The Woolwich, Maine Partridge/Patridge Family
William Partridge was born likely at London, England [Partridge Cem. - Woolwich Maine, Nancy I. Fricke] in 1770 [ibid.]. It is unknown as to his English parentage or when exactly he arrived in the United States, but my first record of him appears in 1795 when he married Susannah McCobb Main on Christmas Eve. Susannah was the daughter of Joseph and Beatris (McCobb) Main (Mains). William and Susan went on to have eleven children, many of whose descendants resided at Woolwich, Maine for many generations.
The following information is basically a major census extraction of this line of Partridge/Patridge’s from 1800-1930, though other records were consulted. My main goal was to track the Partridge lines.
The descendants of this Partridge family have been traced to the following locations other then Woolwich: Bath, Brunswick. Bowdoinham, and Freeport, ME; Claremont and Brookline, NH; New Haven and Montville, CT; Taunton, MA; and Poughkeepsie, NY.

Partridge Family Tree
My Partridge family tree has for a long time been the staple of Partridge information online. I am now providing means for all Partridge researchers to assist with the development of this database of information by "adopting" your branch of the pear tree. While I can conduct research on Partridge's who are deceased or at the least recorded, it is becoming increasingly more difficult for me to input details about living Partridge's. In order to help protect the privacy of all Partridge's this data is now being housed in a secure password protected website. I'm very positive of its security, as I own and develop this major genealogy website. Any and all details about living Partridge's can be restricted down to the branch of the family tree. Meaning, only people who are part of that branch, can see the living information details, and add and correct them.
Any person gaining access to the family tree will need to contact me first using the form I've provided on the Partridge Family Tree site. Part of your responsibility will be identifying yourself in our data, or better yet, telling me I don't have you in the data and explaining where your line should be... ;-)
Once you've been placed in the appropriate line of your family tree I will grant you access to the database.
