The letter states that the parents of Owen, above mentioned, were Daniel O’Sullivan Beare and Ellen, daughter of Daniel O’Sullivan More, 10th Lord of Dunkerron who died in 1699, by Maryanne Fitzgerald, daughter of the Earl of Kildare. Owen, 9th Lord of Dunkerron, married Mary, second daughter of Sir Edmund Fitzgerald, of Cloyne, the “best estated commoner of his time;” Daniel, the 8th, Joan daughter of Patrick Fitzmaurice, 17th Lord Kerry. Through this Joan and Honora Fitzmaurice, 17th Lord Kerry. Through this Joan and Honora Fitzgerald, wife of the Lord Kerry and the daughter of James, 7th Earl of Desmond, who died 1460. Ellen was descended from Elizabeth Plantagenet, daughter of Edward 1st, who married Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Bereford, and through Matilda of Flanders, wife of William the Conquerer, from Charlemagne and King Alfred.

Note: Phillip O’Sullivan, of Ardea Castle, son of Lord of Bearehaven, married Earl of Thomond’s daughter. His son Daniel married Margaret, daughter of Earl of Clancarthy, and granddaughter of Earl of Cork. His son Phillip married Honora, daughter of Lord Muskerry, who lived at the castle of Macroom, by a sister of the Duke of Ormond. His son Daniel married Ellen, daughter of O’Sullivan More, by Marganne Fitzgerald, daughter of Earl of Kildare, and granddaughter of Earl of Antrim. His son Owen married Marganne, daughter of Owen McSwin__, by Honora McCarthy, duaghter of Florence McFinnen, of Ardtelly, granddaughter of Charles McCarthy of Carricknamarck.” There are some errors in the above, but it is for the most part consistent with the authority. It is not supposed to be precisely accurate, but may aid in ascertaining the truth.

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.

Hi Angie: I noticed your site on the O'Sullivan/O'Bears and how much research you have done to trace the lineage WAY back. Amazing!! I am of the lineage of the Beers Family and I have some notes from others within the family who have traced their heritage, etc...and I notice that there is some indication and notes that the Beer's are from this OBears/Beare lineage in Ireland. You may have no indication of this in your research and probably didn't have reason to research that family but If you do have any notes as to this being true....please let me know. Thank you Angie and I will continue to read your site. Bruce

Thomas Rathbone
Received on August 19th from Robert Boehm Rathbun, PO BOX 1741, Bowling Green, Kentucky, 42102, e-mail - [email protected]
4. THOMAS3 RATHBONE (THOMAS2, WILLIAM1) was born January 1595/96 in Prescott, County Lancashire, England, and died February 1653/54 in Ditton, Prescott, County Lancashire, England. He married ALICE UNKNOWN April 13, 1616 in Farnworth Chapel, Prescott, County Lancashire, England.
Notes for THOMAS RATHBONE:
Thomas was a shoemaker in the hamlet of Hough Green, in Ditton Township about two miles from Farnworth Chapel. His will probated in February of 1653/54. It mentioned his "new house", a "garden and stockyard" and "two cows, one heifer, one little calf and one mare." The estate inventory mentioned his shop containing "shoes, leather and things belonging to a shoemaker." It also included a corn car, a vegetable cart, a plow, plow parts, a harrow and extra wheels and rims>' It lists a corn and hay for his livestock, a quantity of hemp and a "brake" which is used in beating hemp into useable fiber, a pitchfork, and a ladder. His total assets at his death were 29 pounds thirteen shillings and two pence. It also mentions "money due by bonds and other ways"-five pounds 16 shillings. At the time that Thomas lived English law required that every new cottage have at least four acres of land. No doubt, Thomas had those acres where he farmed. Thomas, Grace, John, Mary and Ailces were named in the will.
The family was Anglicans.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dear Angie: What a delight to finally talk to you today!!! I have thought of you so many times since I received your letter and I am so happy I found you home, etc., today!

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.

(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.

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).

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:

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.

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).

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.
