I found Malvina in the 1850 census living with the Hubbard Laboree family. She is age 16 and living with two other students. In the 1840 census there are two Aldridge families near Ladoga, Jeremiah in Clark Twp and William in Scott Twp. Jeremiah and his wife have two children, the female is of the age range that Malvina would have been. In 1850 Jeremiah is again in Clark Twp. He is age 43 and is from NC. He has three children, Margaret 19, William 8, and Mary 5. Jeremiah and his wife are buried in the Darlington IOOF cemetery in Franklin Twp. Jeremiah ( 25 May 1807 to 31 Dec 1896) and Mary (13 Dec 1808 to 27 June 1949). I did nor find an obit in the CPL database, but you should look in the papers anyway.

If that doesn't work, then you might try going through the sisters and brothers if Jeremiah (and it looks to me like his a 95% probability as the father) -- I only see one Margaret Aldridge marrying = Enoch Thompson - Enoch died in 1912 and Margaret is still living. She has two obituaries but they usually list a maiden name so not even sure this is the correct Margaret THompson or if it would list a desceased sister or not. Don't see any Aldridge men (William her brother particularly). Sorry. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip M.
