be interested in hearing more from anyone who has more recent information on this. Thanks!

Over a year ago a man named Clay sent you my email and you in turn sent me the descendants of Nathan Aldridge because I was looking for Clement Wood Alldredge. You and I suspected that I might have come from the Hannah (Aldridge) and Clemet Wood line. I kept the email eventhough I could not prove my relation to Nathan Aldridge. I believe I can now prove it. While looking at the 1860 census for Story Co. Iowa, I found Clement Wood Alldredge (C.W. my gg grandfather) as a 6 year old. His father's name was J.C. Aldredge (the enumerator spelled it with only one L). Also listed was William E. Aldredge and a family named Meullen. They are listed as the following "families numbered in order of visitation": Line # 27, family 512 William E. Aldredge b. TN wife, Martha? Line# 32, family 513 Amarich Meullen b. KY wife, Sarah b. TN *Line 40 same family last child listed at Joseph Aldredge age 4 Next page Line #2 family 514 J. C. Aldredge b. TN wife Nancy Children: Joseph J. 17 M C.K. 16 M John S. 14 M M.or W. E. 12 M Meary? C. 10 F Clement W. 6 M Amariah 2 (smudged) After reading this I figured J.T., Sarah and William E. where siblings, all being born in TN and with Sarah having a child named Aldridge living with her. So I looked back to your email to see if I could find any one who was listed with the Nathan descendants who could fit the "J.C." initials. I found John Calvin Aldridge son of James and Anna Wood! I also found J.T.'s siblings, William E. and Sarah (Aldridge) Mullen! I am wondering if there is anything (published or not) on Nathan Aldridge. >From your email his birth is written at abt. 1739 in NC. Do we know where they came from? My grandmother is very interested in finding out what nationality she is for sure. Do you know anyone who would be interested in knowing about the children of James and Anna (Wood) Aldridge? Let me know what you think and thanks so much for the email, Heather --------------355F69D994E50B26054EA290--

Dear Aldridge, Alldredge and Allred researchers, I need your help on this one. I've been gathering information for several years now, in bits and pieces, on the Aldridge and Arledge families of Randolph Co, NC and surrounding counties. Since my father's family is from Person Co, NC, I've also found some documents about Aldridges in Person and Caswell Counties. I've tried to take what I've found and piece together this family in my database. This is cobbled together from MANY sources, some more reliable than others. I don't publish any of this on the web, since it's only a secondary research interest of mine. However, people do frequently write me to request information, and so I want to make sure that what I have is as accurate as possible. I'd like to ask you to look over the MODEL I propose below for the children and grandchildren of William ALDRIDGE/ALLRED/ALLDREDGE/ALLRIDGE and Elizabeth Symons of Randolph County, NC. If you have information or documentation that confirms or negates any of this, please let me know. If you have more specific dates for these people, *please* let me know. Some of this is newly-connected (that is, I don't think it's come from any published sources--such as the connection of Joseph Aldridge of Caswell/Person County as a son of William and Elizabeth), and some has been passed around for a long time. Of course, having been passed around, or even published, doesn't necessarily mean it's correct. I'd really like to get this one family in particular straightened out, since they are linked to, and ancestors of some branches of, the ALDRIDGE, ALLDREDGE, ALLRED and ARLEDGE families. (e.g. Balaam Allridge's daughter Betsey married Henry William ARLEDGE, so she is the ancestress to a large branch of the ARLEDGE family in TN and TX and beyond). By the way, "HOH" stands for Head of Household in census reports. I'd really appreciate your feedback on any of this, and would like to build a stronger body of documentation for each of these relationships. Thanks in advance for your help. *Please* keep in mind that this model may contain errors, so please DO NOT ACCEPT IT ALL AS FACT until we have more proof. However, it's a place to start talking. Thanks!

Pam and Aldridge researchers: I was very glad to see some information concerning the Aldridge family of Randolph Co., NC. I have a couple of comments, don't know if they will help sort out these families. My gg-grandmother was Sophia Kivett, daughter of John A. Kivett and Rosannah Aldridge Rosannah was the daughter of William Ezekiel Aldridge and wife Elizabeth ??. After that I am not sure. You mentioned that you weren't sure who were William's parents. Either William & Elizabeth (Symons) Aldridge or James & Mary (Gassaway) Aldridge. >From different sources I have found James & Mary's marriage date as 25 Feb 1761, either that date is incorrect or this was a second marriage for James or these were not William's parents. In your information you showed a second marriage for Rosannah Aldridge to David Bower in 1811. In John's will in 1843, he mentions his beloved wife Rosannah, so I don't think she is the same Rosannah Aldridge that married David Bower. I have the oldest child of Rosannah and John Kivett being born before 1793, but I don't have any proof. Here is a copy of John Kivett's will. Book 7, p. 480. Will of John Kivett In the name of God Amen I John Kivet of the county of Randolph and State of North Carolina being in good health and sound memory Blessed be god this Fifth day of December and in the year of our lord one thousand and eight hundred and twenty Nine do make and publish this my last will and Testament in the manner and form Following that is to Say first for all of my just Debts to be paid I give and devise unto my Son Henry Kivett One dollar and allso I give and devise unto my Son John Kivet one dollar and I give and devise unto my Son William Kivet one dollar I give and devise unto my Daughter Elizabeth York one dollar I give and devise unto my Daughter Rosanner Kivet one dollar I give and devise unto my Daughter Mary McDaniel one dollar and I give and devise unto my daughter Nancy York one dollar and Allso I give and devise unto my Daughter Sophia Yorke one dollar I give and devise unto my Son Nathan all my land that is to Say the tract I now live on and the new entery in the hills adjoining Henry Routh land and allso I give and devise to my Beloved wife Rossanner Kivet and my son Nathan the wrest of all my stock of Every Description and all my estate and moveable property to be Euqally divided between them boath- I make and ordain my son henry Kivet and Nathan Kivet to be my Executors of this my Last will into for the intent and purpose in this will Contained in witness whereof I the Said John Kivet have here unto set my hand and affixed my Seal this day and year above written.
