Notes for George PARTRIDGE
George appears in Duxbury, Plymouth in 1636 when he’s granted 5 acres of land. He’s constable there in 1646.[ [640]] NOT the son of Ralph -- there are extensive histories of Ralph with no mention of George. Possibly the son of Ralph’s brother James, but no proof can be made. (See http://www.partridgenest.com/archives/mass/george.htm for analysis.)
Abstract from Partrige Family book:
GEORGE PARTRIDGE, the first of the family in America, arrived at Duxbury, Mass., in or sometime prior to 1636. It is stated in Winsor's "History of Duxbury" that he came from the County ofKent
in England.
BIOGRAPHY: The first mention of his name upon the records of Plymouth County was in that year (1636), when he was granted five acres of land at Powder Point, with permission from the court to settle thereon. In the next two years and also in 1666, he received additional grants
of land about Duxbury, amounting in all to about two hundred acres.
Winsor styles him "one of the most respectable yeomanry of the colony." In 1643 his name appears in a list of those able tobear arms. In 1646 he was constable. Of this office Winsor says: "This was an office of high trust and responsibility and none were elected to it but men ofgood
standing."
Later he was a "Surveyor of Highways" and a grand-jury man.
He was either a private or a non-commissioned officer in Capt. Miles Standish's Company.
He was one of the original purchasers of Middleborough.
His will is recorded in Plymouth County Probate Records (Vol.1, p. 225) and was dated June 26, 1682. An inventory of his estate was taken October 10, 1695. So his death occurred between those two dates. His will was witnessed by two sons of Miles Standish, Alexander and Josiah.
Savage’s: GEORGE, Duxbury, perhaps br. of Rev. Ralph, being ment. in the rec. 1636, the same yr. that Ralph came, m. Nov. 1638, Sarah, d. of Stephen Tracy of Plymouth, had Sarah, b. 1639; Mercy; Tryphosa; Ruth; Lydia, John, b. 29 Nov. 1657; and James, who liv. to 20 Jan. 1745, but had prob. no ch. was prop. 1645 of Bridgewater, and one of the orig. purchas. of Middleborough in 1662. His d. Sarah m. a 1658, Samuel West; Allen of Bridgewater; Tryphosa m. 26 Sept. 1668, Samuel West; Ruth m. 12 Jan. 1670, Rodolphus Thacher; and Lydia m. 2 Jan. 1672, William Brewster.

Notes for Sarah TRACY
Leiden records contain an entry: 1 May 1624 Trifoza Trace, 27 years, wife of Steephen Trace resident in Laiden, to the same, also her daughter Sara Trace, 15 months old. (TAG 51:242)
Sarah's will names her eight daughters by their married names, as well as her sons John and James. Only abstracts are available online, so the context is unclear. However, at least two of her daughters were dead, according to vital records, by 1702, so the date cannot be used to assume any others were actually alive.
