Biography
Samuel Baldridge was born in 1776. He was an early settler in the County of Adams, Territory of the United States Northwest of the River Ohio that became Adams County, Ohio in 1803. A historical and biographical source for Adams County, Ohio indicates Samuel was residing in or near Killinstown in Adams County in December of 1800 when he signed a petition for a new connecting road. This road was to be run near Killinstown from an existing road, which ran from the Adams County seat of Manchester to Chillicothe, thereby connecting Killinstown to Marietta in Washington County, Ohio.
From A History of Adams County, Ohio
"At a Court of General Quarter Session of the Peace, at Washington, in and for the County of Adams, Territory of the United States northwest of the river Ohio... petition for a road to be laid out from Washington to intersect the road from Manchester to Chillicothe, at or near Killinstown, was filed at this term subscribed by the following petitioners: John Brown. John Brown, Jr., Simon Shoemaker, Peter Shoemaker, Thomas Grimes, Laz'l Swim, James Collins, Jesse Witherington, Stephen Bayless, Patrick Killin, Joseph Eyler, William Boldridge, Samuel Boldridge, Ben Piatt, John Boldridge, James Allison, Davison C. Clary, Thomas Mason, Job Denning, John Killin. Henry Smith, James Miller, Alex. Barber, Thomas Brown, Laid Furguson."
Samuel was of Adams County on 9 June 1802 when he was recorded in an Indenture buying 4 plus acres in Killinstown from John Killen on the waters of Brush Creek.[1]
Samuel was married in 1802 to Mary McGarry. He was listed on the roll of Capt. Thomas Lewis' Company of men enlisted from Adams County during the War of 1812. It appears his widow Mary claimed Bounty Land for his service after his death.
He passed away in 1845. [2] Find A Grave: Memorial #142430151 His widow Mary survived him, dying in 1865.

NAFH show Samuel Baldridge m. Mary McGarrah, FS show Samuel NBaldridge s. of William and Betsy Wilson, BFG indicates that William married Betsy Wilson. This would indicate that the wife of James Baldridge was not the Elizabeth wilson above especially if she was born in 1815 as Samuel was born in 1776 from two other sources. The only issue is the BFG does not mention the son Samuel of William and Betsy Wilson. It only says they had a son named John. BFG indicates that James was the sone of John Baldridge and Rebecca Clark not the son Of James Clark.
