    Angie,
    [I tried sending this earlier but it was returned to me. I don’t know if it got through to anyone, so am resending it to you.]
    Thank you for sending all of this information. Coincidentally, after you sent some things last week, I went on the web to see if I could substantiate any of what John (Owen) Sullivan had stated for his parentage. I found the following sites (which you may already know about) that give a wonderful history, background, and confirmation of John’s line:

    Muskerry, Donogh, was afterwards Earl of Clancarthy, and died in 1666. The father of Phillip, Daniel, is said to have married Margaret, daughter of the Earl of Clancarthy, who died in 1640, and who married Margaret, daughter of Donogh, 4th Earl of Thomond. The father of this Daniel is described in the letter as of Ardea Castle, and is therein said to have married a daughter of the Earl of Thomond. Two persons named Sarah O’Brien, of that family, according to Lodge, married in the sixteenth century O’Sullivans Beare. One, a granddaughter of the first Earl of Thomond, married as before stated, Donnel, 13th Lord of Bearehaven; the other a daughter of Viscount Clare of the same family, may have married said Donnel’s brother, Sir Phillip, of Ardea, but more likely one of his sons. The above statement stands the test of comparison of dates, and the aged gentleman on whose information we rely was no doubt substantially correct.
    
    What part the family of Ardea took in the Catholic War or subsequent strife under Cromwell in defence of their property and religious rights, does not appear. O’Sullivan More lost a large portion of his territiories in the latter period. In 1653, he was in Paris with O’Sullivan Beare from Spain, making preparation for a descent on Munster, as mentioned above, with money furnished through the French King. From 1660, when Charles II was restored, all branches of the race enjoyed a brief respite of quiet and prosperity, but taking part with James the II against William of Orange, they were proscribed and banished. Major Phillip was with the garrison of Limerick, that, after a stubborn resistance, surrendered in 1691.
    
    By the terms of surrender, such of the Catholics as were unwilling to abandon their religion and take unconditional oaths of allegiance to the English government, were to be furnished with transportation to France; and amongst those who preferred poverty and exile to this humiliation, was Major Phillip. He had married Joanna, daughter of Dermod McCarthy More, descended from the Earl of Clancarre who died in 1596, by Ellen daughter of McCarthy Reagh and Elinor, daughter of Lord Muskerry, who thus untied in her person the three principal branches of McCarthy More, Reagh, and Muskerry. Their property was confiscated, and they were reduced to poverty. The date of his death from the wound received in a duel in France, as mentioned by his son, is not known. He appears to have left two sons besides the subject of this notice, who was born on the seventeenth of June 1690, at Ardea, in the county of Kerry.
    
    Little is known of his education. From its extent and thoroughness it was probably at some one of the seminaries on the continent, where his family in their prosperity had endowed, as was customary in those days, scholarships for the benefit of its members. He returned to Ireland to find even the terms of the surrender disregarded, and entered upon life under many discouragements. His original destination was for the priesthood, but this appears to have been early abandoned. Different traditions have been handed down with regard to his coming to America, but that which connects him with the effort to restore the Stuarts after the death of Queen Ann would seem the
    
    Note: Clancarthy. Donogh, his son, the third Earl, married Elizabeth Spencer, daughter of the Earl of Sunderland, and becoming involved in the ruin of the Stuarts, was forced into exile and lived on the Continent.

    22528. Reverend Henry Aldred
    
    Submitted by: Sharon Allred Jessop 01/21/1999
    The Allred (Aldridge) Family of England and North Carolina
    
    The origin of this surname traces back to ancient Anglo-Saxon times. It is said to be a compound of the Anglo-Saxon "ald" or eald" meaning old and "rad" or "red" signifying wise counsel. In the old Gothic language, it appeared a ALDRED and in English as ELDRED or ALDRED.1
    
    Another author terms ALDRED and ALDRIDGE as "undoubted survivors of Anglo-Saxon compounds" AETHELRAED or EALDRAED.2
    
    A third explanation given is that the name had the signification of "all-dread" or "all-fear," since "All" and "Ael" in Old English and Saxon mean the same as the English"All," and "dred" is equivalent to our modern dread or fear. This author then lists these equivalents:
    
    "ALDRED (Sax) All-fear
    "Aldridge (Sax.) The same as Aldred, of which it is a corruption."3
    
    The interchangeable character of the surnames ALDRED and ALDRIDGE and of ELDRED and ELDRIDGE is shown in the history of the New England branches of these families. In the vital records of Dedham, Mass., one of the early settlers is recorded as HENRY ALDRIDGE or ALDRIDG. He is also called ALDRIDGE in the town records. In four entries of the church records he is called ALLRED in three of them; in the fourth (his burial) he is called HENERY ALLDRIDGE.4
    
    
    1. Surnames As a Science, by Robert Ferguson, George Routledge and Sons, London, 1883, p. 41.
    2. The Romance of Surnames, by Ernest Weekly, E. P. Dutton & Co., 1914, p. 72.
    3. Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names, by William Arthur Sheldon, Blakeman & Co., New York, 1857, p. 50.
    4. Dedham Vital Records, First Church Records.
    
