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:

The origin of the name O’Sullivan
The surname O’Sullivan or in Irish Ó Súilleabháin traces its origin from Milesians, King of the Milesians (or Celts), King of Spain through the line of his son, Heber, first absolute King of Ireland 504 BC. The surname O’Sullivan is derived from the words Súil (eye) and abháin, (one) and in its Irish form Ó Súillabháin means descendant of the one eyed or descendant of the hawk-eyed. The O’Sullivans were descendants of Eoghan (Owen) Mór, the father of the famous Olioll Olum, celebrated King of Munster in the third Century. Olioll Olum had three sons, Eoghan, Cormac Cais and Cian, and by his will he commanded that the kingdom should be ruled alternately by one of the descendants of Eoghan and Cormac Cais. From Eoghan, the eldest son of Olioll Olum was descended the Eoganachts or Eugenians, who were styled Kings of Cashel. The Eoghanachts possessed Desmond or south Munster, the present counties of Cork and Kerry; they also held most of the present country of Tipperary. The O’Sullivans were one of the principal families of the race of Eogan or Eoghanacht (i.e. descendants of Eoghan) of Munster. There were three principal branches of the O’Sullivan Clan:-
1. O’Sullivan Beara: This branch of the family had the ancient territory of Beara now the baronies of Beare and Bantry in the county of Cork, and were called O’Sullivan Beara and styled princes of Beara.
2. O’Sullivan Mór: This branch of the family were lords of Dunkerron, and possessed the barony of Dunkerron near the river Kenmare, and their chief seat was the castle of Dunkerron.
3. O’Sullivan of Croc Raffan: This branch of the O’Sullivans were chiefs of Knockgraffan in Tipperary and the territory they possessed in Tipperary was situated in the barony of Middlethird, between Cashel and Cahir.
The O’Sullivan family motto is Lamh foistenach abu meaning ‘The steady hand to victory’.
The name O’Sullivan and its variant forms are the third most numerous surname in Ireland. There are an estimated 41,500 bearers of the name resident in the island at the present time. However, we must not forget that there are possibly ten times that total of O’Sullivans living outside the shores of Ireland, in the two Americas, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, England, Europe, the African Continent and to a lesser extent Asia and the rest of the world. There is an O’Sullivan family in every county in Ireland, but the main branch of the family is associated with the province of Munster.

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."

