Angie,
[I tried sending this earlier but it was returned to me. I don’t know if it got through to anyone, so am resending it to you.]
Thank you for sending all of this information. Coincidentally, after you sent some things last week, I went on the web to see if I could substantiate any of what John (Owen) Sullivan had stated for his parentage. I found the following sites (which you may already know about) that give a wonderful history, background, and confirmation of John’s line:
: West Cork and the Elizabethan Wars 1565-1603
: A Family Divided: The O’Sullivan Beare Case 1587-1601
: McCarthy Mors
: Ancient Through Modern Times in Celtic History 1,600 AD to 1699
: The Last King, Donal IX MacCarthy Mor,…
: John O’Sullivan of Cappanacuss Castle
: Sullivan Family Tree
: From Cashel to Carbery

Again, thanks and hope this helps.

Dunkerron. Their son Dermond, second Count of Bearehaven, was page to the King of Spain, Philip the 4th. In Thurloe’s State Papers, vol. 1st, 479, will be found a letter from the Bishop of Cork, O’Sullivan Beare and O’Sullivan More, dated 1653, at Paris in reference to a landing of troops, estimated from eight to fourteen thousand, in Munster. Smith, 2d vol. Page 236, ed. 1774, says that in his time there was an O’Sullivan Beare in Spain, ennobled as Count of Bearehaven, who was hereditary governor of the Groyne. There is reason to believe that this line is now extinct.
2d. Sir Owen, 14th Lord of Bear and Bantry, married Ellen, daughter of James, Lord Barry, and died 1594. In 1568, he succeeded his brother as chief, and 1570, received a patent from the Crown of the territories of his sept; but his nephew Donnell when he came of age claimed as his rightful inheritance Beare, Bantry, Ardea and all other castles and domains, including the castle and haven of Dunboy. It was finally decreed that the castle of Beare, its haven and demesnes, should be allotted to Donnell; Bantry, about twenty miles to the North-east, to Sir Owen; saving to Sir Philip, younger brother and tanist to Sir Owen, the castle of Ardea and its dependencies on the river Kenmare in Glenarough. Dermod, son of Sir owen, married a daughter of Cormac, Lord Muskerry, and died Lord of Beare and Bantry, in 1617. Their son Dermod, married Joan, daughter of Gerald Fitzgerald, 16th Earl of Desmond, and succeeding his father, died in 1618. From him descends Marshal MacMahon, the present Duke of Magenta.
4th. Dermod, born 1526, married Johanna MacSwiney, grand-daughter of McCarthy More. He was ain all the wars against the English in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, at the head of a large force from Beare, and in the Catholic war was the advisor of his nephew Donald with whom he went into Spain about 1602. He received a pension of six hundred pieces of gold from the Spanish King, and died at Corunna, at the age of one hundred years, about 1626, his wife dying the same year. His son Don Phillip published soon after a history of Ireland in Latin, reprinted in 1850, to which is prefixed a Latin elegy, giving an account of his family. Another son Daniel was slain in fighting against the Turks. His daughter Helena was drowned returning from Spain, and another, Leonora, became a nun.
3d. Sir Phillip, of Ardea, who as tanist to Sir Owen’s son exercised the supreme authority, and held the castle of Ardea appertaining to Tanistry, married a daughter of Cormack, Lord of Duhallow, who built the celebrated castle of Kanturck, still remaining in possession of the Earls of Egmont. His son Donnel is mentioned by Betham as residing at the castle of Ardea in 1613. He was the ancestor of Master Sullivan of Berwick.
For this we depend upon the two following documents, the first drawn up by Master Sullivan, when nearly a hundred years of age at the request of the wife of his son John the revolutionary General; the second a letter from Ardea, dated May 16, 1796, addressed to his son General Sullivan in New Hampshire.
“I am the son of Major Phillip O’Sullivan, of Ardea, in the county of Kerry. His father was Owen O’Sullivan, orginal descendent from the second son of Daniel O’Sullivan, called Lord of

Bearehaven. He married Mary, daughter of Colonel Owen McSweeney, of Musgrey, and sister of Captain Esmond McSweeney, a noted man for anecdotes and witty sayings. I have heard that my grandfather had four countesses for his mother and grandmothers. How true it was, or who they were, I know not. My father died of an ulcer raised in his breast, occasioned by a wound he received in France, in a duel with a French officer. They were all a short lived family; they either died in their bloom, or went out of the country. I never heard that any of the men-kind arrived at sixty, and do not remember but one alive when I left home. My mother’s name was Joan McCarthy, daughter of Dermod McCarthy, of Killoween. She had three brothers and one sister. Her mother’s name I forget, but she was a daughter to McCarthy Reagh, of Carbery. Her oldest brother, Colonel Florence alias McFinnen, and his two brothers Captain Charles and Captain Owen, went in the defence of the nation against Orange. Owen was killed in the battle of Aughrim. Florence had a son who retains the title of McFinnen. Charles I just remember. He left two sons, Derby and Owen. Derby married with Ellena Sullivan, of the Sullivans of Baunane. His brother Owen married Honora Mahony, daughter of Dennis Mahony, of Dromore, in the barony of Dunkerron, and also died in the prime of life, much lamented.
“They were short lived on both sides, but the brevity of their lives, to my great grief and sorrow, is added to the length of mine. My mother’s sister was married to Dermod, eldest son of Daniel O’Sullivan, Lord of Dunderron. Her son Cornelius, as I understand, was with the Pretender in Scotland, in the year 1746. This is all I can say about my origin; but shall conclude with a Latin sentence:
Si Adm sit pater cunctorum, mater et Eva:
Cur nan sunt homines nobilitate pares?
Non pater aut mater dant nobis nobilitatem:
Sed moribus et vita nobilitatur homo. J.S.
The letter referred to is as follows. “A grand uncle of mine having gone to America about sixty years ago, his relations have suffered greatly from being without the means of finding out his fate, till now, by great good fortune, I am informed that you are a son of his. If you find, by the account below, that I have not been misinformed, I shall be glad to hear from you.
“Mr. Owen O’Sullivan, son of Major Phillip O’Sullivan, of Ardea, in the county of Kerry, Ireland, by Joanna, daughter of Dermod McCarthy, of Killoween, Esq., in said county. They were connected with the most respectable families in the province of Munster, particularly the Count of Bearehaven, McCarthy More, Earl of Clancare, Earl Barrymore, the Earl of Thomond, the Earl of Clancarthy, McFinnen of Glanarough, O’Donoughu of Ross, O’Donough of Glynn, McCarthy of Carberry, Lord Clancarthy and O’Donovan, &c.
I am Sir, your respectfully, “Ardea, May 16th, 1796. Phillip O’Sullivan.”
The connecting links in the pedigree between Owen mentioned in the first of the above documents and Sir Phillip of Ardea, were supplied in 1860, by Mr. Daniel O’Sullivan of Ardea, since deceased at.

