Henry Ridgely married Elizabeth Howard, daughter of Matthew Howard and Ann (?).² He married Alice Skinner circa 1672.³ He married Mary (?)⁴ He died on 2 April 1710 in Prince Georges County, Maryland.^1,5

     Henry Ridgely immigrated in 1659 to Maryland.¹ He settled in Maryland in 1659 on a royal grant of land containing six thousand acres. 'Our Early Settlers' records that Henry Ridgely demanded land for transporting himself, his wife Elizabeth Howard, and four servants to America. Sometime before 1665 Elizabeth (Howard) Ridgely died, leaving no issue. (Elizabeth Howard and Henry Ridgley had two children: Sarah Ridgley, and Henry).
"In 1661 James Warner and Henry Ridgely were granted a certificate for 600 acres called "Ward Ridge" on the north side of South River, joining a tract 'Broom' formerly Richard Beard's. In 1665 James Warner assigned his right to Henry Ridgely.
....."Henry Ridgely's city home was in Annapolis, near where the present State House stands. He was vestryman of St. Ann's Church, and was one of the earliest founders of Anne Arundel County. In 1685, he had surveyed for himself 'Ridgely's Forest' which covered all the ground around what is now Annapolis Junction.
"During his long life he held many positions of honor and trust. He was commissioned to Advance Trade in 1683; Justice of the Peace from 1686 to 1696; commissioned Captain of a company of foot militia for Anne Arundel County in 1689; Major in 1692, and Lieutenant Colonel in 1694. He was member of the House of Burgesses of Maryland 1683 and 1692 and was appointed Gentleman Justice in 1698.
"After the death of his second wife, Sarah (Note: 2nd wife was Alice Skinner), Colonel Ridgely married Mary (Stanton) Duval, widow of Mareen Duval, the Huguenot. He died in 1710, leaving his wife Mary, executrix. Colonel Ridgely's will, unique in its quaint wording, on file at Annapolis, is of course quite valuable to the descendants of Elizabeth Brewer and Ninian Magruder, her husband, but as an example of his Christian character and keen foresight in providing bountifully for the members of his household, it is a priceless document."¹ He left a will in 1705 in Maryland. According to the will, His will, written in 1705, with codicils, was probated in 13 July 1710. It reads, 'I give to my wife Mary, my home, plantation, ' "Cotton" '; ' "Mary's Delight" ' and ' "Larkin's Folly," ' which I bought of Thomas Larkin, to an unborn child. To son Charles Ridgely, all that plantation called ' "Hogg Neck," ' and 300 acres of ' "Ridgely's Lot," ' lying at ' "Huntington A. A.," ' excepting lands sold to Thomas Reynolds and Neale Clarke, near Wm. Griffiths. I give also, to son Charles, 300 acres of ' "Wardridge," ' adjoining ' "Hogg Neck." ' My wering apparel to my brother, William, and my son, Charles. ' "Larkin Forest," ' if there be no heir, to be divided between Henry Ridgley and Nicholas Ridgely, sons of his deceased son, Henry, and Henry, son of his son, Charles Ridgely. The remaing part of ' "Wardridge" ' to go to his grandson, Henry Ridgely, son of Henry, deceased, after Charles had 300 acres out of it. If ' "Mary's Delight" ' is not possessed by an heir, it is to be divided between John Brewer, Joseph Brewer, Thomas Odall and Henry Odall, sons of Thomas Odall, [elsewhere written Odell]. I give to my daughter, Sarah Odall, wife of Thomas, a negroe girl; to all my grandchildren, L10; to my goddaughter, Martha Duvall, L51, and a cow and calf. to St. Barnabas Church, Queen Parish, Prince George, L20. Grandsons Henry and Nicholas Ridgely, to be under the care of Thomas Odall and Charles Greenberry, until of age. The remaining part, whether here or in England, to go to my wife and Executrix."
