   Notes   

  

  

 

  Individual:

 

George Aldrich was a tailor, and it is concluded that it was by this trade he gained subsistence, for with but one acre of land at Dorchester and only eight at Braintree, it would appear that he was paying but little attention to agriculture. It is also found that of sons, John and Peter, thus leaving him with but thirteen and one-third acres in his home lot. As he was about 60 years of age when coming to Mendon it is doubtful about his ever engaging much in farming here. The authorities who had the matter in charge, fixed for the rule of settling the new township of Mendon, that those who had been accepted as worthy to become members of the seemingly select company should reach the new territory before the seventh month, 1665, and, Ferdinando Thayer and George Aldrich were among the first to comply with this requirement."

"At Mendon George Aldrich had a houselot set off to him a little southerly of the present Mendon village, which lot today comprises the southerly portion of the Gilbert Gaskill farm; and the house where George Aldrich lived, and some three or four generations after him, must have stood, in the vicinity of the Gilbert Gaskill vegetable garden, opposite the Gaskill house." "Until 1786 the homestead of George Aldrich was in the hands of his descendants. At this time Rev. Caleb Alexander, the sixth settled minister of Mendon, bought the ancient Aldrich homestead, together with the John Harber houselot, (which sometime previous had come Into possession of Stephen Aldrich, a great grandson of the first George) the above-mentioned Gaskill house being situated on the John Harber houselot."

"George Aldrich had eleven children, all of whom were born before his coming to Mendon, his youngest, son, Jacob, being seven years old at that time. George died In Mendon "arch 1, 1682 and his wife Katherine Jan. II, 1692. His first child., Abel, was probably born In England, and. as I find no trace of him or his birth date, it is concluded that he died there. Joseph, his second child, married Patience Osborne and came to Mendon with his father, he also becoming a proprietor. Joseph's house lot of 20 acres comprised the northerly portion of the N. R. George farm, extending across the road and taking in the southerly portion of the present home place of Julius A. George. The house of Joseph Aldrich stood in the vicinity of where our former village blacksmith, the late John Barry, lived and died. Joseph Aldrich stayed in Mendon until about the time of his father's death in 1682 when he removed to what is now Smithfield, Rhode Island, in which state many of his descendants are still found, including the Hon. Nelson W. Aldrich, the financial leader of the United States Senate, whose daughter married John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Joseph Aldrich was of the Quaker faith and tradition has It that on this account his house was spared at the burning of the town in 1676 by King Philip's warriors. The next three of George Aldrich's children all died young. John, the sixth child, married Sarah Thompson, daughter of John and Sarah Thompson of Mendon. He had a third part of his father's houselot and may properly be termed a proprietor. His lot of 15 1/3 acres comprised the southerly portion of the said N. R. George farm and his house is supposed to have been In the vicinity of where the Nathan George "yellow house" so called, formerly stood, In front of the town's burying ground. John Aldrich removed from Mendon to Bridgewater about the time of the King Philip war, where he is supposed to have lived until his death. "

"Peter, the eighth child, has not been positively traced but he is believed to have removed to Long Island and become the progenitor of the Aldrich branch who for many generations have existed there. Mercy, the ninth child, married John Randall, a son of Robert Randall of Weymouth, and as the births of some of their children are recorded in Mendon, it is evident that they lived here for a while at least. It is found, however, that they subsequently removed to Weymouth and spent their days on his father Robert's farm. Martha, the eleventh child of George Aldrich, married John Dunbar, and while they had a son born in Mendon, I have gained no further knowledge of them worthy of mention."

"I will now go back to the tenth child, Jacob, who married Ferdinando Thayer's daughter Huldah, and from here on the title of my paper, "The Thayer-Aldrich Tribe" applies. Jacob Aldrich and Huldah Thayer were married November 5, 1675 and in the main it will be upon their descendants that the remainder of  this paper will treat. Jacob settled in Mendon on the Aldrich homestead which was bequeathed to him by his father, and while I do not wish to speak disparagingly of my own side of the house, I feel forced to admit that of the innumerable descendants of Jacob Aldrich and Huldah Thayer the Thayer blood has predominated. They had a family of twelve children, the most of whom grew to adult age. To six of their sons sixty-five children were born, and with eighteen children born to their daughters, eighty-three grand children are credited to Jacob Aldrich and Huldah Thayer."

Mystery!

WHERE IS GEORGE BURIED?

Written for " Pickering Pitchforks" May-1994 by Alice Pickering Paladini

"There is a huge unmarked boulder, in The Old Cemetery in Mendon, Ma. and many throughout the years have written George1 is buried under this boulder.. The reasoning being that George's land abutted the Old Cemetery and it was the natural location to inter his remains. Also other Aldrich's are buried near that site. However, in Uxbridge, Ma., (once part of Mendon, ) on the corner of Glendale Rd. & Aldrich St. is an old Cook/Aldrich Historic Cemetery." "At the entrance of this cemetery stands a Memorial stone & large plaque that was erected by descendants of the first George and Jacob2, and this plaque reads, " Buried Here ----------" George Aldrich, Jacob Aldrich, Seth Aldrich, Samuel Aldrich, lyman Aldrich, Sylvanus Bucklin Aldrich, Edward Irving Aldrich and that this Burying Ground was restored by Richard Stoddard Aldrich 1955; 8th in direct line of George Aldrich."

