    Notes:

    William Baldridge married Janette Holmes in Chapel of St. Andrews Cathedral in County Tyrone Ireland, and very likely made their living in or around the City of Coleraine as "yeomen", a class of small, independent, freeholding farmers. Janette was Christened July 2 1694 in Belfast Antrim Ireland. The entire family, except for eldest son John, emigrated to America on board "The Queen Margaret" in 1730. They landed in Philadelphia, and settled in Lancaster P.A. William and Janette (Holmes) Baldridge lived the remainder of their lives as farmers/weavers on land they colonized just north of the present-day Mason-Dixon Line, between Octoraro Creek and the eastern bank of the Susquehanna River. It is believed they were members of the Muddy Run Society, a Little Britain Congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Lancaster County, where they are very likely buried, although there are no known tombstones there bearing their names. William Baldrige died in Little Britain Township, and his Last Will and Testament dated 9 January 1767 was probated on 14 January 1773 and recorded in Will Book "C", Volume 1. Page 124, Official Records of Lancaster County. Janette died there between 1767 and 1773, purportedly on 28 July 1768.
