  Notes	Was a planter of New Kent County. He was probably a younger brother of Colonel William Dandridge of "Elsing Green," but his tombstone, which is in St. George's Churchyard, at Fredericksburg, is without amorial bearings, and only gives the date of his death, and his age, and the latter does not agree with the Bible record of his birth. The inscription is as follows: "Here lies interred the Body of Col. John Dandridge of New Kent County, who Departed this life the 31st day of August 1756, aged 56 years." The Dandridges of Virginia By Wilson Miles Cary The progenitors of the families bearing this name were Col. William Dandridge, of "Elsing Green," King William county, and Col. John Dandridge, of New Kent. They were most likely brothers, for they make their earliest appearance together in Virginia about the same period in the same county, viz., Elizabeth City, and both finally settled on opposite sides of the Pamunky River, the one in King William, the other in New Kent. Their ancestry, however, is entirely unknown. But, that the family used the same arms as those borne by the Dandridges of Great Malvern, Worcestershire, viz., az. a lion's head erased or. between 3 mascles ar., is proved by the tombstone of Mrs. Euphan Dandridge, still to be found in Elizabeth City county. This lady lies buried at "Erroll," the old home of the Wallaces, on Back River. She was doubtless a Wallace, and most probably the daughter of the Rev. James Wallace (a Scotsman), who is also buried there. She was the first wife of William Dandridge, but was a widow when he married her.
