Notes for William Wooldridge:
William Wooldridge's distant cousin Daniel Trabue recollected that :

"Not long after [the first of March 1781, after the militia started Down on the south side of James River. . .near the Dismal Swamp] William Wooldridge, who drove his own teme in the army to cary the bagage for our company, lost his wagon horses. He had hunted for them and could not find them, and the knews [sic] was the enemy was a coming. The "general" was beating. [that is to say "Strike your tents and March." All the soldiers and waiters in the army knows the sound of this beat. If it was at midnight everything Moves:

            Don't you hear the general say
            "Strike your tents and march away"?]

Mr. Wooldridge was going on with the army and leave his horses and wagon behind for the enemy. Capt. Mosley called on me to know of me what was to be Done. I told him I would go with Mr. Wooldride [sic] and try to git the horses, but he must leave two men with the wagan to guard it. He agreed to it. I told the 2 Men they could see a great way off, and if they saw the enemy a coming to take to the woods, but if the enemy Did not come to stay their [sic] until we returned. Mr. Wooldridge and my self took around the camp and soon struck their [the horses'] trail. Ingoing 3 or 4 mile we got them and Returned to the wagon in a Gallop. When we got to the waggon, they said if we had not come so soon they was Just agoing to leave the wagon. They understood the british was a coming. They thought we was gone 2 hours and that was Just the time they intended to stay and no longer. The horses was hiched to the wagon and we was gone I think in 5 Minuts. We went in a long trot and over took the army in a hurry."

Chester Raymond Young, ed., Westward into Kentucky: The Narrative of Daniel Trabue (University Press of KY, Lexington 1981), pp. 97-98.

There were other contemporary William Wooldridges, but the geography and context point to [40] William Wooldridge as the subject of this anecdote.

His father Edward [5] Wooldridge left William in 1808 two Negroes Joe and Amey and all that he, Edward, had previously given William. Chesterfield WB 7:75 (July 20, 1805, pr. Oct. 10, 1808).

His first wife Frances was still living in 1795 when she joined William in a deed. After his second marriage, he and Mary deeded the slaves William owned through his first marriage to Frances Clay to the eight children (named) of that marriage.

With all but the two eldest children, who had already married and set up on their own, he emigrated to Rockingham Co. NC where various of his children married from 1805 to 1815. He was in the 1810 census there. Thereafter he moved to Henry Co. KY, where some of his older children already lived (a daughter married in Henry Co. in 1813), and then on to Hardin Co. He was on a November 1817 tax list in Hardin Co. and died there in 1824. A lawsuit in Hardin Co., Jesse Wooldridge v. William Slack, identifies children of [40] William Wooldridge.