Muskerry, Donogh, was afterwards Earl of Clancarthy, and died in 1666. The father of Phillip, Daniel, is said to have married Margaret, daughter of the Earl of Clancarthy, who died in 1640, and who married Margaret, daughter of Donogh, 4th Earl of Thomond. The father of this Daniel is described in the letter as of Ardea Castle, and is therein said to have married a daughter of the Earl of Thomond. Two persons named Sarah O’Brien, of that family, according to Lodge, married in the sixteenth century O’Sullivans Beare. One, a granddaughter of the first Earl of Thomond, married as before stated, Donnel, 13th Lord of Bearehaven; the other a daughter of Viscount Clare of the same family, may have married said Donnel’s brother, Sir Phillip, of Ardea, but more likely one of his sons. The above statement stands the test of comparison of dates, and the aged gentleman on whose information we rely was no doubt substantially correct.
What part the family of Ardea took in the Catholic War or subsequent strife under Cromwell in defence of their property and religious rights, does not appear. O’Sullivan More lost a large portion of his territiories in the latter period. In 1653, he was in Paris with O’Sullivan Beare from Spain, making preparation for a descent on Munster, as mentioned above, with money furnished through the French King. From 1660, when Charles II was restored, all branches of the race enjoyed a brief respite of quiet and prosperity, but taking part with James the II against William of Orange, they were proscribed and banished. Major Phillip was with the garrison of Limerick, that, after a stubborn resistance, surrendered in 1691.
By the terms of surrender, such of the Catholics as were unwilling to abandon their religion and take unconditional oaths of allegiance to the English government, were to be furnished with transportation to France; and amongst those who preferred poverty and exile to this humiliation, was Major Phillip. He had married Joanna, daughter of Dermod McCarthy More, descended from the Earl of Clancarre who died in 1596, by Ellen daughter of McCarthy Reagh and Elinor, daughter of Lord Muskerry, who thus untied in her person the three principal branches of McCarthy More, Reagh, and Muskerry. Their property was confiscated, and they were reduced to poverty. The date of his death from the wound received in a duel in France, as mentioned by his son, is not known. He appears to have left two sons besides the subject of this notice, who was born on the seventeenth of June 1690, at Ardea, in the county of Kerry.
Little is known of his education. From its extent and thoroughness it was probably at some one of the seminaries on the continent, where his family in their prosperity had endowed, as was customary in those days, scholarships for the benefit of its members. He returned to Ireland to find even the terms of the surrender disregarded, and entered upon life under many discouragements. His original destination was for the priesthood, but this appears to have been early abandoned. Different traditions have been handed down with regard to his coming to America, but that which connects him with the effort to restore the Stuarts after the death of Queen Ann would seem the
Note: Clancarthy. Donogh, his son, the third Earl, married Elizabeth Spencer, daughter of the Earl of Sunderland, and becoming involved in the ruin of the Stuarts, was forced into exile and lived on the Continent.

Dear Angie, That was a fascinating, huge email you sent me. For a few minutes I was on the verge of deleting it before opening it. Because of the appendage/attachment sign on to it and the fact of it taking so long to come in, I was "sure" it was only another one of the many viruses with which we have been plagued for some time back. I had another two emails above it to play around with. So I deleted the one nearest to it, and then your covering letter showed up, which showed that what would be in the attachment was genuine. Had you not put in that first covering letter, I would have deleted the lot and you would have been wondering why I wasn't answering you.
I deal with the Co. Cork section of the Beara Peninsula ----- which takes in the most of it. But what you are looking for is the section of the O'Sullivan Bere sept in the Lauragh/Ardea district of the Tuosist Parish, Co. Kerry, and going right in to the area around Kenmare. The expert on that Co. Kerry section of the O'Sullivan Sept (and also on the McCarthys and the general history of that area) is Mr. Gerard Lyne M.A., c/o National Library of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. He is a native of the Tuosist Parish and has contributed many articles to the Kerry Historical Society's Journals over the years. Very recently he gave an excellent Lecture in Castletownbere entitled "The Kerry Lordship of O'Sullivan Bere", on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the Siege of Dunboy. His Lecture would have covered alot of what you were looking for. I was hoping that I might be able to get Gerard's email for you from Connie Murphy, Vice-Chairman of the Beara Historical Society. I have been trying for the past two days to get Connie on the phone, but he seems to be away on holidays.
So, under the circumstances, your best bet would be to get in touch by letter with Gerard at the above address. He may still have a copy of that Lecture, and may be able to add alot more. You could send him what you had in the email, and take it from there. A descendant of that Tuosist, Co. Kerry, section of the O'Sullivan Bere's came to Castletownbere, and his descendants were/and are known as the Masters (Schoolmasters). I have the Co. Kerry (and later the Co. Cork section) part of those O'Sullivans covered in my book "Who were my Ancestors ? Castletownbere Parish". The coverage of the Lauragh/Ardea (Tuosist Parish, County Kerry) section of that family goes back to a schoolmaster Patrick O'Sullivan (1720-1800). One of this section, General John O'Sullivan, was on George Washington's Staff during the War of Independence. His brother was later Governor James O'Sullivan of Massachusetts (incl. at the time the State of Maine). Another descendant was later Superior Court Judge for the State of Massachusetts. If you would like to purchase a copy of the book, it costs $50 U.S. overall (cost of book, packing, and postage by surface mail, which usually takes 4/5 weeks to be delivered in the States). A personal check will do provided it is drawn on a Bank (not a Credit Union ---- which will not be cashed by a Bank here; new regulations). My home address is: Riobard O'Dwyer (Genealogist), Eyeries Village, Beara Peninsula, Co. Cork, Ireland.
Very best wishes, Riobard (= the Gaelic for Robert)

James Sullivan
Sprague's Journal of Maine History
Vol. VII FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL 1920 No. 4
Page 171-187
James Sullivan
(BY JOHN FRANCIS SPRAGUE.)
There appears to be ample authority to substantiate the claim that the Sullivans of Maine descended from the O'Sullivans of ancient Ireland.
They were a powerful septa, who dwelt in the southerly part of Ireland and are now extensively multiplied on both sides of theAtlantic.
Many of them have acquired fame in all fields of American activities.
In common with other Milesian families, they trace their origin to a remote period in Irish history.
The bards and chieftains of the ancient Irish preserved their national annals from the beginning of organized government under the sons of Heber down to the days of anarchy and confusion
resulting from English invasion.
Irish historians assert that it is a well authenticated fact that under Queen Elizabeth, one measure adopted for the more perfect subjection of Ireland was an order to collect from the national
and private repositories these records, that by gradually weaken- ing, through their destruction, the spirit of clanship, the land might become an easier prey to the spoiler.
Fortunately, however, this order was only partially obeyed and in many of the ancient chronicles, or psalters which escaped this authorized vandalism frequent mention is made of the O'Sullivans,
and their chieftains.
For centuries prior to 1170 when the English invasion first began upon its shores, Ireland had been as highly civilized as any part of western Europe. During those times and to a more recent date the O'Sullivans, who were hereditary princes, possessed large tracts of lands in the Province of Munster, and along the shores of the Bay of Bantry and around the beautiful and celebrated Lakes of Killarney.
Their chieftains exercised an independent sovereignty and their domains for a long time remaining unmolested by the invaders they lived more peaceful lives than some of the neighboring clans.
But the power of the conquerors increased with each successive century until the brave O'Sullivans early in the seventeenth cen- tury were with the rest of the Irish nation prostrated by ruin and
devastation. To follow the vicissitudes of this once powerful clan to the time when John Sullivan left Limerick in Ireland and sailed for America would be a recital of one of the darkest chapters in the history of Great Britain. This was in the year 1723. Exactly what his destination was is not now known. The ship in which he sailed was driven by adverse winds on to the Maine coast and he landed in York.
0n this stormy voyage was the beginning of an interesting romance. On the vessel was a pretty and attractive child named Margery Brown, then only nine years of age. The circumstances
of her parents emigrating to America may never be known as it appears that they were lost at sea.
John Sullivan, when far advanced in years, wrote out and left with his family the following statement:
I am the son of Major Philip O'Sullivan, of Ardea, in the county of Kerry. His father was Owen O'Sullivan, original descendant from the second son of Daniel O'Sullivan, called lord of Bearehaven. He married Mary, daughter of Colonel Owen McSweeney of Musgrey, and sister to Captain Edmond McSweeney, a noted man for anecdotes and witty sayings. I have heard that my grandfather had four countesses for his mother and grandmothers. How true it was, or who they were, I know not. My father died of an ulcer raised in his breast, occasioned by a wound he received in France, in a duel with a French officer. They were all a short lived family; they either died in their bloom or went out of the country I never heard that any of the men-kind arrived at sixty, and do not remem-
ber but one alive when I left home My mother's name was Toan McCar- thy, daughter of Dermod McCarthy of Killoween. She had three brothers and one sister. Her mother's name I forget, but that she was daughter to McCarthy Reagh, of Carbery. Her oldest brother, Col. Florence, alias
McFinnin, and [its two brothers, Captain Charles and Captain Owen, went in the defence of the nation against Orange. Owen was killed in the battle of Aughrim. Florence had a son, who retains the title of McFinnin. Charles I just remember. He had a charge of powder in his face at the
siege of Cork. He left two sons, Derby and Owen. Derby married with Ellena Sullivan, of the Sullivans of Bannane. His brother Owen married Honora Mahony, daughter of Dennis Mahony, of Drommore, in the bar- ony of Dunkerron, and also died in the prime of life, much lamented.
They were short-lived on both sides; but the brevity of their lives, to my great grief and sorrow, is added to the length of mine. My mother's sister was married to Dermod, eldest son of Daniel O'Sullivan, lord of Dunkerron. Her son Cornelius, as I understand, was with the Pretender
in Scotland, in the year 1745. This is all that I can say about my origin.
It is a well authenticated tradition that he left his home by rea-son of his mother violently opposing his union with a certain young lady that ;he was deeply attached to.
Although his mother was a woman of wealth and high standing in Limerick he was nearly penniless when he left home and entered into an agreement with the master of the vessel to work for him
after his arrival, to pay his passage to America. Unaccustomed to labor he applied to Parson Moody, of York, whom he had been informed was a man of benevolence, for aid. The interview
resulted in his obtaining a loan of money from Moody and can-celing his obligation to the captain.
John was well educated and tinder the advice of Parson Moody and some of his friends he opened a school at Berwick and became successful school teacher in York County.
He sympathized with his little friend, Margery, who had been indentured in accordance with the colonial custom of providing for distressed children. As soon as his earnings would permit he
redeemed her from indenture and adopted her and brought her up and educated her as his own child. When she had reached the period of maidenhood she is said to have possessed unusual charms and attractions.
One day, while drawing water with the old well-sweep, a young man, clad in city attire, came by and engaged her in conversation. Fascinated by her charms. he then and there proposed marriage
She referred him to her father. The lover stated his case to Mr. Sullivan. He consulted Margery who frankly admitted that she had been a little coquettish with the good looking youth, but much
to his joy, he assured him that she had no thought of anything serious. But the circumstance revealed to him his own sentiment towards her, which he had discovered was other than paternal.
Her foster father made known his love. It was mutual and although he was twenty years her senior, so far as any records or evidence of the matter is now accessible it was a happy union.
He soon after purchased a farm in Berwick, to which he devoted his attention when not engaged in teaching. Much of the time he had two schools under his charge.
He has been described as "a marked man in his personal appear- ance, of great natural abilities and mental cultivation."
He was reared in the faith of the Catholic church. Amory (1) asserts that he did not attend religious services in the neighbor- hood where there were only Protestant churches, and for that reason "it has been conjectured Master Sullivan kept steadfast to the faith of his childhood."
He lived to the venerable age of 105 years and was beloved and respected by all who knew him.
Writers have portrayed his wife as an excellent woman of great energy and firmness of character.
Amory (supra) says: " Her sons very probably inherited largely from her the ambition and industry that made them useful and dis-tinguished."

