William Ezekiel Aldridge, did move to North Carolina. He is listed as Ezekiel Alred in the 1790 census records for Randolph County. He died on 24 October 1793 and is buried at Old McMasters Cemetery in Randolph County. He named fourteen children in his will.

The land records and the early census records show that most of the children of William Aldridge and Elizabeth Symons lived in North Carolina. On 6 February 1761, Nathaniel Aldrage received a grant for 220 acres on the Bushy Fork of Flat river; Joseph Oldrage was a chain carrier. On 8 December 1762, Nathaniel Aldrage received another grant for 700 acres on both sides of Flatt River; Joseph Oldrage was a chain carrier. On 11 December 1762, Joseph Aldrage received a grant for 455 acres on both sides of Flat River. Both men affixed their marks, unable to sign their names. There were several men by the name of Alridge or Aldridge who appear in the early records of Randolph County and vicinity. Among them were: Nicholas Aldridge (1768 tax list for Orange County); William Aldridge and Nathaniel Aldridge (1779 tax list for Randolph County); Joseph Aldridge (1784 tax list for Caswell County); and Nathan Alridge (1790 census for Randolph County).
