Aldridge/Calvert/Gist
I've hit a wall with my wife's Aldridge family of Cave City, Sharp Co, AR, and neighboring county Independence (Barren Township).Her gg-grandmother was Orpha Ann Aldridge.I have found Orpha's brother, John Monie Aldridge, on the 1880 census for Barren Township, Independence Co, AR, where Orpha's daughter (John's niece) is part of the household.Her name was Carilla Ann Calvert who a year later married John Armstrong Logan "Buddy" Gist. The census states that John Monie Aldridge was born in Tennessee and that both his parents were from North Carolina.I need to connect John Monie and his sister Orpha Ann to the Aldridge family of Tennesee and North Carolina. Any help will be appreciated. Kenneth Rorie [email protected]