Birth: 15 MAR 1616/17 in Davonshire, England
Birth: 15 JUL 1613 in Dorchester, Devonshire, England 4 5
Birth: ABT. 1620 in Stonehouse, Devonshire, England 3
Death: 25 NOV 1683 in Shrewsbury, Monmouth Co., NJ 3
Religion: Quaker
Note:
On April 1, 1640 he was chosen to a Dorchester, Massachusetts town office and was made freeman of the court of Boston on May 13, 1640.
On July 6, 1651 he was formally excomminicated and in 1652 he returned to England. Shortly thereafter he became a member of the Society of Friends. In Febuary of 1655 the mayor of Plymouth, England casued him to be arrested and imprisoned for having asserted that "Christ was the word of God and the Scriptures a declaration of the mind of God."
In May, 1655 (acording to Sewll's History of the Quakers) he testified against the acts of the mayor and the falsehood of the charges brought against him and was released. He was arrested again in 1660 on similar charges.
In 1661 or 1662 he sailed again for New England and this time took up residence in Rhode Island.
He received patent for land in New Jersey and was among the earliest settles in Shrewsbury, NJ, being a founding member of the Shrewsbury Meeting, which for a long time met at his house.
in 1669 he was elected a member of the governor's council as one of the representatives from Shrewbury but, being unwilling to take the oath of allegiance unless it contained a provision guarenteeing the patent rights of the Monmouth towns he was not allowed to take his seat.
In 1670 the first meeting for wotrship was formed by the Friends and in 1672 was visited by George Fox, who was entertained during his stay by Richard. Soon thereafter, Richard made another, final voyage to England, where he was when John Fenwick was preparing to West Jersey;
and on August 9, 1676, he obtained from Fenwick a patent for one thousand acres of land in his colony (probably as speculation since neither he nor his childeren every occupied it.
Notes from Darrell Lippincott:
Richard and his wife were residents of Dorchester, MA in 1639 and members of the Puritan Church. On 1 Apr 1640 Richard was chosen as a Town Officer Dorchester and admitted as "Freeman" of the Massachussets Bay Colony by the General Court of Boston of 13 May 1640.
About 1643 they settled in Boston and formed a connection with the church in 1644. In 1651 he was excommunicated from "ye church of dorchester...for withdrawing communion from ye fellowship of ye church and being demanded a ground of his so walking, he would give none
but said he wanted a commission to speak; whereupon for not hearing ye church in their convincing arguments, was excommunicated from ye fellowship of ye church of ye 6 of ye 5th mo. 1651. in ye name of Lord Jesus and with ye consent of ye church, being admonished twice before."
In 1652 Richard returned with his family to England where he made a home in Plymouth, Devonshire and became allied with the Society of Friends. About 4 years later he is found defvending the Friends and residing in Stone House, a parish near Plymouth. In Feb of 1655 he was arrested by the Mayor and confined in or near the Castle of Exeter. Again on January 20, 1660 he was arrested by the Mayor. Richard,Thomas Hooten and Margaret Kellam were taken from a meeting at Plymouth and sent to the High Goal at Exon (Exeter). They were later released at the solicition of Margaret Fell (who became the wife of George Fox in 1669) and others who were influential with the newly restored King Charles II in granting liberation of Friends. Owing to the mistreatment of Quakers in England Richard and family returned to America in 1663, settling first in Rhode Island because of the freedom offered there to Friends for the exercise of their worship. He joined in the formation of an association at Newport, RI in 1664 for the purpose of securing title from the Indians to a large tract of land in NJ was was the largest contributor to the funds raised for that purpose. The purchase was effected from Indian Sachem (Popomma) on 8 Apr 1665 and the land was confirmed to the RI company the next day by patent from Gov Nicholls. By the terms of the Grant, all who settled within its limits were to have "free liberty of conscience, without any molestation or disturbance whatsoever in their way of worship". And it was stipulated that at least 100 families should settle thereon within the space of 3 years. In 1665, in company with others, Richard moved from RI and became a member of the first English colony in New Jersey near the Shrewsbury River, as the largest shareholder. Richard's residence was on Passenqueneiqa Creek, a branch of South Shrewsbury River, northeast of the residence of his son-in-law Samuel Dennis which was 3/4 mile east of Shrewbury. Richard was one of the Founders of the Shrewsbury Friends Meeting, of which he was one of the most prominent and active membes throughout the remainder of his life. The first Provicial Assembly was organized in the Province in 1668 and Richard was a representative in it. He was an active officer of the colony, serving as Deputy of the Patentees and Overseerin 1669 and 1670. In 1670 he was made one of the "Associates of the Patentees" the first local court of judicature. He entertained George Fox in 1672. (Richard accompanied George Fox during his religious visit in this country, and was a consistent and exemplary Friend). In 1676 he obtained a grant of 1,000 acres in Fenwick Colony. In 1677 he was again elected to the Assembly and was Coroner of Monmouth County 1682/83. Richard's will, signed 23 Nov 1683 shows no Executor was named, wife Abigail became administrator, William Shattack and Francis Burden giving 300 pounds in bond for her faithful administration.
Richard became a freeman on May 13, 1640, having been chosen as a town officer of Dorchester, MA on 4-1-1640. Members of the"aristocracy" were known as freeman, enjoying rights not given to the common people such as the right to vote. In order to qualify as a freeman, a citizen had to show that he was a member of the Puritan Chruch in good standing. He has to be an industrious and law-abiding person and worth in property or money at least 200 pounds. The revised Charter of 1691 changed qualifications for becoming a freeman. The religious clause was dropped and the ownership of property which had a value of 40 pounds sterling was required in order to have a right to vote. A common man was known as a "Goodman" and his wife as "Goodwife" or "Goody" in ordinary speech, while a freeman had the title of "Master".
In 1670 with the population of 25,000 in Massachusetts only 1,100 were classed as freeman. The Charter mentioned above increased the number of voters to about 1/5 of the adult male population. Only freeman and their wives were permitted to wear costly garments.