Bearehaven. He married Mary, daughter of Colonel Owen McSweeney, of Musgrey, and sister of Captain Esmond McSweeney, a noted man for anecdotes and witty sayings. I have heard that my grandfather had four countesses for his mother and grandmothers. How true it was, or who they were, I know not. My father died of an ulcer raised in his breast, occasioned by a wound he received in France, in a duel with a French officer. They were all a short lived family; they either died in their bloom, or went out of the country. I never heard that any of the men-kind arrived at sixty, and do not remember but one alive when I left home. My mother’s name was Joan McCarthy, daughter of Dermod McCarthy, of Killoween. She had three brothers and one sister. Her mother’s name I forget, but she was a daughter to McCarthy Reagh, of Carbery. Her oldest brother, Colonel Florence alias McFinnen, and his two brothers Captain Charles and Captain Owen, went in the defence of the nation against Orange. Owen was killed in the battle of Aughrim. Florence had a son who retains the title of McFinnen. Charles I just remember. He left two sons, Derby and Owen. Derby married with Ellena Sullivan, of the Sullivans of Baunane. His brother Owen married Honora Mahony, daughter of Dennis Mahony, of Dromore, in the barony of Dunkerron, and also died in the prime of life, much lamented.
“They were short lived on both sides, but the brevity of their lives, to my great grief and sorrow, is added to the length of mine. My mother’s sister was married to Dermod, eldest son of Daniel O’Sullivan, Lord of Dunderron. Her son Cornelius, as I understand, was with the Pretender in Scotland, in the year 1746. This is all I can say about my origin; but shall conclude with a Latin sentence:
Si Adm sit pater cunctorum, mater et Eva:
Cur nan sunt homines nobilitate pares?
Non pater aut mater dant nobis nobilitatem:
Sed moribus et vita nobilitatur homo. J.S.
The letter referred to is as follows. “A grand uncle of mine having gone to America about sixty years ago, his relations have suffered greatly from being without the means of finding out his fate, till now, by great good fortune, I am informed that you are a son of his. If you find, by the account below, that I have not been misinformed, I shall be glad to hear from you.
“Mr. Owen O’Sullivan, son of Major Phillip O’Sullivan, of Ardea, in the county of Kerry, Ireland, by Joanna, daughter of Dermod McCarthy, of Killoween, Esq., in said county. They were connected with the most respectable families in the province of Munster, particularly the Count of Bearehaven, McCarthy More, Earl of Clancare, Earl Barrymore, the Earl of Thomond, the Earl of Clancarthy, McFinnen of Glanarough, O’Donoughu of Ross, O’Donough of Glynn, McCarthy of Carberry, Lord Clancarthy and O’Donovan, &c.
I am Sir, your respectfully, “Ardea, May 16th, 1796. Phillip O’Sullivan.”
The connecting links in the pedigree between Owen mentioned in the first of the above documents and Sir Phillip of Ardea, were supplied in 1860, by Mr. Daniel O’Sullivan of Ardea, since deceased at.

Muskerry, Donogh, was afterwards Earl of Clancarthy, and died in 1666. The father of Phillip, Daniel, is said to have married Margaret, daughter of the Earl of Clancarthy, who died in 1640, and who married Margaret, daughter of Donogh, 4th Earl of Thomond. The father of this Daniel is described in the letter as of Ardea Castle, and is therein said to have married a daughter of the Earl of Thomond. Two persons named Sarah O’Brien, of that family, according to Lodge, married in the sixteenth century O’Sullivans Beare. One, a granddaughter of the first Earl of Thomond, married as before stated, Donnel, 13th Lord of Bearehaven; the other a daughter of Viscount Clare of the same family, may have married said Donnel’s brother, Sir Phillip, of Ardea, but more likely one of his sons. The above statement stands the test of comparison of dates, and the aged gentleman on whose information we rely was no doubt substantially correct.
What part the family of Ardea took in the Catholic War or subsequent strife under Cromwell in defence of their property and religious rights, does not appear. O’Sullivan More lost a large portion of his territiories in the latter period. In 1653, he was in Paris with O’Sullivan Beare from Spain, making preparation for a descent on Munster, as mentioned above, with money furnished through the French King. From 1660, when Charles II was restored, all branches of the race enjoyed a brief respite of quiet and prosperity, but taking part with James the II against William of Orange, they were proscribed and banished. Major Phillip was with the garrison of Limerick, that, after a stubborn resistance, surrendered in 1691.
By the terms of surrender, such of the Catholics as were unwilling to abandon their religion and take unconditional oaths of allegiance to the English government, were to be furnished with transportation to France; and amongst those who preferred poverty and exile to this humiliation, was Major Phillip. He had married Joanna, daughter of Dermod McCarthy More, descended from the Earl of Clancarre who died in 1596, by Ellen daughter of McCarthy Reagh and Elinor, daughter of Lord Muskerry, who thus untied in her person the three principal branches of McCarthy More, Reagh, and Muskerry. Their property was confiscated, and they were reduced to poverty. The date of his death from the wound received in a duel in France, as mentioned by his son, is not known. He appears to have left two sons besides the subject of this notice, who was born on the seventeenth of June 1690, at Ardea, in the county of Kerry.
Little is known of his education. From its extent and thoroughness it was probably at some one of the seminaries on the continent, where his family in their prosperity had endowed, as was customary in those days, scholarships for the benefit of its members. He returned to Ireland to find even the terms of the surrender disregarded, and entered upon life under many discouragements. His original destination was for the priesthood, but this appears to have been early abandoned. Different traditions have been handed down with regard to his coming to America, but that which connects him with the effort to restore the Stuarts after the death of Queen Ann would seem the
Note: Clancarthy. Donogh, his son, the third Earl, married Elizabeth Spencer, daughter of the Earl of Sunderland, and becoming involved in the ruin of the Stuarts, was forced into exile and lived on the Continent.