    Similarity WILLIAM ELDRED became a resident of Yarmouth ,Mass. In the second and third generation the surname of his descendants changed from ELDRED to ELDREDG, ELDREDGE, and ELDRIDGE, and so has continued to the present.5
    
    SAMUEL ELDRED, of Cambridge, Mass., and Stonington, Conn., is believed to have been the brother of William of Yarmouth. Samuel came from Lavenham, Suffolk, England, according to Col. Edward Banks` Topographical Dictionary of English Emigrants to New England, page 157.
    
    HENRY ALDRED OR ALDRIDGE of Dedham, Mass., was from Brampton, Suffolk, being of THOMAS ALDRED (called THOMAS ALDERED at marriage, May 3, 1624), who married Mary Chickeringe. She was the daughter of Henry Chickeringe of Rinesfeild, Suffolk. In his will dated July 11, 1626, the latter mentions his "daughter Mary, now wife of Thomas Aldred of Brampton."
    
    It is reasonable, therefore, to look to Suffolk and the adjoining county of Norfolk, England, for the origin of the Aldred-Eldred family. This area was in all probability the original home of the Aldreds. Evidences at hand probe that persons bearing this surname in its varied forms of spelling were living in this general locality from the time when surnames first came into general use.
    
    THE ALDRED-ALDRICH-ALDRIDGE FAMILY OF WORSTEAD, NORFOLK, ENGLAND, NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY, VIRGINIA, RANDOLPH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA.
    
    The first of this family recorded as living at Worstead, Norfolk, England, was the Rev. HENRY ALDRED, who was Vicar there in the year 1553.
    
    Blomefield, in his monumental History of Norfolk, Vol. 5, pp. 1455-14565, says the town of Worstead is situated in a flat country. Worstead stuffs have said to have taken their name from this town, from being first manufactured there. The church is dedicated to St. Mary. He speaks of the priory of Bromholm, and of its dissolution on May 26, 6th year of Edward VI (1553), adding:
    
    "On the dissolution of the priory, the manor belonging to it, with the rectory, and the patronage of the vicarage, were granted to the dean and chapter of Norwich; and the vicarage is valued at 10 lb. Per anom. --Mr. HENRY ALDRED vicar." (P.1456)
    
    Henry Aldred may have been father of the Rev. HENRY ALDRED, who was Vicar and Curate, at Marsham, Norfolk, and also at Worstead, villages about six miles apart. These entries relate to him:
    
    5 Yarmouth Vital Records.
    
    "Henry Aldred, Clerke then Curate here, and Margrett Browne were married 4 day of June 1599." (Marsham P.R., p. 31).
    
    "Henry Aldred, Vicar of Worsteds, resigned 1603, then became Vicar of Rushall, presented by sir Edward Clere." (Henry W. Aldred: Suffolk Records, p. 54)
    
    In the Worstead Parish Registers appear several entries relating to him.
    
    BAPTISMS:
    1609 10 March: John s. Henry Aldred.
    
    BURIALS:
    1610 25 April: Margaret w. Henry Aldred, vicar of Worstead.

    Probable children of Rev. Henry Aldred, Sr.:
    I. JOHN ALDRICH, b. ca. 1558, of Worstead, Norfolk, England, m. There, 2/9/1583-4, AGNES ROLFE or Roffe.

    JOHN ALDRICH, probably son of the elder Rev. Henry Aldred of Worstead, was b. Ca. 1558. He m. At Worstead, 2/9/1583-4, AGNES ROLFE or ROFFE. (Another reading of this surname in the register gives it as ROSSE,) It would appear that John Aldrich or Aldridge had traveled, and his wife Anne (Agnes and Anne were often used interchangeably), thinking him dead, remarried EDMUND BOUTMAN, 2/2/1596. The record of Bishop Redman's Visitation of the Diocese of Norwich, 1597, under Worstead, contains this presentment:
    "ANN ALDRIGE. For having two husbands living."1

    1673 12 May Samuel Pycroft and Alice Aldered (sister of Clement).
    
