comments

"Although Rev. Ralph Partridge and a George Partridge were living at Duxbury at the same time, and are separate ancestors of the memorialist, there is no proof, coincidental or otherwise, that they were related to one another. Specifically, there is no record that Rev. Partridge and George Partridge were mutually involved in any transaction recorded in the Plymouth Colony records or witnessed a transaction of the other, and no person named George Partridge is included in any manner in Rev. Ralph Partridge's 1655 will at Duxbury."

biography

The first mention of George Partridge name upon the records of Plymouth Colony was in the year 1636 when he was granted five acres of land at Powder Point, with permission from the Court to settle thereon. In 1637 he was allowed 20 acres at Green Harbor Path; in 1638, 30 acres at Mill Brook which he sold to Thomas King, Jr., of Scituate in 1668. He was not admitted a freeman until 1646. In 1643 his name appears in a list of those able to bear arms. In 1646 he was constable and later a surveyor of highways and a grand juryman. He was either a private or a non-commissioned officer in Capt. Miles Standish Company. He was one of the original purchasers of Middleborough. Winson calls George Partridge One of the most respectable yeoman of the Colony.

On 16 November 1638 in Plymouth Colony, George married Sarah Tracy, born 1622 in Leyden, Holland, died 6 October 1702/1708 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts. She came to America with her parents on the Ann in 1623. Sarah's will is dated 28 November 1702 and it was probated 6 October 1708 (Plymouth Co. Records, Vol.2, p.131.)

George's will is recorded in Plymouth County Probate Records (Vol. I p.225) and was dated 26 June 1652 and inventory was taken 25 October 1652, so his death occurred between those dates. In these records the name is variously spelled Partridge, Partrich, Partrick and Patrick. Alexander and Josiah, both sons of Miles Standish, were witneses to the will.
