Note: Records show that Susan Boswell (widow) married Clement Aldridge in 1626 and that Susan Crompton married Edmond Boswell in 1612. Therefore, her maiden name is assumed to be Crompton. As such, parents Christopher Boswell and his wife Margery Lambert were detached from her profile. ~Liz Shifflett, August 26, 2015

Biography

Susan Crompton married (1) Edmond Boswell in 1612 and (2) Clement Aldridge in 1626.^[1]

Worstead Parish Register, Norfolk, England. Record of the 1626 marriage of Clement Aldrich and Susan Boswell, widow. Performed by Rev. Henry Aldred, vicar of Worstead.^[2][3]

Immigration

"Clement Aldrich/Aldridge and Susan [Boswell, née Crompton] were apparently immigrants to Northumberland Co, Virginia. However, I have not yet found any record of their immigration in the form of ship lists or of patents given for their transport." ~ Pam Wilson (#Clement)

Susan's husband Clement Aldridge (b 1601) died about 1668 in Northumberland County.^[4]

Son (Clement) of Clement and Susan m Elizabeth Tills/Tilles in England and died January 19, 1698/99 in Northumberland County, Virginia.

"Clement and Elizabeth were immigrants to Virginia. His parents, Clement and Susan, may have preceded them. Sekanick speculates that, since Clement (Sr) died in 1668, Clement (Jr) may have come to America to claim an inheritance. A Clement Aldridge first appears in records of Northumberland Co, VA in 1666. However, Clement and Elizabeth's two children were christened in Worstead, Norfolk, England, in 1669 and 1670." ... "There is also confusion in the Northumberland Co, VA records about *which* Clement was involved in certain transactions, since there were several generations of Clement Aldridge/Arledges."^[4]

   "In her second letter, she is discussing Susan BOSWELL who married Clement ALDRED/ALDRIDGE 2 Jul 1626. She states that after Susan Boswell's name in the marriage record to Clement, it definitely states "widow." On 24 June 1612, an Edmond BOSWELL married Susan CROMPTON. If that is the case and this is confirmed, the maiden name of Clement ALDRIDGE's wife would be CROMPTON instead of Boswell."
