Biography

^[1]

Children: Mary (May 8 1741), Susannah (Nov 29 1743), Sarah (Nov 29 1746), Penellepy (Nov 26 1848), Jonathan (Sept 16 1749), Catharina (Aug 24 1750), Isabel (Oct 29 1752), Meriathanina (May 1 1753), Lot (Oct 30 1754), Hannah (April 5 1756), David (July 21 1757), John (Sept 21 1759), Simeon (May 1760), Elijah (March 30 1762), Molley (April 30 1763), all born in Uxbridge. John was called Jonathan in his children's birth records.

It seems they had their first 3 children before they were married (June 1 1748), unless there were two Jonathan and Mary Aldrich's in Uxbridge at the same time. Which is a possibility.

John's will was probated November 29, 1792 in Worcester, Massachusetts, his family at the time the will was written (November 11, 1782^[2]):

• wife Mary
• sons Lot Aldrich (my lands in Richmond whereon he now Dwells), David Aldrich, John Aldrich, Elijah Aldrich

• daughters Isabel Aldrich, Bathsheba Aldrich, Penellepy, Cathern, Molley

• executor: son David Aldrich
  

• witnesses: Samuel Aldrich, Joshua Aldrich, William Aldrich
