Biography

Charles Aldrich was born 1794 in Rhode Island, the son of Gardner Aldrich and his wife Anne (Colwell) Aldrich.^[1][2]

He married (1st) to Betsey Aldrich daughter of Joshua and Ruth Aldrich^[1]She may have died at age 39 or 40 in 1833. Her father Joshua Aldrich was in Revolutionary War, placed on pension roll of Chenango Co., N. Y in 1833 at the age of 72 years, for service of private in the Rhode Island militia.^[3] He was b. in Smithfield, R. I., and died in Norwich, N. Y.^[4]

Charles married (2nd) to Maria (maiden name unknown, possibly Aldrich, daughter of Noah.^[1]She was born about 1806 in Massachusetts.^[2]

By 1850 Charles (age 56) and Maria were living in Plymouth, Chenango County, New York; he was a farmer spelling surname "Aldridge." The following children, who were all born in New York, were living with them: Smith age 30, Augustus age 23, Noah age 14, Charles age 9, Maria age 2, Albertus age 8 months.^[2]The rest of their lives, they remained living in this area; it seems their son Charles Henry farmed with them, since in the 1865 and 1870 census, he and his family are listed in the same vicinity.^[5][6]