 "The question is, did the family of George drive 10 miles in 1683 to bury George in Uxbridge (then also Mendon) or did they go less than a half mile and inter his remains in the Old Cemetery, that abutted his land????" "This question will probably never be answered in our life time nor any other... I believe the Uxbridge Memorial plaque to be just that; a Memorial Plaque to George1 & Jacob2 erected by his descendant and his remains are probably under the boulder in the Old Cemetery in Mendon.. "

 

FAMILY OF: ALDRIDGE

 

ARMS: Vert, on a fesse between three garbs or, banded gules, two branches of olive in saltire encircled by a ducal coronet of gold, between two robins proper, a bordure engrailed eriinois charged with eight torteaux.

CREST: An arm couped below the elbow, vested arc, charged with a bezant, the hand holding a quill argent.

 MOTTO: Dirige

 AUTHORITY: Burke's "Landed Gentry", 1898 edition, page 11.

 TINCTURES: The shield is of green.

The fesse is of gold. The garbs (wheatsheaves) are of gold, tied with bands of red. The olive branches are of green, crown of gold (ducal coronet). The robins are natural. The bordure is of erminois (gold charged with black ermine spots). The torteaux are of red. The hand is natural, sleeve blue, bezant on sleeve of gold, quill silver. The wreath, under the crest, is of alternate twists of gold and green. The helmet is of steel color or silver. The mantle is of green lined with gold. The ribbon is of gold, motto lettered in black.

 NOTES: This family was of Uxbridge, in Middlesex, in England, later of St Leonard's Forest, in Sussex, in England. "The Forest" was originally Royal Property, granted to the Powletts, and inherited by the Aldridges about the year 1750. One variation of the arms exists in which the crest is a phoenix rising from flames.

 George Aldrich

George Aldrich was born at Derbyshire, England, in about 1605. He is said to be the son of George Aldrich and Joan Thurgood. He married Katherine Seald September 3, 1629, in Derbyshire. She was born in about 1610. They came to America in November 1631 probably on the ship Lyon, first settling in Dorchester, Mass. On February 24, 1640, he was granted a 20-acre parcel of land in Mt. Wollaston, which became Braintree that same year. In 1663 they came to the region which was incorporated four years later as Mendon. George and his family were among the seven proprietor families of Mendon. The family may have moved to Swansea for a few years, returning to Mendon by 1680. George Aldrich was a tailor. He died March 1, 1683 and his wife Katherine died January 11, 1691, both in Mendon.  

A tablet in Founders' Park in Mendon lists George Aldrich among the proprietors. [1]

 

George and Katherine (Seald) Aldrich Dorchester > Braintree > Mendon, Mass

Biography from: Genealogical and Personal Memoirs of Worchester County, vol 2, Pp 40-1 "ALDRICH FAMILY. George Aldrich (1), was the immigrant ancestor of the  Aldrich family of Mendon and Uxbridge.

7 John Youngs Aldrich 1810 - 1874 > Apparently came back to LI fr Penn

.. +Eleanor Wells 1810 - 1862

Mary & Rachel Aldrich > Zerubabel & Richard Hallock

 

I'd like to float a theory that two daughters named in the will of Jacob Aldrich in 1806, Mary & Rachel, with no last names, were, respectively, the wives of brothers Zerubabel & Richard Hallock, b 1744 and 1746:

1) Salmon Records has a marriage record for Zerubabel Hallock and Mary Aldrich, Nov 05, 1767. This Mary Aldrich has apparently gone unnoticed, or unaccounted for, heretofore in the compiled Aldrich Genealogies.

 2) The Hallock Genealogy reports that Richard Hallock's wife's name was Rachel (__), birth year estimated 1747 (presumably from headstone). Mary Aldrich's birthdate also estimated 1747. Jacob Aldrich married Mary Sandiforth, Aug 19, 1747, in Mattituck, Long Island.

 3) All four of these people buried Mattituck Parish Burying ground.

 4) Zerubabel had son named Jacob Hallock. Richard had a grandson named Jacob Hallock.

 There is no doubt these families were neighbors and knew each other. The names, dates and places all work. All we need is a "smoking gun" piece to evidence to put it all together.

 

Other extraneous notes:

 

** One of Zerubabel's grandchildren, David Hallock, married Harriet Aldrich, son of Jacob and Jemima Cleaves. If Zerubabel's wife, Mary Aldrich, was the daughter of Jacob and Mary Sandiforth, these kids would be first cousins.  

** There are other miscelleanous cousin marriages downstream..

 Additional info welcome... otherwise.. hope someone can add the "smoking

gun".... to confirm or refute...

 President Gerald Ford and his vice-president: Nelson Alrich Rockefeller were cousins via our common Comstock line. There is lots of biographical material on Nelson on the web which you can find via a search engine.

