About William Holdridge, Jr.
William Holdridge was born in the cripplegate secton of london, and lived on Alphage Street
William Holdred (Holdridge, Holdredge), listed as a Tanner, came to the colonies on the ship "Elizabeth" in 1635, arriving to Ipswich, Massachusetts. He married young widow Isabella (Howard) Craddock in 1640. He moved several times before finally settling in what is now Exeter, NH , but was then part of Massachusetts.
They had nine children: Sarah, Mary, Rebecca Morgan, William, Samuel, Sarah, Mehitable Smith, Abigail, & Mary Kelly.
It sounds like this family struggled, moving frequently probably to find work, having lived in London, Ipswich, Salisbury, Haverhill, Exeter, York and Portsmouth, being involved in law suits and William being arrested for an unknown offense… and poor Isabelle ending up being murdered and only owning an old house and other things worth only £28 at her death. Sad.