"QUAKER BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES of Ministers and Elders, and other
concerned members of the Yearly Meeting of Philadelphia" [1682-1800]
Edited by Willard Heiss (Indianapolis: 1972) Page 85-86
"RICHARD LIPPINCOTT. Richard Lippincott, originally of
Devonshire,
England, was one of the early settlers in Massachusetts, and we find
him in the Second month, 1640, residing in Dorchester, near Boston."
[the article goes on for a page and a half - there is copy of same
in file] The last six paragraphs are as follows: "To return to Richard
Lippincott. Early in the year 1653, he went back to England to reside,
taking with him his wife, whose name was Abigail, and two children.
Their first child he had named, after the practice of the Puritans,
Remembrance, in the recollection of the liberty he had enjoyed on his
first arrival in the western world. His second son was John, which
means the "gift" or "grace of the Lord." His third son, was born
soon after his arrival in England, he called Restore, being once more
restored to the land of his forefathers. He settled near Plymouth, and
was soon convinced of the truth of the doctrince, which George Fox was
sent forth to proclaim afresh to a formal, priest-ridden people.
In the year 1655, he was imprisoned for this faithfulness to the
testimony of Truth, and being soon released, he named his fourth son,
born after, Freedom. His next child was a daughter, and in token of
the enlargement of his family, he called her Increase. His sixth
child was born in 1660, and was named Jacob. Towards the close of
that year, he was improsoned in Exeter, for having attended a meeting
of Friends in that city.
A year or two after this, he returned to America with his family,
and
settled in Rhode Island, where, in 1663, another daughter being added
to the family circle, he, in commemoration of the saving protecting
mercy which had watched over him in his varied trials and persecutions,
called her Preserved.
The English having taken possession of "New Amsterdam" and the
territories thereunto belonging, Charles the Second granted by charter
all the lands from the Delaware river to the Connecticut, to his
brother, the Duke of York. In 1665, a number of Friends of Long
Island,
having first bought of the Indiana Sachems a large portion of land in
what is now called New Jersey, lying between the Raritan river and the
ocean, applied for, and obtained a patent therefor, of Nichols,
governor
under the Duke. When a settlement began to be made on this tract,
Richard Lippincott was induced to remove thither, where he soon
became one of the largest proprietors."
Here Richard Lippincott lived an active, useful life, surrounded
by a
family of children who bid fair to follow his example, performing
their religious, as well as social duties with alacrity. He was a
useful member of the religious Society of Friends, and so were several
of his children, as we shall have occasion hereafter to show.
His death took place on the 25th of the Ninth month, 1683.

"RICHARD LIPPINCOTT. Richard Lippincott, originally of
Devonshire,
England, was one of the early settlers in Massachusetts, and we find
him in the Second month, 1640, residing in Dorchester, near Boston."
[the article goes on for a page and a half - there is copy of same
in file] The last six paragraphs are as follows: "To return to Richard
Lippincott. Early in the year 1653, he went back to England to reside,
taking with him his wife, whose name was Abigail, and two children.
Their first child he had named, after the practice of the Puritans,
Remembrance, in the recollection of the liberty he had enjoyed on his
first arrival in the western world. His second son was John, which
means the "gift" or "grace of the Lord." His third son, was born
soon after his arrival in England, he called Restore, being once more
restored to the land of his forefathers. He settled near Plymouth, and
was soon convinced of the truth of the doctrince, which George Fox was
sent forth to proclaim afresh to a formal, priest-ridden people.
In the year 1655, he was imprisoned for this faithfulness to the
testimony of Truth, and being soon released, he named his fourth son,
born after, Freedom. His next child was a daughter, and in token of
the enlargement of his family, he called her Increase. His sixth
child was born in 1660, and was named Jacob. Towards the close of
that year, he was improsoned in Exeter, for having attended a meeting
of Friends in that city.
A year or two after this, he returned to America with his family,
and
settled in Rhode Island, where, in 1663, another daughter being added
to the family circle, he, in commemoration of the saving protecting
mercy which had watched over him in his varied trials and persecutions,
called her Preserved.
The English having taken possession of "New Amsterdam" and the
territories thereunto belonging, Charles the Second granted by charter
all the lands from the Delaware river to the Connecticut, to his
brother, the Duke of York. In 1665, a number of Friends of Long
Island,
having first bought of the Indiana Sachems a large portion of land in
what is now called New Jersey, lying between the Raritan river and the
ocean, applied for, and obtained a patent therefor, of Nichols,
governor
under the Duke. When a settlement began to be made on this tract,
Richard Lippincott was induced to remove thither, where he soon
became one of the largest proprietors."
Here Richard Lippincott lived an active, useful life, surrounded
by a
family of children who bid fair to follow his example, performing
their religious, as well as social duties with alacrity. He was a
useful member of the religious Society of Friends, and so were several
of his children, as we shall have occasion hereafter to show.
His death took place on the 25th of the Ninth month, 1683.