James Sullivan
(BY JOHN FRANCIS SPRAGUE.)
There appears to be ample authority to substantiate the claim that the Sullivans of Maine descended from the O'Sullivans of ancient Ireland.
They were a powerful septa, who dwelt in the southerly part of Ireland and are now extensively multiplied on both sides of theAtlantic.
Many of them have acquired fame in all fields of American activities.
In common with other Milesian families, they trace their origin to a remote period in Irish history.
The bards and chieftains of the ancient Irish preserved their national annals from the beginning of organized government under the sons of Heber down to the days of anarchy and confusion
resulting from English invasion.
Irish historians assert that it is a well authenticated fact that under Queen Elizabeth, one measure adopted for the more perfect subjection of Ireland was an order to collect from the national
and private repositories these records, that by gradually weaken- ing, through their destruction, the spirit of clanship, the land might become an easier prey to the spoiler.
Fortunately, however, this order was only partially obeyed and in many of the ancient chronicles, or psalters which escaped this authorized vandalism frequent mention is made of the O'Sullivans,
and their chieftains.
For centuries prior to 1170 when the English invasion first began upon its shores, Ireland had been as highly civilized as any part of western Europe. During those times and to a more recent date the O'Sullivans, who were hereditary princes, possessed large tracts of lands in the Province of Munster, and along the shores of the Bay of Bantry and around the beautiful and celebrated Lakes of Killarney.
Their chieftains exercised an independent sovereignty and their domains for a long time remaining unmolested by the invaders they lived more peaceful lives than some of the neighboring clans.
But the power of the conquerors increased with each successive century until the brave O'Sullivans early in the seventeenth cen- tury were with the rest of the Irish nation prostrated by ruin and
devastation. To follow the vicissitudes of this once powerful clan to the time when John Sullivan left Limerick in Ireland and sailed for America would be a recital of one of the darkest chapters in the history of Great Britain. This was in the year 1723. Exactly what his destination was is not now known. The ship in which he sailed was driven by adverse winds on to the Maine coast and he landed in York.
0n this stormy voyage was the beginning of an interesting romance. On the vessel was a pretty and attractive child named Margery Brown, then only nine years of age. The circumstances
of her parents emigrating to America may never be known as it appears that they were lost at sea.
John Sullivan, when far advanced in years, wrote out and left with his family the following statement:
I am the son of Major Philip O'Sullivan, of Ardea, in the county of Kerry. His father was Owen O'Sullivan, original descendant from the second son of Daniel O'Sullivan, called lord of Bearehaven. He married Mary, daughter of Colonel Owen McSweeney of Musgrey, and sister to Captain Edmond McSweeney, a noted man for anecdotes and witty sayings. I have heard that my grandfather had four countesses for his mother and grandmothers. How true it was, or who they were, I know not. My father died of an ulcer raised in his breast, occasioned by a wound he received in France, in a duel with a French officer. They were all a short lived family; they either died in their bloom or went out of the country I never heard that any of the men-kind arrived at sixty, and do not remem-
ber but one alive when I left home My mother's name was Toan McCar- thy, daughter of Dermod McCarthy of Killoween. She had three brothers and one sister. Her mother's name I forget, but that she was daughter to McCarthy Reagh, of Carbery. Her oldest brother, Col. Florence, alias
McFinnin, and [its two brothers, Captain Charles and Captain Owen, went in the defence of the nation against Orange. Owen was killed in the battle of Aughrim. Florence had a son, who retains the title of McFinnin. Charles I just remember. He had a charge of powder in his face at the
siege of Cork. He left two sons, Derby and Owen. Derby married with Ellena Sullivan, of the Sullivans of Bannane. His brother Owen married Honora Mahony, daughter of Dennis Mahony, of Drommore, in the bar- ony of Dunkerron, and also died in the prime of life, much lamented.
They were short-lived on both sides; but the brevity of their lives, to my great grief and sorrow, is added to the length of mine. My mother's sister was married to Dermod, eldest son of Daniel O'Sullivan, lord of Dunkerron. Her son Cornelius, as I understand, was with the Pretender
in Scotland, in the year 1745. This is all that I can say about my origin.
It is a well authenticated tradition that he left his home by rea-son of his mother violently opposing his union with a certain young lady that ;he was deeply attached to.
Although his mother was a woman of wealth and high standing in Limerick he was nearly penniless when he left home and entered into an agreement with the master of the vessel to work for him
after his arrival, to pay his passage to America. Unaccustomed to labor he applied to Parson Moody, of York, whom he had been informed was a man of benevolence, for aid. The interview
resulted in his obtaining a loan of money from Moody and can-celing his obligation to the captain.
John was well educated and tinder the advice of Parson Moody and some of his friends he opened a school at Berwick and became successful school teacher in York County.
He sympathized with his little friend, Margery, who had been indentured in accordance with the colonial custom of providing for distressed children. As soon as his earnings would permit he
redeemed her from indenture and adopted her and brought her up and educated her as his own child. When she had reached the period of maidenhood she is said to have possessed unusual charms and attractions.
One day, while drawing water with the old well-sweep, a young man, clad in city attire, came by and engaged her in conversation. Fascinated by her charms. he then and there proposed marriage
She referred him to her father. The lover stated his case to Mr. Sullivan. He consulted Margery who frankly admitted that she had been a little coquettish with the good looking youth, but much
to his joy, he assured him that she had no thought of anything serious. But the circumstance revealed to him his own sentiment towards her, which he had discovered was other than paternal.
Her foster father made known his love. It was mutual and although he was twenty years her senior, so far as any records or evidence of the matter is now accessible it was a happy union.
He soon after purchased a farm in Berwick, to which he devoted his attention when not engaged in teaching. Much of the time he had two schools under his charge.
He has been described as "a marked man in his personal appear- ance, of great natural abilities and mental cultivation."
He was reared in the faith of the Catholic church. Amory (1) asserts that he did not attend religious services in the neighbor- hood where there were only Protestant churches, and for that reason "it has been conjectured Master Sullivan kept steadfast to the faith of his childhood."
He lived to the venerable age of 105 years and was beloved and respected by all who knew him.
Writers have portrayed his wife as an excellent woman of great energy and firmness of character.
Amory (supra) says: " Her sons very probably inherited largely from her the ambition and industry that made them useful and dis-tinguished."

Generation No. 5
24. John Rathbun, born December 23, 1693 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island; died 1752 in Exeter, Washington, Rhode Island. He was the son of 48. John Rathbun and 49. Anna Dodge. He married 25. Alice Unknown 1721 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island.
25. Alice Unknown, died Aft. 1761.
Notes for John Rathbun:
In 1723, John was left from his parents all their housing and land on Block Island. He sold this land in 1725 and moved to the mainland. He was admitted a freeman of North Kingstown in May of 1732. He was called "John Rathbun of Nesquaheague". His will was written January 18, 1752 and probated in Exeter, Rhode Island on March 10, 1752.
New data in 1984 changed the mother of John's children. John D. Bowen, a descendant, found the new information in land records in early Exeter, Rhode Island (the North Kingstown, Rhode Island). By 1731, land records indicates the wife of John as Alice. Patience, no doubt, had died by that time leaving a son, Joshua. In the will of John Fish (father of Patience) he left fifty pounds to "my grandson Joshua Rathbun, son of my daughter Patience, deceased." Thus, Patience is now listed as the mother of only Joshua who died prior to 1741 when John had a son named Joshua.

