General Notes (Wife)

Elizabeth White Aldridge and these last two Aldridge children moved to Tipton Co., Tenn prior to the 1830 census. Some of her Garland family were already there. Attelia Ann was already married to Samuel Holliday. The Holliday family was a prominent Greene Co., NC family. On Sept 28, 1828 Drewry, Jr. deeded his wife Elizabeth, five slaves, his daughter, Attelia Ann Holliday, six slaves and Leonidas Benajah Aldridge, five slaves. This is recorded in Tipton Co. Tenn, Feb 24, 1829 book A, Pg 240. Later Elizabeth, all the Hollidays and Leonidas Benajay went to Texas.
