      George Aldrich

      Birth: 1605 Walton-on-Trent, South Derbyshire District, Derbyshire, England
      Death: 1 Mar 1683 (aged 77–78) Mendon, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA
      Burial: George Aldrich Cemetery, Uxbridge, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA
      Memorial #: 149400448
      Bio:
      md. Derbyshire, England, 3 Sep. 1629, Katherine Seald

      He arrived in New England 6 Nov. 1631 and settled initially at Dorchester, and then c. 1640 removed to Braintree before finally settling at Mendon c. 1663. They were among the first seven settlers there.

      He was a tailor by trade and the ancestor of nearly all New England Aldridge lines.

      Children:

      1. Joseph b. 1635 d. 1701
      2. Mary b. Dorchester, 16 Jun. 1637
      3. Miriam b. 20 Jun. 1639
      4. Experience b. 4 Sep. 1641
      5. John b. 2 Apr. 1644
      6. *Sarah b. 16 Jan. 1645-6 md. John Bartlett
      7. Peter b. 14 Apr. 1648
      8. Mercy b. 17 Apr. 1650
      9. Miriam b. 10 Jun. 1651
      10. *Jacob b. 28 Feb. 1652-3
      11. Martha b. 7 Jul. 1656

      George Aldrich has a cenotaph in The Old Mendon Cemetery, there has historically been an argument made that he is interred in Mendon. This is not the case as both he and wife Katherine have existing 17th Century Headstones in The George Aldrich Cemetery, Uxbridge. You may view the memorial created from the cenotaph in Old Mendon Cemetery here.
      _________________________________________
      *direct ancestors to my sons, two lines to Jacob (one through son Seth and the other through son Jacob) & one line through Sarah (Aldrich) Bartlet.

      Inscription: GEORGE ALDRICH, one of the original proprietors of Mendon in 1663, founder of The Aldrich Family in America, Died 1682 and buried here.
