The Name Of Shortridge.

Being a surname researcher and as this site is all about surnames I thought it was time to do some surnames on a one to one bases. Most of my pages are full of names and not of just one family. So I have decided to make up a few pages of just one family name. I will pick some names I think are a little uncommon, although what I think is uncommon may not be all that uncommon. Like the name of ( Blue ) which I just finished, here I thought was a uncommon name only to find out it wasn’t all that uncommon and ended up with a page with over 500 hundred names.

This page will be on the name of ( Shortridge ) I know it’s not all that uncommon but as I have a very good friend with this name I thought it would be a nice to surprise him. So my good friend this page is for you. And for those of you who have ancestors with this name I hope the page will help you in your hunt for your ancestors.

Important note about the Revolutionary War.

I know that many of you Shortridge’s had ancestors in the Rev. War, and I would like to help you find then. The information would come from the pension roll of the time. But as these records are so vast I need your help in finding them.

If you are looking for an ancestor from the Rev. War, and would like for me to take a look I will need his Full Name, State and County, if you know it. Now this is very important I need the State he died in. You may ask why the State he died in ( Ohio ) when he served in Missouri?, Will the State he was living at the time of his death is were his pension would have been sent. A lot of people make this mistake, they looked in the State he served for only to find out they should have been looking in the State he dies in.

If you would like a look up, or have any questions feel free to write to me all searchers are (FREE). dsegelquist1@cox.net
