William Baldridge was born in 1689 in Province of Ulster, Ireland.¹

All of the information regarding William Baldridge that can be found on-line appears to have come from the 1895 book by Egle (see attached). This information is, for the most part, second-hand from descendants and suspect because of the forgery of documents relating to the "Holmes legacy of two hundred thousand pounds." See the attached material on the scam started in the 1800s. The accuracy of the birth, baptismal and marriage records is questionable.^2,1

William married Janette Holmes, daughter of James Holmes and Margaret Jennings, 16 June 1714 in Ireland.¹

William left a will 9 January 1767 in Lancaster Co, Province of Pennsylvania.³

In the part of the will dated 9 January 1767:
"I Ordain and my daughter Elizabeth Fifty Pound onely the prise of her [Inear?] is to be taken out of the Fifty Pound"

"I ordain and alow my Son John Poston five Pound."

"I ordain and alow my former Son Matthew Atchison Seven Shillings and Six pence."

In the part of the will dated 18 April 1768 [codicil]:
"N:B I do Ordain £5 for y^e use of John Atchison Son to Mathew Atchison Afore mentioned upon this proviso y^t he makes no Charge for his Wifes Cloaths which he returned & Also y^t he educates s^d Boy so as to fit him for College but upon his making a Charge for s^d Cloaths or omitting y^e Education of y^e Boy he is only to have y^e Sum before Specifyed Viz One Dollar
Witness present, Wm Foster, Mabel Baldrige
April y^e 18, 1768 then received in full the within Legacy left to us in this will
Witness present Mathew Atchison, Anne Atchison John Brownlee Elizabeth Brownlee"

The wording of the will indicates that one of William's daughters (Janette. based on other researchers work) married Matthew Atchison but that she had died; hence, the "former" son terminology. In April of 1768, Matthew and his second wife Anne acknowledge the receipt of the monies, as do William's daughter Elizabeth and her husband John Brownlee. Since John Poston is not referred to as "former" then his wife, Margaret Baldridge, is still living as of 9 January 1767. By April 1768 they had not acknowledged receiving the monies indicated in the earlier will.³