24. John Rathbun, born December 23, 1693 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island; died 1752 in Exeter, Washington, Rhode Island. He was the son of 48. John Rathbun and 49. Anna Dodge. He married 25. Alice Unknown 1721 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island.
25. Alice Unknown, died Aft. 1761.
Notes for John Rathbun:
In 1723, John was left from his parents all their housing and land on Block Island. He sold this land in 1725 and moved to the mainland. He was admitted a freeman of North Kingstown in May of 1732. He was called "John Rathbun of Nesquaheague". His will was written January 18, 1752 and probated in Exeter, Rhode Island on March 10, 1752.
New data in 1984 changed the mother of John's children. John D. Bowen, a descendant, found the new information in land records in early Exeter, Rhode Island (the North Kingstown, Rhode Island). By 1731, land records indicates the wife of John as Alice. Patience, no doubt, had died by that time leaving a son, Joshua. In the will of John Fish (father of Patience) he left fifty pounds to "my grandson Joshua Rathbun, son of my daughter Patience, deceased." Thus, Patience is now listed as the mother of only Joshua who died prior to 1741 when John had a son named Joshua.

Our Ancestors: Peter Ruffner and Mary Steinman
Peter Ruffner ~ the first Ruffner of our family to come to America was born about 1713, probably in Switzerland.
A version of the family story says Peter was the third son of a landed Baron. About 1732, as he was attending an agricultural college, he made a monumental decision. Without declaring his intentions, he made his departure and came to America as a young man of 19 years.
Nobility or not, during that time as the third son he would have inherited little more than his name. His prospects would have been limited by his vocational preparation and how well this would provide him his own livelihood. It is not known exactly what prompted his decision or whether he announced his intentions, but during this period there were many factors to possibly influence the young man. There was much dissention and fighting between the various religious factions, there were the customs concerning rights of inheritance, and there were many written accounts being circulated about the abundance of land in America. Any one of these could have been a strong enough persuasion, especially for a young man having little or no prospect for either land or inheritance. Peter might have thought it would be best for him to practice his vocation where there was a plentiful amount of available land.
By 1739, Peter had made his way to Lancaster County in Pennsylvania where he met and in that year was married to Mary Steinman. Where he had been and what he had been doing for those years between 1732 and 1739, we do not yet know.
Peter died in 1778 and was buried at the Ruffner Homestead in Luray, Page County, Virginia.
Mary Steinman ~ was the first member of our family to be born in America. She was born in 1714 at the place called Willow Street in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. She and her husband Peter were the parents of the first Ruffner children of our family to be born in America.
Mary was a daughter of Joseph and Fronica Steinman. She was one of the 7 children Joseph named to receive, or as having already received, bequeaths in his 1756 will. She is mentioned as having been previously provided for, a reference to the land she had already received from her father, and was given ‘one English shilling sterling’ as a final act by Joseph.
Some written accounts portray Mary as a large, dark haired woman possessed of all the strong virtues. Virtues she inherited or acquired through her upbringing in the Pennsylvania home of her Swiss parents. Her father Joseph is reported to have been from Bern.
Mary died in 1798 and is also buried at the Ruffner Homestead in Luray, Page County, Virginia.
Hawksbill Patent ~ It was through the generous gift of land to Mary by her father Joseph the couple would come to the Shenandoah Valley. Joseph was said to have been a very successful farmer, who had settled in the Pequea Valley of Pennsylvania. His prosperity allowed him to purchase many parcels of land and he bought the Hawksbill Patent of 1300 acres from Francis Thornton in 1737. At, or about, the time of her marriage to Peter Ruffner in 1739, Joseph gave Mary some 900 acres out of his purchase.
This was the land to which Peter and Mary moved, built their home, lived, worked, raised their family, died and were buried. They had come to the Hawksbill Patent in the Shenandoah Valley in the same year they married.
It seems from the beginning, Peter and Mary prospered together. They raised their 8 children, developed their homestead, and greatly expanded their holdings of land. In one 5-day period in May of 1761, Peter is recorded as buying more than 1100 acres of land from Thomas, the Honourable Lord Fairfax. He made one purchase on each of the 5 consecutive days.
At the Page Public Library at Luray, VA, there is a drawing depicting the land holdings of Peter and Mary. It shows, at one time or another, their land extended up both sides of the Hawksbill Creek for more than 8 miles. Harry Strickler made the drawing in 1927 by plotting the various holdings as described in deeds and other records.
Today, on a small portion of the Hawksbill Patent, there is a home we believe is built on the original stone foundation of Peter and Mary’s homestead structure. This present house is known as the Ruffner House and its construction is cited as 1840. An eighth generation descendant and his wife own it and it is used to operate a Bed and Breakfast business.
For information about the lodging accommodations available, link to the Ruffner House website. [The Ruffner House and grounds are not open for tours.]
Peter and Mary’s Children ~ There were 8 children born to Peter and Mary. All of them were born at the Hawksbill Patent homestead. They were:
Joseph, born 1740; Benjamin, born 1742; Catherine, born 1744;
Peter, Jr., born 1746; Reuben, born 1748; Tobias, born 1752;
Elizabeth, born 1755; Emanuel, born 1757.
For information about these children and the names of their children, use the Early Generations link below.
The Legacy of Peter and Mary ~ is their family of children and the later descendants, the prosperous work ethic they evidently practiced and passed along, and the homestead they built together. Our family roots run deep into the fertile soil alongside the Hawksbill Creek ~ the lands of the Hawksbill Patent. This is where the first Ruffner children of our American family had their beginning. It is from the fruits of this union of Peter and Mary, our Ruffner/Steinman tree, we have come.

The Descendants of Peter Ruffner and Mary Steinman
~
THE FIRST GENERATION
~
Children of Peter Ruffner and Mary Steinman
~
The children of Peter Ruffner [1713 – 1778] and Mary Steinman [1714 – 1798] were the first Ruffner children of our family to be America-born. Most of them lived to see the days of the American Revolution, the formation of a new nation of states - our United States of America, and the expansion of this new nation along its western frontier - especially the Northwest Territory. Many of them took part in one or more of these happenings. We are proud of the part they played in these events, and we are grateful for the sacrifices and contributions they made to help assure the many opportunities we, and each of our fellow citizens, enjoy today.
Each of these 8 children of Peter and Mary was born at the Ruffner Homestead, which is located in what is now the town of Luray in Page County, Virginia. Herein we give you a brief account of these children and list the children of their marriage(s).
The dates we have included are based on the information stated by Doris [Laver] Ruffner and Olive [Taylor] Ruffner in their 1966 publication of ‘Peter Ruffner and His Descendants’, and the 1969 Supplement edition of the same title. The dates we show as missing will be corrected when they have been found and are documented.

from West Virginia Newspapers Obituaries 1822-1899 Vol.1, pg 70:
The Kanawha Republican
February 11, 1843
Died at Kanawha Salines Wednesday evening the 1st inst., Col. David Ruffner, aged 76 years. Col. Ruffner immigrated to this county from Shenandoah in 1797. Within a few months he was reappointed a magistrate, an office he had held in Shenandoah for some years previous to his removal. He continued in the active discharge of the duties of that office for a period of nearly 47 years. Up to the time of his death probably no man had more completely realized the conception of those who framed our county court system, than he. He was elected by his fellow citizens to a seat in the Legislature, within less than a year after his first arrival in the county, and at various sessions of the Legislature in after years he was a member of that body.

The Kanawha Republican
February 11, 1843
Died at Kanawha Salines Wednesday evening the 1st inst., Col. David Ruffner, aged 76 years. Col. Ruffner immigrated to this county from Shenandoah in 1797. Within a few months he was reappointed a magistrate, an office he had held in Shenandoah for some years previous to his removal. He continued in the active discharge of the duties of that office for a period of nearly 47 years. Up to the time of his death probably no man had more completely realized the conception of those who framed our county court system, than he. He was elected by his fellow citizens to a seat in the Legislature, within less than a year after his first arrival in the county, and at various sessions of the Legislature in after years he was a member of that body.