FIRST GENERATION

>From the notes of Marcus M. Aldrich and other sources we derive the following: In the words of the printed record. George Aldrich said - "God brought me to America from Derbyshire, England, 6 November in the year 1631." These undoubtedly are the words of George Aldrich the reputed progenitor of the Aldriched living in America, formed in his own mind, inscribed with his own hand, verified in in his own experience. 

Boston Evening Transcript, Query No. 2480, 1932

George Aldrich, born in Derbyshire, England was the son of George Aldrich of London, Eng. tableted in Cheam Church "Descendant of William Aldrich of Norfolk who married Mary, daughter of Isabella of France and Edward II of England." (Isabella was a daughter of Philip IV of France and sister of Charles IV. George Aldrich came to New England in 1631, 1644 lived in Braintree. His will dated at Mendon, Mass., 2 Nov., 1682 and proved 26 Apr., 1638.)

The location of the entire publication is not known at this time. However, the pages concerning George and his decendants have been photocopied and are in the collection of papers held by Malcolm Clever Sr.[Aldrich.ftw]

 

George Aldrich was a tailor, and it is concluded that it was by this trade he gained subsistence, for with but one acre of land at Dorchester and only eight at Braintree, it would appear that he was paying but little attention to agriculture. It is also found that of sons, John and Peter, thus leaving him with but thirteen and one-third acres in his home lot. As he was about 60 years of age when coming to Mendon it is doubtful about his ever engaging much in farming here.

        73              ix.               Granville Ellison, born 1848 in Potsdam, St. Lawrence County, New York.

        74               x.               Laura Ellison, born Abt. 1849 in Potsdam, St. Lawrence County, New York; died in Rush County, Kansas.  She married Rolla Adelbert Burnham; born 1846 in West Potsdam, New York; died in Chandler, Lincoln County, Oklahoma.

 

Notes for Rolla Adelbert Burnham:

Several months ago, you posted a message on the Burnham GenForum page, indicating that your ancestor Collin Abel Burnham went from West Potsdam, NY, to Muscatine, IA, right after the Civil War.

 

My ancestor Rolla Adelbert Burnham (born May 1846 in Potsdam, NY and son of Sylvanus Burnham, Jr.) and his brother James Douglas Burnham (b. 1843) also went to Iowa at some point shortly after the Civil War.  (Whether the brothers went together, or one followed the other, I don't know; and whether they went with their parents, or whether the parents followed them, I also do not know.)  And whether they first went through Muscatine, IA and had a common connection there, I do not know.

 

James Douglas Burnham was in Vinton, Benton Co., IA, at least by 1868, because on Aug. 13, 1868, he married May America Frye in Vinton.  I also have a picture of my ancestor Rolla Burnham and his first wife, Laura Ellison, taken in Vinton, IA, around the same time-perhaps at the same time as James' wedding, or perhaps 2 or three years later at the most.  Laura Ellison had a brother, E. O. Ellison, who was a photographer in a town not very far away-Traer, IA-and I had also previously considered the possibility that Rolla Burnham married Laura Ellison, then they went west from NY to where here brother was living.  I am of the impression that the Ellisons were originally from New York, not Iowa, because an Ellison nephew (by marriage) of my ancestor Rolla sent him a picture from New York much later, in 1914.  But whether Rolla Burnham married Laura Ellison in NY or IA, I have not established. 

 

Just today I found a census record in Story County, Iowa, for 1870.  To my surprise, it shows Rolla Burnham (age 24) living with his parents in Story County, IA.  I thought he was probably married before this date, and I had assumed that his parents remained in Potsdam, New York; however, neither of these assumptions is apparently true.

 

At the 1870 census, Story County, Washington Township, Iowa, at page 164, I have the following:

 

Burnham, S[ylvanus, Jr.], 56 [should be 50?], farmer, born Mass [correct].

Elvira, 50 [should be 48?], born NY

Rolla A., 24, born NY, "works on farm"

Fanny, 8, born NY, at home. [I wasn't previously aware of her.]

 

This Sylvanus, Jr. and Elvira would be the aunt and uncle of your Collin Abel Burnham, and Rolla and James would be his first cousins.  I assume, being that closely connected, they were all aware of each others' presence in Iowa, which may somehow have been connected??

James and family went from Iowa to Kansas in 1870, and homesteaded in Rush County, KS, in 1877.  James died in 1880, leaving 6 young kids.  His widow raised them, living another 50 years on the homestead.

Rolla's first wife, Laura, died.  At least by 1888 he, too, was in Rush County, KS, and married his second wife, Belle Craig; and after having 3 children in Kansas, they went to Lincoln County, Oklahoma, to homestead, in about 1895, and had another 7 children.  Both Rolla and his wife Belle are buried in Chandler, Lincoln County, Oklahoma.

If there is any information that we can share with each other, I would appreciate it-either about the family when they were living in NY, or about how my ancestor got to Kansas from Iowa-how long and where he stayed in Iowa, and whether he went to Iowa after first stopping for several years in Nebraska, etc.  I haven't filled it in between 1870 and 1888. 

Thanks.