John Rathbone
Received on August 19th from Robert Boehm Rathbun, PO BOX 1741, Bowling Green, Kentucky, 42102, e-mail - [email protected]
96. John Rathbun, born March 1629/30 in Prescott Parrish, County Lancashire, England; died Bef. October 06, 1702 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island. He married 97. Margaret Acres Abt. 1654 in County Lancashire, England.
97. Margaret Acres, born September 1633 in Prescott Parrish, County Lancashire, England; died Aft. September 15, 1716 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island. She was the daughter of 194. Thomas Acres and 195. Margery Houghton.
Notes for John Rathbun:
John Rathbone, was baptized 8 March 1629/30, at Farnworth Chapel, Prescott, County, Lancashire, England. He was the second son and the third child of Thomas and Alice Rathbone. Thomas, his father, was a shoemaker in the hamlet of Hough Green in Ditton Township, about two miles from Farnworth Chapel. When Thomas died, his estate inventory mentioned a shop containing "shoes, leather and things belonging to a shoemaker." His will mentioned his "new house" and a "garden and stockyard" and "two cows, one heifer, one little calf and one mare." The inventory also included a corn car, a vegatable cart, a plow, plow parts, a harrow and extra wheels and rims. His total assets were 29 pounds shillings and two pence. The family were Anglicans.
John Rathbun was raised in Ditton, County Lancashire in a family of six children. He married in the area to Margaret Acres, the daughter of Thomas Acres, a neighbors of the Rathbones. It would appear that after being left a small sum of money from his father's estate in 1654 he left England with his bride and settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts where others from County Lancashire had settled. His name first appeared in the American records when he was listed among 12 Massachusetts men who met at the Roxbury home of Dr. John Alcock to consider the purchase of Block Island, a small island twelve miles off the coast of Rhode Island. In 1658, the possession of Block Island was transferred from the Colony of Massachusetts to private individuals with its sale to Richard Bellingham, Daniel Dennison, John Endicott and William Hawthore. They in turn made the last transfer of land as a whole to the company of twelve men who met at Dr. Alcock's. A second meeting was held where the number of individuals had grown to sixteen. Drawings were held to assign each of the proprietors a "great lot" in both the northern and southern sections of the land. John, less affluent than some of the others pooled his funds with Edward Vorse, another native of County Lancashire and brought half shares. Their land in the southern section lay along the southeastern coast and their land in the north consisted of a lot. Totally, they had 420 acres. Years later it was discovered that a mistake was made in the original survey. In 1671, the lawyers for the estate of Dr. Alcock granted John Rathbun an additional 60 acres "what land shall be found wantinge...in some convenient place in the commonland". He was given land near the center of the island stretching from near where the center of town is today to the ocean east of town. In October of 1680, he made his last payment of his share of the original purchase.
According to the New Shoreham town books, a barque was built to transport the cattle to the island. A shallop was built by Samuel Deering and Simon Ray who no doubt charged the others for the transportation to the island. The families met in Taunton for the trip to New Shoreham in April 1661.
John was listed as a freeman of New Shoreham in 1664. He represented New Shoreham in the Rhode Island General Assembly for five years. In 1685, he was a member of the Crown Party which supported King James' order vacating the Rhode Island colonial charter. He signed with his mark "JR". That same year, King James was overthrown during the Glorious Revolution and the Crown Party was out of favor in Rhode Island.
It appears that during his political career he kept a home on the mainland in Newport. In 1674, he was living in Hammersmith, a section of Newport. He returned to Block Island about 1685. In 1702 he was listed as a proprietor of the town wharf in Newport.
Block Island was invaded by a French privateer in July of 1698. The invaders asked some of the islanders who had money and they directed them to John Rathbun. At the Rathbun home, the invaders seized John, Jr. who they tied, stripped to the wait and whipped.
John's will dated February 12, 1702 at Block Island described him a a "yeoman". Although listed of Block Island, the inventory of his estate indicates he considered Newport his principal home. He conducted some sort of business there as his will referred to a "shop" there. His will was probated October 16, 1702. He named his wife, Margaret; sons John, William, Joseph, Samuel and Thomas; daughters Sarah, Margaret and Elizabeth and grandchildren John son of John and John son of Willliam. The will was witnessed by James Welch and Roger Dickens (Book 1 Page 285). His widow survived him at least fourteen years as in March of 1716 as "widow and relict of John Rathbun, deceased" she made a deposition on Block Island regarding properties.
John was baptized in the Anglican church in England. He may have been a Quaker in Newport as his son's birth is registered in Quaker records there.
He was a slave owner as he left a slave to his son, Thomas, at his death.
ENGLISH LINEAGE
The Rathbone Genealogy compiled by John C. Cooley was published in 1898. For many years, family historians have accepted Cooley's version of the family's earliest generations. However, by the 1940's many found that they could not prove what Cooley had stated in his genealogy. Much research was done most by Frank H. Rathbun of Fairfax, Virginia. He established the current thinking on the early records of the family as we know it today in his publication from 1981 to 1996 of the Rathbun Rathbone Rathburn Family Historian.
The English lineage of John Rathbun, the immigrant is the following:
1) Thomas Rathbone, the shoemaker of Hough Green, the father of John Rathbun, the immigrant, was baptized 9 January 1595/96 at Farnworth Chapel, Prescott, County Lancashire, the son of Thomas and Grace (Coppowe) Rathbone. He died February 1653/54 in Ditton, County Lancashire, England. He had married a widow, Mrs. Alice Chidwell, at Farnworth Chapel on 13 April 1616
2) Thomas Rathbone was baptized 28 December 1566 at Farnworth Chapel, Prescott, County Lancashire, England and died there 7 November 1623. He married 13 October 1588 at Farnworth Chapel to Grace Coppowe, the daughter of John Coppowe. Thomas was named for a brother who had died young.
3) William Rathbone was about 1538 and June 1587 in Ditton, Prescott, County Lancashire, England. The name of his first wife and the father of Thomas is unknown. William was buried at "William Rathbone of Ditton" on 8 June 1587.
This lineage can be found in the appendix.