Ephraim Tiffany
I have a number of books here at the house on Block Island or Newport
County, Rhode Island. There are NO Tiffany family members buried in the main
cemetery on Block Island.
There is an Ephraim Tiffany (Captain) 1704-February 27, 1771 buried in Prince Hill Cemetery in Barrington, Rhode Island. Check out this web site of cemetery records of all of Rhode Island. This is the main page: RI Historical Cemeteries Transcription Project
This is the page just for Tiffany
http://www.rootsweb.com/~rigenweb/cemetery/cemetery336.html
I also have all of Arnolds Vital records on a CD to look up any town and
Tiffany if I can help you.

Ephraim did not settle in Lyme till late in 1706 or the first of 1707, judging from an agreement between him and his partners, Ball and Banning. For a long time I find no transfers in his name but he was living in Lyme, Connecticutt, in 1724 and dided there previous to 1734. Was living in 1732.

John Aldridge OR (Aldred OR Alred) Allred
Submitted by: Sharon Allred Jessop 01/21/1999
The Allred (Aldridge) Family of England and North Carolina
The origin of this surname traces back to ancient Anglo-Saxon times. It is said to be a compound of the Anglo-Saxon "ald" or eald" meaning old and "rad" or "red" signifying wise counsel. In the old Gothic language, it appeared a ALDRED and in English as ELDRED or ALDRED.1
Another author terms ALDRED and ALDRIDGE as "undoubted survivors of Anglo-Saxon compounds" AETHELRAED or EALDRAED.2
A third explanation given is that the name had the signification of "all-dread" or "all-fear," since "All" and "Ael" in Old English and Saxon mean the same as the English"All," and "dred" is equivalent to our modern dread or fear. This author then lists these equivalents:
"ALDRED (Sax) All-fear
"Aldridge (Sax.) The same as Aldred, of which it is a corruption."3
The interchangeable character of the surnames ALDRED and ALDRIDGE and of ELDRED and ELDRIDGE is shown in the history of the New England branches of these families. In the vital records of Dedham, Mass., one of the early settlers is recorded as HENRY ALDRIDGE or ALDRIDG. He is also called ALDRIDGE in the town records. In four entries of the church records he is called ALLRED in three of them; in the fourth (his burial) he is called HENERY ALLDRIDGE.4
1. Surnames As a Science, by Robert Ferguson, George Routledge and Sons, London, 1883, p. 41.
2. The Romance of Surnames, by Ernest Weekly, E. P. Dutton & Co., 1914, p. 72.
3. Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names, by William Arthur Sheldon, Blakeman & Co., New York, 1857, p. 50.
4. Dedham Vital Records, First Church Records.
Similarity WILLIAM ELDRED became a resident of Yarmouth ,Mass. In the second and third generation the surname of his descendants changed from ELDRED to ELDREDG, ELDREDGE, and ELDRIDGE, and so has continued to the present.5
SAMUEL ELDRED, of Cambridge, Mass., and Stonington, Conn., is believed to have been the brother of William of Yarmouth. Samuel came from Lavenham, Suffolk, England, according to Col. Edward Banks` Topographical Dictionary of English Emigrants to New England, page 157.
HENRY ALDRED OR ALDRIDGE of Dedham, Mass., was from Brampton, Suffolk, being of THOMAS ALDRED (called THOMAS ALDERED at marriage, May 3, 1624), who married Mary Chickeringe. She was the daughter of Henry Chickeringe of Rinesfeild, Suffolk. In his will dated July 11, 1626, the latter mentions his "daughter Mary, now wife of Thomas Aldred of Brampton."
It is reasonable, therefore, to look to Suffolk and the adjoining county of Norfolk, England, for the origin of the Aldred-Eldred family. This area was in all probability the original home of the Aldreds. Evidences at hand probe that persons bearing this surname in its varied forms of spelling were living in this general locality from the time when surnames first came into general use.
THE ALDRED-ALDRICH-ALDRIDGE FAMILY OF WORSTEAD, NORFOLK, ENGLAND, NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY, VIRGINIA, RANDOLPH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA.
The first of this family recorded as living at Worstead, Norfolk, England, was the Rev. HENRY ALDRED, who was Vicar there in the year 1553.
Blomefield, in his monumental History of Norfolk, Vol. 5, pp. 1455-14565, says the town of Worstead is situated in a flat country. Worstead stuffs have said to have taken their name from this town, from being first manufactured there. The church is dedicated to St. Mary. He speaks of the priory of Bromholm, and of its dissolution on May 26, 6th year of Edward VI (1553), adding:
"On the dissolution of the priory, the manor belonging to it, with the rectory, and the patronage of the vicarage, were granted to the dean and chapter of Norwich; and the vicarage is valued at 10 lb. Per anom. --Mr. HENRY ALDRED vicar." (P.1456)
Henry Aldred may have been father of the Rev. HENRY ALDRED, who was Vicar and Curate, at Marsham, Norfolk, and also at Worstead, villages about six miles apart. These entries relate to him:
5 Yarmouth Vital Records.
"Henry Aldred, Clerke then Curate here, and Margrett Browne were married 4 day of June 1599." (Marsham P.R., p. 31).
"Henry Aldred, Vicar of Worsteds, resigned 1603, then became Vicar of Rushall, presented by sir Edward Clere." (Henry W. Aldred: Suffolk Records, p. 54)
In the Worstead Parish Registers appear several entries relating to him.
BAPTISMS:
1609 10 March: John s. Henry Aldred.
BURIALS:
1610 25 April: Margaret w. Henry Aldred, vicar of Worstead.
1618 2 June: Alise w. Henry Aldred, clerk.
1628 11 Jan.: Cicilie w. Henry Aldred, clerk.
1647 15 Apr.: Dorothy w. Henry Aldred, Vicar.
1648 1 Dec.: Henry Aldred, Vicar.
Probable children of Rev. Henry Aldred, Sr.:
I. JOHN ALDRICH, b. ca. 1558, of Worstead, Norfolk, England, m. There, 2/9/1583-4, AGNES ROLFE or Roffe.
II. (REV.) HENRY ALDRED, b. ca. 1564, Vicar of Marsham, Worstead and Rushall, Norfolk; buried at Worstead, 12/1/1648; m. (1) 6/4/1599, at Marsham, MARGARET BROWNE, (2) ALICE , buried 6/2/1618; (3) CECILIE , buried 1/11/1628; (4) DOROTHY , buried 4/15/1647.
Child: (First marriage)
1. JOHN ALDRED, chr. 3/10/1609, Worstead, Norfolk, England.
JOHN ALDRICH, probably son of the elder Rev. Henry Aldred of Worstead, was b. Ca. 1558. He m. At Worstead, 2/9/1583-4, AGNES ROLFE or ROFFE. (Another reading of this surname in the register gives it as ROSSE,) It would appear that John Aldrich or Aldridge had traveled, and his wife Anne (Agnes and Anne were often used interchangeably), thinking him dead, remarried EDMUND BOUTMAN, 2/2/1596. The record of Bishop Redman's Visitation of the Diocese of Norwich, 1597, under Worstead, contains this presentment:
"ANN ALDRIGE. For having two husbands living."1

