General Notes: Husband - Joseph 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.
In addition to clearing and cultivating the large farm which he had taken up in Westmoreland County, in the earlier days he was engaged in hauling goods on the National Pike between Philadelphia and Baltimore and Pittsburgh. He and his brothers were ardent Presbyterians and worked actively in building up that denomination in their day.