vii. Elizabeth Rathbun, born 1670 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island; died Aft. August 14, 1747 in Tiverton, Bristol, Rhode Island; married Nicholas Mosher August 12, 1687; born 1666; died August 14, 1747 in Tiverton, Bristol, Rhode Island.
Notes for Nicholas Mosher:
The Mosher Genealogy does not have Elizabeth Rathbun as the wife of Nicholas Mosher. Ours is only secondary proof. First is the connection between the Rathbun and Mosher family to begin with. John Rathbun did not list the married names of his daughters in his will. Elizabeth was alive in 1702 when his will was written. The cattle ear marks of Elizabeth Rathbun and Nicholas Mosher are "combined". What I mean is that Elizabeth's mark is such that if she did marry Nicholas, Nicholas just added some to her mark to get his mark. Easy to take over her stock with his new mark!
Nicholas was in Dartmouth as late as 1713 and in Tiverton as early as 1728. His will dated March 11, 1747 names his wife; sons Hugh, Joseph, Thomas and Nicholas; daughters Mary Allen, Elizabeth Tripp, Mercy Shreve, Rebeckah Willcocks and Margaret Tabor and granddaughter Sarah Pope.
In completing the first five generations of the family of John Rathbone all branches, I was just entered the children of Nicholas and Elizabeth (Rathbone) Mosher.

Notes for Samuel Rathbun:
Samuel was admitted a freeman on January 2, 1693. He was elected a constable in 1695 and again in 1708. IN 1731, he was a depute warden and town treasurer. In 1743 he again was town treasurer and in 1748 town clerk. In 1740, he signed a petition asking that armed men be sent to Block Island to help to resist an anticipated French Spanish invasion.

