er of Sir James Holmes, who died 31 May 1727, Belfast, Ireland, and Lady M
argaret Jennings, of Belfast, said to be cousin to the first Duchess of Ma
rborough. She is said to have married Baldridge much against the wish

Since William and Janette Baldridge both died in Lancaster Co., Pa
., it is reasonable to assume that they are buried there, although the si
te of their grave is unknown. The Pennsylvania baldridges were Conenanter
s, and among their descendants were a number of Presbyterian ministers. Re
