With grateful appreciation to Don Turrentine for his generosity in sharing the Turrentine book with me.  Nancy

These maps were drawn by the authors of the family history books mentioned above.  They were each able and quite thorough in their work, but it's good to remember that mistakes are sometimes made by even the most meticulous researchers and bear that in mind when you're looking for your family's name.
My 6-g-grandparents, William and Jeanette Holmes BALDRIDGE, came from Tyronne, Ulster Province, Ireland, to Little Britain Township, Lancaster County, PA, in 1726.  Their son, John and wife, Rebekka Clark, came later, from Coleraine, Ulster Province, and Londonderry, Ireland, respectively, and settled in Marctic Township, Lancaster County, PA.  Their son, Francis Baldridge, married Elizabeth TURRENTINE in 1775 in Orange County and settled in the Little River area of that county.  Francis was a soldier in the Continental Army during the American Revolution.  Elizabeth's father, my 5-g-grandfather, Alexander Turrentine, came from Ireland with his brother, Samuel, and settled first in PA, for a short time, then both migrated to Orange County, NC with their families.  Elizabeth's mother was Deborah Spence Turrentine, believed to have been born in PA.  The Baldridges' and Turrentines' farms were next to each other in Orange County, NC.

There is an accompanying list of names for the second map below, but, not for the first.  However, I  believe most of the names are clear enough on this map that they should be legible.  If you have any trouble reading them, let me know and I'll take a look and see if I can decipher the name you're interested in on the paper copy.

Notes from Dr. Kennedy:

1.  A number of names on this list go all the way back to Lancaster Co., PA.
2.  Francis Baldridge's home was located about where the asterisk in "c" is.  It is believed that Daniel Baldridge's acreage was along Little River below Horse Creek