    BURIALS
    1668 1 Sept. Alice W. Clement Aldridge.
    In the year 1668, the name of Clement Aldridge first appears on the records of Northumberland Co., Va.
    " 7 Apr. 1668 Whereas it appears to this Co(t) y(t)
    Mr. Rich: Haskins CLEMENT ALDRIDGE stands indebted to Rich: Haskins In ye sums of six hundred eighty one pounds of Tobacco and Cask it is ordered that ye ad CLEMT ALDRIDGE forthwith pay ye ad sume unto ye ad Mr. Haskins." (Northumberland Co. Order Book, 3:35.)
    Clement Aldridge and his wife Elizabeth became settlers in what was then known as Bowtracy and Fairfield parishes, embracing the section of Northumberland Co. North of the Great Wicocomico River (later shortened to Wicomico). In 1698, these two parishes were united to form the parish of St. Stephen's parish has been preserved and is now at the State Library at Richmond, Va.. It is in a mutilated condition, the edges of some of the first pages In the volume being worn and wasted away at the edges. Yet the facts contained therein are priceless, imperfect though they be.
    On page 3 are recorded these entries of the children of Clement Aldredge:
    "....ent Aldridge Son to Clement was Borne Sep.................
    ..........d Aldredge Daughter to do as borne Mar....................
    .........ce Aldridge Daughter to Do was borne Oct...................
    ..........m Aldredge Son to Do was Borne Feb...................
    ........aac Aldredge Son to Do was borne S.....................
    .........ohn Aldredge Son to Do was borne Feb...............
    
    Since Clement Aldridge, Jr., was a witness in Court in 1691, it is presumable that these children were born between the years 1672 and 1682. William Aldridge was an adult in 1700. The other sons were evidently Isaac and John; one of the daughters was either Alice or Grace; the other may possibly have been Winifred. The next entry in the register in point of date and alphabetical sequence is in the year 1696 on page 4. Intervening year dates are missing. (Northumberland Co. Births and Deaths, 1650-1810, p.3)
    
    On 2 Apr. 1677, CLEMT ARLIDGE witnessed a will. ON 17 Apr. 1678, CLEMENT ALDRIDGE was party to a suit for debt. He was a carpenter or joiner by trade and had an apprentice bound to him 21 Aug. 1678. CLEMENT ALDRIGE was a tithable of Bowtracy parish 7 June 1679. On 19 Nov. 1679, CLEMENT ALDRIDGE was paid for mending Bowtracy Church. He appears in various court entries in 1684 and 1688. On 22 June 1693, "William Beane was arrested at the suit of CLEMENT ALDRIDGE & ELIZABETH his wife." The final entry regarding him is recorded thus:
    "Aldridge's "Upon the mocon of ELIZABETH ALDRIDGE execrx a Probate is granted
    Will proved Her of the Last Will and Testament of CLEMENT ALDRIDGE deced.
    19 Jan. 1698- the said Will being proved by the oaths of David Straughan & MARY TULLES
    1699." Witnesses to the said Will and the same is admitted to Record. (Northumberland
    Co. Order Book 5:3)"
    
    Unfortunately this will is missing, being destroyed in a fire at the Courthouse a short time later.
    It would have been, undoubtedly, of great aid.

    WILLIAM ALLRIDGE or ARLEDGE, son of Clement Aldridge and Elizabeth Tills, was born in February, about the year 1678, in Northumberland Co., Va.. The day and year of his birth record are obliterated from the old St. Stephen's Parish Register, now preserved In the Virginia State Library, Richmond, Va.. The birth of one son is recorded in this same register to William: "...n sone to Wm Aldredge was born May 16, 170...." (P.3)
    
    This was evidently the son John who was under 21 in 1724, as mentioned in his father's will/
    William's name appears frequently in the court records, his surname being spelled ALDRIDGE and ALDREDGE, BUT MOST FREQUENTLY ARLEDGE.

    The following record of the division of her estate may indicate which of the children mentioned in the will of William were her own children, and which those of the first wife ALICE.

    JOHN ALDRIDGE OR ALDRED OR ALRED, son of William Aldridge or Arledge and probably his first wife ALICE , WAS BORN 5/16/170 (PROBABLY ABOUT 17060, in Wicomico Parish, Northumberland Co., Va.. He was under twenty when his father made his will. This would fix his year of birth definitely between the years 1705 and 1709.
    
    In May 1740, CLEMENT ARLEDGE obtained an attachment against the Estate of JOHN ARLEDGE for nine hundred pounds of tobacco.

Among those signing this testimonial were these: Semore York, Jeremiah York, TIDENCE LANE, JOHN LANCE, JOHN ALREAD, Shubal Stearnes. (Colonial records of North Carolina (25-26)
    
    Randolph County was formed from Orange County and Rowan County, (Guilford Co. from Orange and Rowan, 1771; Randolph Co. From Guilford, 1779), and this included the Sandy Creek Settlement. It is probable that JOHN died before 1779, but the date of his death is uncertain.

He had moved with his parents to what was then Orange County, but is ow Randolph co., N.C., prior to 1755, when he first appears upon the records there. By this date he was married and probably had one child.