BURIALS

In the year 1668, the name of Clement Aldridge first appears on the records of Northumberland Co., Va.
" 7 Apr. 1668 Whereas it appears to this Co(t) y(t)
Mr. Rich: Haskins CLEMENT ALDRIDGE stands indebted to Rich: Haskins In ye sums of six hundred eighty one pounds of Tobacco and Cask it is ordered that ye ad CLEMT ALDRIDGE forthwith pay ye ad sume unto ye ad Mr. Haskins." (Northumberland Co. Order Book, 3:35.)
Clement Aldridge and his wife Elizabeth became settlers in what was then known as Bowtracy and Fairfield parishes, embracing the section of Northumberland Co. North of the Great Wicocomico River (later shortened to Wicomico). In 1698, these two parishes were united to form the parish of St. Stephen's parish has been preserved and is now at the State Library at Richmond, Va.. It is in a mutilated condition, the edges of some of the first pages In the volume being worn and wasted away at the edges. Yet the facts contained therein are priceless, imperfect though they be.
On page 3 are recorded these entries of the children of Clement Aldredge:
"....ent Aldridge Son to Clement was Borne Sep.................
..........d Aldredge Daughter to do as borne Mar....................
.........ce Aldridge Daughter to Do was borne Oct...................
..........m Aldredge Son to Do was Borne Feb...................
........aac Aldredge Son to Do was borne S.....................
.........ohn Aldredge Son to Do was borne Feb...............
Since Clement Aldridge, Jr., was a witness in Court in 1691, it is presumable that these children were born between the years 1672 and 1682. William Aldridge was an adult in 1700. The other sons were evidently Isaac and John; one of the daughters was either Alice or Grace; the other may possibly have been Winifred. The next entry in the register in point of date and alphabetical sequence is in the year 1696 on page 4. Intervening year dates are missing. (Northumberland Co. Births and Deaths, 1650-1810, p.3)
On 2 Apr. 1677, CLEMT ARLIDGE witnessed a will. ON 17 Apr. 1678, CLEMENT ALDRIDGE was party to a suit for debt. He was a carpenter or joiner by trade and had an apprentice bound to him 21 Aug. 1678. CLEMENT ALDRIGE was a tithable of Bowtracy parish 7 June 1679. On 19 Nov. 1679, CLEMENT ALDRIDGE was paid for mending Bowtracy Church. He appears in various court entries in 1684 and 1688. On 22 June 1693, "William Beane was arrested at the suit of CLEMENT ALDRIDGE & ELIZABETH his wife." The final entry regarding him is recorded thus:
"Aldridge's "Upon the mocon of ELIZABETH ALDRIDGE execrx a Probate is granted
Will proved Her of the Last Will and Testament of CLEMENT ALDRIDGE deced.
19 Jan. 1698- the said Will being proved by the oaths of David Straughan & MARY TULLES
1699." Witnesses to the said Will and the same is admitted to Record. (Northumberland
Co. Order Book 5:3)"
Unfortunately this will is missing, being destroyed in a fire at the Courthouse a short time later.
It would have been, undoubtedly, of great aid.

WILLIAM ALLRIDGE or ARLEDGE, son of Clement Aldridge and Elizabeth Tills, was born in February, about the year 1678, in Northumberland Co., Va.. The day and year of his birth record are obliterated from the old St. Stephen's Parish Register, now preserved In the Virginia State Library, Richmond, Va.. The birth of one son is recorded in this same register to William: "...n sone to Wm Aldredge was born May 16, 170...." (P.3)
This was evidently the son John who was under 21 in 1724, as mentioned in his father's will/
William's name appears frequently in the court records, his surname being spelled ALDRIDGE and ALDREDGE, BUT MOST FREQUENTLY ARLEDGE.
"19 May 1703. Wm. Arledge & ALICE his wife having this day in court acknowledged a Deed for Sixty acres of land more or less to Mrs. Hannah Nealy ye sd deed is Recorded." (Northumberland Co. Order Book, 5:246).
WILLIAM ALDRIDGE or ARLEDGE married 2nd , SARAH .

On 17 Feb.. 1724-5 "This Inventory of the Estate of WM. ARLEDGE Execx of the ad Decd and is admitted to Record." (Northumberland Co. Record Book, 19:375)

William's widow did not survive him many years. On 19 April 1727, the "Inventory of the Estate of SARAH ARLEDGE was presented to court by William Thomas, Richard March and Richd Thomas." (Ibid., 20:70a)
The following record of the division of her estate may indicate which of the children mentioned in the will of William were her own children, and which those of the first wife ALICE.

JOHN ALDRIDGE OR ALDRED OR ALRED, son of William Aldridge or Arledge and probably his first wife ALICE , WAS BORN 5/16/170 (PROBABLY ABOUT 17060, in Wicomico Parish, Northumberland Co., Va.. He was under twenty when his father made his will. This would fix his year of birth definitely between the years 1705 and 1709.
In May 1740, CLEMENT ARLEDGE obtained an attachment against the Estate of JOHN ARLEDGE for nine hundred pounds of tobacco.
In 1755, the family had removed to Orange Co, N.C. A list of Taxable of Orange Co., for that year shows living there:

(Film, North Carolina Records, No. 15, Pt. 2)
On 15 March 1755 is recorded a "Grant from Earl Granville to JOHN ALDRED of Orange Co., N.C., of 640 acres. Entry 154. No. 01128.
On 15 March 1756 there was a "Grant to JOHN ALDRED or ALRED must have been in full sympathy with those who opposed official tyranny.

Randolph County was formed from Orange County and Rowan County, (Guilford Co. from Orange and Rowan, 1771; Randolph Co. From Guilford, 1779), and this included the Sandy Creek Settlement. It is probable that JOHN died before 1779, but the date of his death is uncertain.

THOMAS ALLRED, son of John ALDRIDGE or Alfred or Alred, was born about 1730, probably in Wicomico Parish, Northumberland Co., Va. He had moved with his parents to what was then Orange County, but is ow Randolph co., N.C., prior to 1755, when he first appears upon the records there. By this date he was married and probably had one child.
The first list of Taxables made in Randolph County after its formation in 1779, drawn up that same year, included in one group Thomas and four of his sons: ELIAS ALLRED, JOHN ALLRED, JR., THOMAS ALLRED, WILLIAM ALLRED, JAMES ALLRED. Before 1790, when the first Federal Census was taken, his son WILLIAM had removed to S.C. MOSES also removed early to Ga.
Thomas Alred, of Randolph Co., N.C., in his will dated 8 Nov. 1809, proved in May, 1810, mentions wife ELIZABETH, sons & daughter JAMES, WILLIAM, ELIAS, JON, MOSES & ELI, RACHEL BROWN & ELIZABETH JONES; grandson WILLIAM ALRED son of ELIAS ALRED; son LEVI. (Randolph Co. Wills, 3: 188-189)

