Nicholas acquired 300 acres of land called “Aldridge’s Beginning” on 20 August 1680. (Ref. “Settlers of Maryland 1679-1783, page 8)[4] He is listed in various records, in 1687, 1688, 1694, 1707 [5]

He was in the rent roll August 1680 for land on the south side Magothy River. In 1707 his rent was twelve shillings for the three hundred acres that was granted to him 1681.

Research Notes

Note on the son of Nicholas Aldridge & Martha Besson: William Aldridge, son of Nicholas Aldridge and Martha Besson, married Elizabeth Symons on 3 July 1726, in Maryland. It is believed that William was the father of Sylvania Aldridge (who married Seymore York Sr.), and the grandfather of Jeremiah York. Seymore York Sr. died 8 February 1783 and is buried in the Sandy Creek Baptist Church Cemetery in Randolph County, North Carolina; his will names “Salvania” and Semore (Jr.), “my wife and my son” as executors. It was this Jeremiah York, the son of Seymore and Sylvania, who purchased 144 acres on Mount Pleasant Creek from Thomas Aldred on 10 April 1788, and who married Sarah Alred, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Allred.[12]