96. John Rathbun, born March 1629/30 in Prescott Parrish, County Lancashire, England; died Bef. October 06, 1702 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island. He married 97. Margaret Acres Abt. 1654 in County Lancashire, England.
97. Margaret Acres, born September 1633 in Prescott Parrish, County Lancashire, England; died Aft. September 15, 1716 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island. She was the daughter of 194. Thomas Acres and 195. Margery Houghton.
Notes for John Rathbun:
John Rathbone, was baptized 8 March 1629/30, at Farnworth Chapel, Prescott, County, Lancashire, England. He was the second son and the third child of Thomas and Alice Rathbone. Thomas, his father, was a shoemaker in the hamlet of Hough Green in Ditton Township, about two miles from Farnworth Chapel. When Thomas died, his estate inventory mentioned a shop containing "shoes, leather and things belonging to a shoemaker." His will mentioned his "new house" and a "garden and stockyard" and "two cows, one heifer, one little calf and one mare." The inventory also included a corn car, a vegatable cart, a plow, plow parts, a harrow and extra wheels and rims. His total assets were 29 pounds shillings and two pence. The family were Anglicans.
John Rathbun was raised in Ditton, County Lancashire in a family of six children. He married in the area to Margaret Acres, the daughter of Thomas Acres, a neighbors of the Rathbones. It would appear that after being left a small sum of money from his father's estate in 1654 he left England with his bride and settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts where others from County Lancashire had settled. His name first appeared in the American records when he was listed among 12 Massachusetts men who met at the Roxbury home of Dr. John Alcock to consider the purchase of Block Island, a small island twelve miles off the coast of Rhode Island. In 1658, the possession of Block Island was transferred from the Colony of Massachusetts to private individuals with its sale to Richard Bellingham, Daniel Dennison, John Endicott and William Hawthore. They in turn made the last transfer of land as a whole to the company of twelve men who met at Dr. Alcock's. A second meeting was held where the number of individuals had grown to sixteen. Drawings were held to assign each of the proprietors a "great lot" in both the northern and southern sections of the land. John, less affluent than some of the others pooled his funds with Edward Vorse, another native of County Lancashire and brought half shares. Their land in the southern section lay along the southeastern coast and their land in the north consisted of a lot. Totally, they had 420 acres. Years later it was discovered that a mistake was made in the original survey. In 1671, the lawyers for the estate of Dr. Alcock granted John Rathbun an additional 60 acres "what land shall be found wantinge...in some convenient place in the commonland". He was given land near the center of the island stretching from near where the center of town is today to the ocean east of town. In October of 1680, he made his last payment of his share of the original purchase.
According to the New Shoreham town books, a barque was built to transport the cattle to the island. A shallop was built by Samuel Deering and Simon Ray who no doubt charged the others for the transportation to the island. The families met in Taunton for the trip to New Shoreham in April 1661.
John was listed as a freeman of New Shoreham in 1664. He represented New Shoreham in the Rhode Island General Assembly for five years. In 1685, he was a member of the Crown Party which supported King James' order vacating the Rhode Island colonial charter. He signed with his mark "JR". That same year, King James was overthrown during the Glorious Revolution and the Crown Party was out of favor in Rhode Island.
It appears that during his political career he kept a home on the mainland in Newport. In 1674, he was living in Hammersmith, a section of Newport. He returned to Block Island about 1685. In 1702 he was listed as a proprietor of the town wharf in Newport.
Block Island was invaded by a French privateer in July of 1698. The invaders asked some of the islanders who had money and they directed them to John Rathbun. At the Rathbun home, the invaders seized John, Jr. who they tied, stripped to the wait and whipped.
John's will dated February 12, 1702 at Block Island described him a a "yeoman". Although listed of Block Island, the inventory of his estate indicates he considered Newport his principal home. He conducted some sort of business there as his will referred to a "shop" there. His will was probated October 16, 1702. He named his wife, Margaret; sons John, William, Joseph, Samuel and Thomas; daughters Sarah, Margaret and Elizabeth and grandchildren John son of John and John son of Willliam. The will was witnessed by James Welch and Roger Dickens (Book 1 Page 285). His widow survived him at least fourteen years as in March of 1716 as "widow and relict of John Rathbun, deceased" she made a deposition on Block Island regarding properties.
John was baptized in the Anglican church in England. He may have been a Quaker in Newport as his son's birth is registered in Quaker records there.
He was a slave owner as he left a slave to his son, Thomas, at his death.
ENGLISH LINEAGE
The Rathbone Genealogy compiled by John C. Cooley was published in 1898. For many years, family historians have accepted Cooley's version of the family's earliest generations. However, by the 1940's many found that they could not prove what Cooley had stated in his genealogy. Much research was done most by Frank H. Rathbun of Fairfax, Virginia. He established the current thinking on the early records of the family as we know it today in his publication from 1981 to 1996 of the Rathbun Rathbone Rathburn Family Historian.
The English lineage of John Rathbun, the immigrant is the following:
1) Thomas Rathbone, the shoemaker of Hough Green, the father of John Rathbun, the immigrant, was baptized 9 January 1595/96 at Farnworth Chapel, Prescott, County Lancashire, the son of Thomas and Grace (Coppowe) Rathbone. He died February 1653/54 in Ditton, County Lancashire, England. He had married a widow, Mrs. Alice Chidwell, at Farnworth Chapel on 13 April 1616
2) Thomas Rathbone was baptized 28 December 1566 at Farnworth Chapel, Prescott, County Lancashire, England and died there 7 November 1623. He married 13 October 1588 at Farnworth Chapel to Grace Coppowe, the daughter of John Coppowe. Thomas was named for a brother who had died young.
3) William Rathbone was about 1538 and June 1587 in Ditton, Prescott, County Lancashire, England. The name of his first wife and the father of Thomas is unknown. William was buried at "William Rathbone of Ditton" on 8 June 1587.
This lineage can be found in the appendix.