The Allred (Aldridge) Family of England and North Carolina
The origin of this surname traces back to ancient Anglo-Saxon times. It is said to be a compound of the Anglo-Saxon "ald" or eald" meaning old and "rad" or "red" signifying wise counsel. In the old Gothic language, it appeared a ALDRED and in English as ELDRED or ALDRED.1
Another author terms ALDRED and ALDRIDGE as "undoubted survivors of Anglo-Saxon compounds" AETHELRAED or EALDRAED.2
A third explanation given is that the name had the signification of "all-dread" or "all-fear," since "All" and "Ael" in Old English and Saxon mean the same as the English"All," and "dred" is equivalent to our modern dread or fear. This author then lists these equivalents:
"ALDRED (Sax) All-fear
"Aldridge (Sax.) The same as Aldred, of which it is a corruption."3
The interchangeable character of the surnames ALDRED and ALDRIDGE and of ELDRED and ELDRIDGE is shown in the history of the New England branches of these families. In the vital records of Dedham, Mass., one of the early settlers is recorded as HENRY ALDRIDGE or ALDRIDG. He is also called ALDRIDGE in the town records. In four entries of the church records he is called ALLRED in three of them; in the fourth (his burial) he is called HENERY ALLDRIDGE.4
1. Surnames As a Science, by Robert Ferguson, George Routledge and Sons, London, 1883, p. 41.
2. The Romance of Surnames, by Ernest Weekly, E. P. Dutton & Co., 1914, p. 72.
3. Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names, by William Arthur Sheldon, Blakeman & Co., New York, 1857, p. 50.
4. Dedham Vital Records, First Church Records.
Similarity WILLIAM ELDRED became a resident of Yarmouth ,Mass. In the second and third generation the surname of his descendants changed from ELDRED to ELDREDG, ELDREDGE, and ELDRIDGE, and so has continued to the present.5
SAMUEL ELDRED, of Cambridge, Mass., and Stonington, Conn., is believed to have been the brother of William of Yarmouth. Samuel came from Lavenham, Suffolk, England, according to Col. Edward Banks` Topographical Dictionary of English Emigrants to New England, page 157.
HENRY ALDRED OR ALDRIDGE of Dedham, Mass., was from Brampton, Suffolk, being of THOMAS ALDRED (called THOMAS ALDERED at marriage, May 3, 1624), who married Mary Chickeringe. She was the daughter of Henry Chickeringe of Rinesfeild, Suffolk. In his will dated July 11, 1626, the latter mentions his "daughter Mary, now wife of Thomas Aldred of Brampton."
It is reasonable, therefore, to look to Suffolk and the adjoining county of Norfolk, England, for the origin of the Aldred-Eldred family. This area was in all probability the original home of the Aldreds. Evidences at hand probe that persons bearing this surname in its varied forms of spelling were living in this general locality from the time when surnames first came into general use.
THE ALDRED-ALDRICH-ALDRIDGE FAMILY OF WORSTEAD, NORFOLK, ENGLAND, NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY, VIRGINIA, RANDOLPH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA.
The first of this family recorded as living at Worstead, Norfolk, England, was the Rev. HENRY ALDRED, who was Vicar there in the year 1553.
Blomefield, in his monumental History of Norfolk, Vol. 5, pp. 1455-14565, says the town of Worstead is situated in a flat country. Worstead stuffs have said to have taken their name from this town, from being first manufactured there. The church is dedicated to St. Mary. He speaks of the priory of Bromholm, and of its dissolution on May 26, 6th year of Edward VI (1553), adding:
"On the dissolution of the priory, the manor belonging to it, with the rectory, and the patronage of the vicarage, were granted to the dean and chapter of Norwich; and the vicarage is valued at 10 lb. Per anom. --Mr. HENRY ALDRED vicar." (P.1456)
Henry Aldred may have been father of the Rev. HENRY ALDRED, who was Vicar and Curate, at Marsham, Norfolk, and also at Worstead, villages about six miles apart. These entries relate to him:
5 Yarmouth Vital Records.
"Henry Aldred, Clerke then Curate here, and Margrett Browne were married 4 day of June 1599." (Marsham P.R., p. 31).
"Henry Aldred, Vicar of Worsteds, resigned 1603, then became Vicar of Rushall, presented by sir Edward Clere." (Henry W. Aldred: Suffolk Records, p. 54)
In the Worstead Parish Registers appear several entries relating to him.

In the year 1668, the name of Clement Aldridge first appears on the records of Northumberland Co., Va.
" 7 Apr. 1668 Whereas it appears to this Co(t) y(t)
Mr. Rich: Haskins CLEMENT ALDRIDGE stands indebted to Rich: Haskins In ye sums of six hundred eighty one pounds of Tobacco and Cask it is ordered that ye ad CLEMT ALDRIDGE forthwith pay ye ad sume unto ye ad Mr. Haskins." (Northumberland Co. Order Book, 3:35.)
Clement Aldridge and his wife Elizabeth became settlers in what was then known as Bowtracy and Fairfield parishes, embracing the section of Northumberland Co. North of the Great Wicocomico River (later shortened to Wicomico). In 1698, these two parishes were united to form the parish of St. Stephen's parish has been preserved and is now at the State Library at Richmond, Va.. It is in a mutilated condition, the edges of some of the first pages In the volume being worn and wasted away at the edges. Yet the facts contained therein are priceless, imperfect though they be.
On page 3 are recorded these entries of the children of Clement Aldredge:
"....ent Aldridge Son to Clement was Borne Sep.................

.........ce Aldridge Daughter to Do was borne Oct...................
..........m Aldredge Son to Do was Borne Feb...................

.........ohn Aldredge Son to Do was borne Feb...............
Since Clement Aldridge, Jr., was a witness in Court in 1691, it is presumable that these children were born between the years 1672 and 1682. William Aldridge was an adult in 1700. The other sons were evidently Isaac and John; one of the daughters was either Alice or Grace; the other may possibly have been Winifred. The next entry in the register in point of date and alphabetical sequence is in the year 1696 on page 4. Intervening year dates are missing. (Northumberland Co. Births and Deaths, 1650-1810, p.3)
On 2 Apr. 1677, CLEMT ARLIDGE witnessed a will. ON 17 Apr. 1678, CLEMENT ALDRIDGE was party to a suit for debt. He was a carpenter or joiner by trade and had an apprentice bound to him 21 Aug. 1678. CLEMENT ALDRIGE was a tithable of Bowtracy parish 7 June 1679. On 19 Nov. 1679, CLEMENT ALDRIDGE was paid for mending Bowtracy Church. He appears in various court entries in 1684 and 1688. On 22 June 1693, "William Beane was arrested at the suit of CLEMENT ALDRIDGE & ELIZABETH his wife." The final entry regarding him is recorded thus:
"Aldridge's "Upon the mocon of ELIZABETH ALDRIDGE execrx a Probate is granted
Will proved Her of the Last Will and Testament of CLEMENT ALDRIDGE deced.
19 Jan. 1698- the said Will being proved by the oaths of David Straughan & MARY TULLES
1699." Witnesses to the said Will and the same is admitted to Record. (Northumberland
Co. Order Book 5:3)"
Unfortunately this will is missing, being destroyed in a fire at the Courthouse a short time later.
It would have been, undoubtedly, of great aid.

WILLIAM ALLRIDGE or ARLEDGE, son of Clement Aldridge and Elizabeth Tills, was born in February, about the year 1678, in Northumberland Co., Va.. The day and year of his birth record are obliterated from the old St. Stephen's Parish Register, now preserved In the Virginia State Library, Richmond, Va.. The birth of one son is recorded in this same register to William: "...n sone to Wm Aldredge was born May 16, 170...." (P.3)
This was evidently the son John who was under 21 in 1724, as mentioned in his father's will/
William's name appears frequently in the court records, his surname being spelled ALDRIDGE and ALDREDGE, BUT MOST FREQUENTLY ARLEDGE.
"19 May 1703. Wm. Arledge & ALICE his wife having this day in court acknowledged a Deed for Sixty acres of land more or less to Mrs. Hannah Nealy ye sd deed is Recorded." (Northumberland Co. Order Book, 5:246).

William's widow did not survive him many years. On 19 April 1727, the "Inventory of the Estate of SARAH ARLEDGE was presented to court by William Thomas, Richard March and Richd Thomas." (Ibid., 20:70a)

JOHN ALDRIDGE OR ALDRED OR ALRED, son of William Aldridge or Arledge and probably his first wife ALICE , WAS BORN 5/16/170 (PROBABLY ABOUT 17060, in Wicomico Parish, Northumberland Co., Va.. He was under twenty when his father made his will. This would fix his year of birth definitely between the years 1705 and 1709.
In May 1740, CLEMENT ARLEDGE obtained an attachment against the Estate of JOHN ARLEDGE for nine hundred pounds of tobacco.
In 1755, the family had removed to Orange Co, N.C. A list of Taxable of Orange Co., for that year shows living there:
Thomas Allre 2 whites

Among those signing this testimonial were these: Semore York, Jeremiah York, TIDENCE LANE, JOHN LANCE, JOHN ALREAD, Shubal Stearnes. (Colonial records of North Carolina (25-26)
Randolph County was formed from Orange County and Rowan County, (Guilford Co. from Orange and Rowan, 1771; Randolph Co. From Guilford, 1779), and this included the Sandy Creek Settlement. It is probable that JOHN died before 1779, but the date of his death is uncertain.

THOMAS ALLRED, son of John ALDRIDGE or Alfred or Alred, was born about 1730, probably in Wicomico Parish, Northumberland Co., Va. He had moved with his parents to what was then Orange County, but is ow Randolph co., N.C., prior to 1755, when he first appears upon the records there. By this date he was married and probably had one child.
The first list of Taxables made in Randolph County after its formation in 1779, drawn up that same year, included in one group Thomas and four of his sons: ELIAS ALLRED, JOHN ALLRED, JR., THOMAS ALLRED, WILLIAM ALLRED, JAMES ALLRED. Before 1790, when the first Federal Census was taken, his son WILLIAM had removed to S.C. MOSES also removed early to Ga.
