Stephen Woolridge (b. abt 1750...)
looking for any information about Stephen Woolridge and who his wife was. He was born about 1750 in England. His parents were William Henry Woolridge (b.1720 in Highampton, Devon, England, d. 1773 in Northlew, Devon, England), and Martha Wonnacott (b. 1718 in Beaworthy, Devon, England d.1759 in Northlew, Devon, England). I found 2 sons Stephen (b.1800) and Jacob (b.1806) but no supporting records.
In the U.S. and Canada, Passenger, and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s has recorded that he came to the US in 1773 arriving in Maryland. https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/1415986:7486?ssrc=pt&tid=185026434&pid=422422491301
I've seen his name associated with "Maryland Runaway Convict Servants, 1745-1780." by Richard J. Cox and with "The Kings Passengers to Maryland and Virginia" by Peter Wilson Coldham. I haven't been able to read them.
Thanks!

@BethanyHabisch I went into FamilySearch and can find him with no sources. His son had a lot of sources and I was hoping it would list something about father and mother, but none. I couldn't find a wife in Ancestry or FindMyPast. I am wondering if you look up his son in Ancestry if you might find more information there that might lead you to some additional information.
