The two marriages are not necessarily mutually exclusive - he may have been married to the first person and she died and he remarried the Susan you are familiar with. [Women died in childbirth more frequently than now, for example.] I am missing the information by which you decided what Susan's maiden name was, I guess; how did you prove the relationship of Elizabeth Aldridge to this family? Otho seems to have been an "in" name for awhile - I think I've seen two or three men with that name during the early to mid 1800's in Washington County. I gave you what I found in my sources for Washington County. I do not have a complete library - that is not possible because there is information that can only be found in Maryland Archives or in the courthouse that has not been published. I only have 2 volumes of the 7 volumes of cemetery records, there are other probate records published, etc. I don't want you to mistakenly think that all the available sources of data have been accessed with my lookup. That is why I try to include dates in my sources - some are very limited. You might ask the list if anyone is researching the Albert family - you might find more information. Good hunting!
