[15445] living - details excluded
Emigrated from England by 1672. There are Ridgelys in the Visitation of Shropshire, 1623, but we do not know if this is the area from which William came. In 1690 he purchased a portion of "Abington," at the head of the South River, as his homestead. His brother, Col. Henry Ridgely [see note below], was supposed to be of Tiverton, Devonshire, England, settling in Maryland in 1659 on a royal grant of 6,000 acres - he became a colonel in the Militia and member of the Assembly, justice of the peace, and Vestryman of the Parish Church of St. Ann's. Some researchers have speculated that their father is Charles Ridgely, b. ca. 1620 in England - per the LDS Church's Ancestral File [NOT verified!].
See https://www.anamericanfamilyhistory.com/Maryland_Families/Ridgely_Family.html
William's estate inventory was filed 13 Nov 1716, and was subscribed to by Johoshaphat Ridgely in 1717 (see Probate Records for Anne Arundel County, Liber 8A, folio 51). His widow, as administrator, filed the estate accounts 30 June 1718 (Liber 1, folio 237). See reference cited under his son, William. William and Elizabeth sold in 1710 "Ridgely's Beginning" to Amos Garrett, the Annapolis merchant; this property he surveyed first in 1697, and it is on the north side of the South River. When William, Jr. married Jane Westall in 1701, his parents deeded the homestead, "Abington," to them.
"Colonial Dames of America, Vol. 1, p.86: "William Ridgely, of South River (1645-1716), came to the Province of Maryland in 1672. His first survey, 1697, was 'Ridgely's Beginning,' north side of South River, which in 1710 he and his wife Elizabeth sold to Amos Garrett, the Annapolis merchant. In 1690 he bought of James Finley a portion of 'Abington' at the head of South River, and made it his homestead. William Ridgely's landed estates were, 'Ridgely's Beginning,' forty acres; 'Ridgely's Chance,' three hundred and five acres, and 'Abington,' two hundred acres. He died intestate."
William and his family are subjects of an extensive article in "Anne Arundel Gentry, Vol. 3," Harry Wright Newman (Lord Baltimore Press, 1933), pp. 152ff. William is shown by "Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Maryland, Pedigrees of Members, 1905-1939," p. 6 as a qualifying ancestor.
Another immigrant is Robert Ridgely who left London in 1635 and came to St. Mary's Co., MD - he became a major landowner in Prince George's and Somerset Counties, a Member of the Provincial Bar, Clerk of the Provincial Court, etc., dying about January, 1682 (-see Burke's "American Families", London, 1939, p. 2887).
The surname means "dweller at the Ridge-Lea," i.e. hill-meadow or ridge and woodland meadow. (Cf. on the Internet: http://www.rugeleyweb.net/rughistory1.htm and http://www.roman-britain.org/chase/rugeley.htm)
[There is no known relationship with Captain Charles Ridgely, builder of the Hampton Mansion between 1783 and 1790. Captain Ridgely claimed kinship with the owners of Castle Howard in Yorkshire, England. The Mansion is near exit 27-B of the Baltimore Beltway (I-695).]
With respect to Col. Henry Ridgely, the following was available in July, 2000 on the World Wide Web:
"Mr. RIDGELY had children:
1. Henry RIDGELY born in England; m.1. Elizabeth HOWARD by 1664; m.2. Alice SKINNER ca. 1672 (she was the daughter of Aquilla SKINNER and Alice CORNISH, and granddaughter of James CORNISH (born ca. 1568) and first wife); m.3. Mary (STANTON) DUVALL; d. between 1 Jan. 1708 and 13 July 1710 Prince George's Co., MD
2. William RIDGELY born England; m. Elizabeth; d. 1716 Anne Arundel Co., MD
"Henry RIDGELY was NOT from Tiverton, Devon, England as listed by some researchers. The name RIDGELY does not occur there, and this likely is confusion with his second wife Alice SKINNER, who was from Tiverton
"J.D.WARFIELD, "Founders of Anne Arundel and Howard Counties," (Baltimore: Kohn & Pollock, 1905), 77, cites a Bible record of Nicholas RIDGELY, son of Henry (Jr.) in which he states his grandparents were Henry and Sarah. WARFIELD speculates that the mother of Henry Ridgely, Jr. was Sarah, and that she was a daughter of James WARNER and Elizabeth HARRIS.
"See Sharon J. DOLIANTE, "Maryland and Virginia Colonial: Genealogies of Some Colonial Families," (Baltimore: Genealogical Pub. Co., Inc., 1991), 839, for an excellent discussion of this subject. Henry RIDGELY, Sr. did not marry a woman named Sarah, or a daughter of James WARNER. Nicholas' grandmother Elizabeth died about 25 years before he was born, and his father Henry died when he was only 5. Nicholas had no first hand knowledge of what his grandmother's name was.
