			The [https://msa.maryland.gov/msa/speccol/sc4300/sc4341/html/intro.html ''New Early Settlers of Maryland''] identifies Nicholas Aldridge's immigration with this record:

			: '''Aldridge, Oldridge, Nicholas.''' 18:33. Transported by 1674. Transcript: WC4:215. MSA SC 4341.

			A transcript of the record this refers to is as follows:

			: June the 4th 1674. Came Robert Franklin of Ann Arundell County Gent and proved Right to Two hundred acres of land for Transporting Gustavus White, Nicholas Oldridge, Wililam Webb, and Thomas King into this province to inhabit. Warrant then issued in the name of the said Robert Franklin for two hundred acres of land due to him for the consideration of aforesaid. Cert. return the 4th of Sept. next.

			A second record, dated 1682 shows:

			: The names of such persons that have been brought in by Benjamin Lawerence (vizt.):
			: Gustavus White, Nicholas Aldridge, William Webb, Thomas King, Benjamin Lawrence, Eleanor Stuart
			: Giles Stawby, Thomas Grimfield, William Popjoy, Elizabeth Croom, Martha Croom
			: George Croom, Joice Croom, Thos. Bonifin, Mathew Currin, Katharine Paine
			: Mary Ano, William Wheeler, Lewis Lott, Richard Lawr, Thomas Lawrence
			: 17 August 1682. The above mentioned rights being twenty one was prooved by Benjamin Lawrence the Transporter.
			: Before me Nicholas Sewall.

			Note the first four names of this record are the same people as the 1674 record. Evidently Benjamin Lawrence purchased these rights, included Nicholas's. This parity confirms that the 1674 record does refer to Nicholas ''Aldridge'', despite that record spelling it ''Oldridge''. So we have a confirmed record of Nicholas Aldridge in Maryland as early as 1674.

	We can assume that our Nicholas was born before about 1656, since he was able to receive a proprietary land grant in 1680, and serve in a colonial militia in 1677. Within the parameters of a Nicholas Aldridge born in England between 1637 and 1657, only one Nicholas Aldridge appears in a search of the birth registers available on FamilySearch, the one asserted above, christened 28 December 1653 in Wellow, Hampshire. A second appears if I push the search back to 1627, christened 15 December 1633 at St. Margaret's, Westminster, Middlesex, the son of Thomas Aldridge. But how do we know these records are complete? How do we know Nicholas was born in England and not in Scotland, Wales, or anywhere else? We do not. Unless there is some record connecting Nicholas Aldridge in Maryland back to a specific location in England or wherever, I will not make an assumption.
