General Notes: Husband - John Baldrige

---

The name of Baldrige is one well known in Ireland for many generations. Four brothers by this name emigrated from the north of Ireland, and for a time lived in the eastern part of Penn­sylvania. They were: John, Joseph, William and Samuel. Of these, John Baldrige became the owner of a large farm in Westmoreland County, Penn­sylvania, a distillery and a flour mill, all located about two miles from Latrobe. William also settled on a large farm in Westmoreland County, and became prosperous; Samuel re­mained in eastern Pennsylvania, but also became well-to-do. They made their way to the western part of the state in Conestoga wagons, all had ad­joining farms, and married three sisters.[GPHWP, 731]

Another source puts the immigration from Ireland in an earlier generation.