vii. Elizabeth Rathbun, born 1670 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island; died Aft. August 14, 1747 in Tiverton, Bristol, Rhode Island; married Nicholas Mosher August 12, 1687; born 1666; died August 14, 1747 in Tiverton, Bristol, Rhode Island.
Notes for Nicholas Mosher:
The Mosher Genealogy does not have Elizabeth Rathbun as the wife of Nicholas Mosher. Ours is only secondary proof. First is the connection between the Rathbun and Mosher family to begin with. John Rathbun did not list the married names of his daughters in his will. Elizabeth was alive in 1702 when his will was written. The cattle ear marks of Elizabeth Rathbun and Nicholas Mosher are "combined". What I mean is that Elizabeth's mark is such that if she did marry Nicholas, Nicholas just added some to her mark to get his mark. Easy to take over her stock with his new mark!
Nicholas was in Dartmouth as late as 1713 and in Tiverton as early as 1728. His will dated March 11, 1747 names his wife; sons Hugh, Joseph, Thomas and Nicholas; daughters Mary Allen, Elizabeth Tripp, Mercy Shreve, Rebeckah Willcocks and Margaret Tabor and granddaughter Sarah Pope.
In completing the first five generations of the family of John Rathbone all branches, I was just entered the children of Nicholas and Elizabeth (Rathbone) Mosher.

Notes for Samuel Rathbun:
Samuel was admitted a freeman on January 2, 1693. He was elected a constable in 1695 and again in 1708. IN 1731, he was a depute warden and town treasurer. In 1743 he again was town treasurer and in 1748 town clerk. In 1740, he signed a petition asking that armed men be sent to Block Island to help to resist an anticipated French Spanish invasion. On March 25, 1716, he witnessed the will of his brother, Thomas. He was listed as a yeoman on June 8, 1728. While being a farmer, he was also listed in records as a carpenter and wheelwright.

Dear Angie, Robert and Evelyn Owens who have done most of the research on the Owens line now believe that our William Owens was not the son of Richard Owens and grandson of John H. Owens. Before they left for their mission they suggested I research it but I have been too involved on other lines. What it looks like though is that William's father was probably Thomas Owens of Norfolk, Virginia, born about 1612. William Owens and Ann had children: William, John, Robert, and Samuel. You will probably want to take off the earlier generations until we find out for sure or at least put challenged or possible until it is proven. What they had found sounded really good but it is not proven yet. Thank you for keeping me in the loop of your correspondence and research.
Love, Barbara S.

Clement Aldridge
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.

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
The Worstead Parish Registers contain these entries:

His wife may have been the daughter of Christopher Boswell wife may have been the daughter of Christopher Boswell and Margery Lambert, married at Worstead in 1577, and a sister of Edmund Boswell who married Susan Compton there in 1612.

1668 18 Oct. Clement Aldridge and Elizabeth Tills.
1673 12 May Samuel Pycroft and Alice Aldered (sister of Clement).
BURIALS
1668 1 Sept. Alice W. Clement Aldridge.
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 .

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)

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.

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.

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.

(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:

BURIALS
1668 1 Sept. Alice W. Clement Aldridge.
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 .

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. There is preserved on Petition from a group of his neighbors, and he on behalf of Thomas Welborn, who appears to have come under investigation fro his part in the struggle.

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.