"James WARNER had no children by his wife Elizabeth (widow) HARRIS, who he married only about a year before his death in 1673. His will named a daughter Johanna SEWELL, and sons Samuel, Howard, and Philip from his first marriage.
"It is known that Henry RIDGELY married first Elizabeth HOWARD and second Alice SKINNER. Depositions in chancery court show that his only child by his wife Alice SKINNER was his son Charles. Henry RIDGELY's third marriage to Mary (widow) DUVALL was too late for her to be mother to any of his children. That leaves Elizabeth HOWARD to be the mother of Henry's children Sarah and Henry. As added circumstantial evidence as to the mother of Sarah and Henry, Jr., note that Sarah named her only daughter from her first marriage to John BREWER, Elizabeth (after her mother) and Henry RIDGDLY, Jr. named his two daughters Ann (after his wife's mother) and Elizabeth (after his mother).
"Henry RIDGELY Sr.'s first wife was Elizabeth HOWARD. She died ca. 1669-1672. Henry RIDGELY and first wife Elizabeth HOWARD had children: 1. Sarah RIDGELY b. Anne Arundel Co., MD; m.1. John BREWER; m.2. Thomas ODELL; d. between 29 Apr. 1717 and 28 June 1727 Prince George's Co., MD; 2. Henry RIDGELY b. 3 Oct. 1669 Anne Arundel Co., MD; m. Katherine GREENBERRY; d. 19 Mar. 1699/1700 Anne Arundel Co., MD.
"Henry RIDGELY's second wife Alice SKINNER arrived in MD ca. 1671, and depositions state they were married within a year. She died about 1694. Henry RIDGELY and second wife Alice SKINNER had children: 1. Charles RIDGELY b. ca. 1676 (deposition states he was born about four years after his parents married); m. Elizabeth READ 25 Aug. 1698; d. ca. 1722 Anne Arundel Co., MD.
"Henry RIDGELY (Jr.) and Katherine GREENBERRY had children:
1. Ann RIDGELY b. Anne Arundel Co., MD; m. Joshua DORSEY May 1711; d. between 17 Oct. and 11 Dec. 1771 Anne Arundel Co., MD
2. Elizabeth RIDGELY b. Anne Arundel Co., MD; m Thomas WORTHINGTON 23 July 1711; d. 18 Dec. 1734 St. Anne's Parish, Anne Arundel Co., MD
3. Henry RIDGELY b. Anne Arundel Co., MD; m. Elizabeth WARFIELD 2 Oct. 1722; d. between 6 Feb. and 14 Mar. 1749 Anne Arundel Co., MD
4. Nicholas RIDGELY b. 12 Feb. 1694/5 Anne Arundel Co., MD; m.1. Sarah WORTHINGTON 26 Dec. 1711;
m.2. Mrs. Ann GORDON 5 Dec. 1723; m.3. Mrs. Nancy VINING; d. 16 Feb. 1755/6 Dover, Dover Co., DE
5. Charles RIDGELY b. Anne Arundel Co., MD; d. between 29 Dec. 1703 and 30 Apr. 1705 Anne Arundel Co., MD
"Henry RIDGELY's widow Katherine GREENBERRY secondly married John HOWARD and they had children: 1. Katherine HOWARD b. 1702 Anne Arundel Co., MD; m. Orlando GRIFFITH 6 June 1717"

"The Maryland from Overseas . . .," Harry Wright Newman (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 2002), p. 158: "Ann Skinner, daughter and heiress of Aquilla Skinner of Collington, Devonshire, emigrated to Maryland and married Henry Ridgely as his second wife. They became the parents of Henry Ridgely II the son and heir. Her father Aquila Skinner in 1666 gave his daughter Ann a house and lot in Newport Street, Tiverton, County Devon, which was later claimed by her grandosn Henry Ridgely III. Aquilla Skynner [sic] aforesaid was the son of Richard Skynner of Collington who died testate in 1630 naming Aquilla as his youngest son. The Parish Church at Collington contains tombs and memorials to the Skynner family. Ref: Litigation by Henry Ridgely III in chancery 1727 to claim his grandmother's property at Tiverton which was then used as the Meeting House of the Anabaptists; see also 'History of the Baptist Church in Tiverton,' publish London by the Baptist Union."

"Colonial Families of the Southern States of America: A History and Genealogy of Colonial Families who settled in the Colonies prior to the Revolution, 2nd ed., with Revisions and Additions," Stella Pickett Hardy (Baltimore, MD: Clearfield, 2003), p. 442 - a connection with this Ridgely line is not known.
