Notes:

Daniel Baldridge, (now spelled with the second "d") was among those older sons of John and Rebekah who migrated to North Carolina in about 1770.There is no known record bearing the name of his wife whom he married either shortly before leaving Lancaster County or relatively soon after arriving in Orange County, North Carolina. Daniel served with the North Carolina Continental Line during the Revolutionary War and was named in the First Census of the United States in 1790.

In about 1810, Daniel migrated from North Carolina to middle Tennessee, and about a decade later, on to Weakley County in northwest Tennessee, where he settled on land exchanged for the second of two land warrants that he received for his service in the Revolutionary War. He died in Weakley County in about 1828. The grave site of Daniel Baldridge is now prominently preserved in the "Y" formed by the Pair Road exit ramp and the south (west) bound traffic lanes of a recently constructed highway bypass approximately two miles southeast of the city of Martin, Tennessee.