Hi Angie,
Been sometime and somehow I misplaced your newest address. I retired last year and have had more time to search out our family. I don't remember just where we left off but I have the folks in Clutton back to 1691 where the records run out.....Ann Parfitt that married Joseph Rose, parents of Elizabeth Rose, wife of John Vater....got no further than John Vater . The Roses I have back to Joseph Rose D: 21 jul 1737 in Clutton. His son Joseph Rose B; 1703 Clutton, married Elizabeth Heale.....I have her family back to the early 1500's....complete with a private search of Chew Magna Somerset Parish registers.....most interesting.
But back to Mary Goulston B: 16 sep 1736 Wrington, D: 5 oct 1772 Wrington......her father was Robert Goulston B: abt 1699 at St Marys Redcliffe Eng......part of Bristol..her mother was Mary Hort B: 08 jun 1702, mar: 1727 Wrington.....they had seven children. Betty-Bettie(y) 5 sep 1728...Thomas B: 1730....Sarah B; 22 nov 1729...Robert B: 1732......I have found another cousin Yvonne Miller, descendant of this Robert.......Ann B: 4 oct 1734......Sarah B: 17 feb 1738....and our Mary B: 16 sep 1736..........some records also show George Goulston B: 2 sep 1744 as a son but the actual parish register lists him as illigitimate son of Mary Goulston.....unless her husband had died and she had another child by someone else, I can't verify he is a correct brother.
Mary Hort was the daughter of William Hort B: abt 1680 and Elizabeth of Wrington.........they are on the parish register....Williams parents I don't know for sure, there were two Williams born about the same time one the son of a William and the other a son of Joseph so I guess I am stuck there. The parish register is really hard to read, some pages are impossible.
Robert Goulston B: 1699, was the son of Bourchier Goldston B: 13 sep 1675 St Werburgh, Bristol and Sarah Packer B: 1679 Redcliffe, Eng....they were mar: 19 may 1698, Thornbury Glouchester Eng....she is listed Ch: Cromhall Glou and stated of Redcliffe........her parents were Joseph Packer ad Sara Bourchier Goldston B: 1675..his father was Robert Gouldstone B: 10 nov 1636 of South Molton Devon.....he married 24 nov 1672..of St Werburgh Bristol Eng to Mary Wrighte B: abt 1650/55....their additional children were Katharine Goldeston B: 21 apr 1639 and Ursula Goleston B: 4 apr 1641....these are from parish registers.
Back to Robert Gouldstone 1636...his parents were Robert Goldstone B: abt 1615 of South Molton Devon and Katharine Bouchier B: abt 1615......the Bouchier family was very extensive, one branch was in Devon, some in Bath....some had significant positions of Earl and such.....apparently they fell out of favor around Cromwells revolution and many of them left for USA
The Goulston name sure gets spelled a lot of ways...

pastor of the Church there.
From John Walker Family Newsletter: 1995 No. 2 : Reverand Zechariah Walker:
Son of Robert and Sarah (Leager) Walker, was born 15 Sep 1637 and christened 1 Oct 1637 at
Boston, Massachusetts. He was a "debtor" (student) at Harvard College from 1653 to 1655 and was
one of 17 students who left the college, probably in protest against lengthening of the course for the
degree of Bachelor of Arts from 3 to 4 yearss. in 1662 he was chosen to serve as the first minister of
the newly-organized church at Jamaica, Long Island. He may have had to preach at first in the ordinary,
or inn kept by John Baylie in Jamaica. On 14 Feb 1662/3, Mr. Walker's salary was fixed at 60 pounds
sterling a year, but since money was scarce, most of the salary was paid in wheat at 6s. a bushel and
indian corn at 3s.6d. a bushel. The town of Jamaica built the first meeting house, 26 feet square, in
1663 and there Mr. Walker preached till he left Jamaica in 1668. He was "a man of solid attainments,
well educated and sound in doctrine, a pungent and powerful preacher and greatly well loved by the
people he served." On 7 Aug 1668 he left Jamaica and became the pastor of the Second Church at
Stratford, Conn. He was ordained minister of that church 5 May 1670. He removed to Woodbury with
the first settlers of that town and became the first minister there, and remained there till his death which
occured on 20 Jan 1699/1700 and he was buried there. (The American Genealogist Vol21 p.67)
In Connecticut about 1669 he married first Mary Prudden, daughter of Rev. Peter Prudden and Joanna
(Boyse) Prudden. Mary was christened 4 Dec 1641 at
Milford, Connecticut and died before 1681.
He married secondly Susanna Rossiter. She was the daughter of Bryan and Elizabeth (Alsop) Roositer
and was born 18 Nov 1652 at Guilford, Connecicut. He died 26 Apr 1710 at Woodbury, Conn. Three
Children were born to Zechariah and his first wife Mary.
