He was aged between 60 and 70 on the 1830 census<ref name="1830census" />, and Nathaniel Aldridge Sr. was in North Carolina by about 1761.

			Nathaniel Jr. probably married his wife in the 1780s. It is uncertain whether this took place in North Carolina or South Carolina, but the lack of a marriage record may argue for a South Carolina marriage (since South Carolina did not require marriage licenses).

	So it appears quite likely that the identification of Nathaniel Aldridge's wife as "Jane" is based on a probable conflation of Nathaniel (presumed to be "Nathaniel Benjamin") with Benjamin, his son, who died about 1826/27.

	Per F. R. Aldridge, Jane, the wife of Benjamin, was also supposed to be an Armstrong, and this appears to be his reason for discounting the tradition that Nathaniel Jr.'s wife was an Armstrong. But it seems more likely to me that Nathaniel's wife was an Armstrong than Benjamin's, since Nathaniel did name a son ''James Armstrong Aldridge''. In any case, '''a tradition is not documentation.''' Noting that Nathaniel's wife "was said to have been an Armstrong" is very different than giving her a full name without documentation.		Per F. R.
