Hi, I have several web pages of family genealogy for my husband, Peter Eldridge's, family. The main page is at : http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~eldridge/she_gene.html The oldest Eldridge we can find is Isaac Eldridge, married to Abigail, who had a son John C. Eldridge in 1831 in Sandwich, Massachusetts. John married Mary Savery in Wareham in 1852. Their children were John Calvin (1855-1934) and Minnie Eva (1859-1898). If anyone knows of any related Eldridges, we'd be glad to know and add them to our database. Thanks! Sheryl Eldridge

I am looking for information on the parents of Thomas. I beleive they were Thomas Allred and Mary Foreman--I cannot seem to go back any further on this line. The surname in the records I have found is spelled Allred, Alred, Aldred, and Eldred. Can anyone help me? Susan Bellon

I am new to the list and would be interested in any information concerning Eldridges from or near Kent Co., England. My connection is with James S. and Harriate Higgins Eldridge. She was born in 1836 and they were married on Apr 14, 1858 in Brompton Parish. James was a coal merchant with his own coal ship before he emmigrated to Michigan and became a farmer. His father's name was Timothy and Harriate's father was William Higgins. -- Airflow Sciences Corporation 37501 Schoolcraft Road Livonia, MI 48150 TEL (313) 464-8900

Hello, I'm looking for the name of the father of Hiram B. ELDRIDGE. According to the vital statistics of Somerset, MA, Hiram was born in Sandwich, MA in approximately 1836. He died in Somerset, MA in 1865. His mother's given name is shown as Huldah and his father's name is shown as "Sevena" or possibly "Gevena". Even for the times, I believe these would be unusual names for a man and makes me think that they may be in error. Any and all help is appreciated. Joseph E. Smith

David, I'm very interested in your book about the History of Chatham. I was excited to see Ebenezer Eldredge in your post...would there happen to be any more mention of his family in your book? I know his parents to be Ebenezer Eldredge and Deliverance NICKERSON but I have hit a dead end at the elder Ebenezer. Any hints?

Hey Ann Marie, Your post interested me! I have an ELDREDGE/NICKERSON link: Ebenezer ELDREDGE b. 1707 Chatham, Barnstable, MA m. Deliverance NICKERSON b. 1712 Chatham, Barnstable, MA dau. of William Nickerson and Deliverance LOMBARD Don't have any Higgins' that I know of YET! (doesn't mean they're not there!) ~Sue~ [email protected]

Hi, Faith and all the other ELDREDGE people I have several ELDREDGE cousins (Edward, Jesse, Jesse, John, Mercy)--they loved to marry HIGGINS! My direct line goes through Sarah and her father Elnathan (mind 1700s). Her g granddaughter then married another Higgins. I also have NICKERSONs. Mercena Nickerson married yet another Higgins, Zebina, in 1836. Her father was Silas. Then I have an Elizabeth NICKERSON (father Ebenezer) married to Josiah Linnell, whose granddaugther, Lucinda LINNELL, married Mercena's son, Zebina H. in 1862. Another Higgins! Their daughter Stenie is my g g grandmother. I haven't found the early link between the NICKERSONs, though I know there must be one. And can't find info on Elnathan ELDREDGE. Anybody sound familar to you? Shall we dig deeper together?

Clay, we didn't exactly stumble. We do connect with the ELDRIDGE.ELDREDGE LINES. How about this? Now, we can probley get down to some very serious buis- ness. I am happy for the input. Dee --------------------- Forwarded message: From: [email protected] Resent-from: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: 97-05-28 00:41:59 EDT There are many more. Dee --------------------- Forwarded message: From: [email protected] (Pam Wilson) Sender: [email protected] Reply-to: [email protected] To: [email protected] (Arledge list) Date: 97-05-22 11:59:28 EDT I think I may have just stumbled on a breakthrough for a link, but need the help of several of you. This is especially relevant to Marcelle, Joe and Charlene. Gosh, it's wonderful to have all these Aldridge/Arledge trees! The hard part is looking back and forth between Arledges and Aldridges with the same first name to see if they're the same person! I just happened to run across this possible link when looking up in my index. Marcelle, on your tree, you have a John Aldridge (born c. 1743) who is the son of Thomas (b 1720)and Mary Smith Aldridge of Beaufort, NC. This Thomas is the son of John and Elizabeth Aldridge of Northumberland, son of John and Dorothy Smith Aldridge, son of Clement and Elizabeth. I need to know as much as I can about *where you got the info* about this JOHN ALDRIDGE (C 1743-1817, married to Anna), and especially his date of death. You see, I've been trying to find the origins of the Edgefield Co, SC JOHN ALDRIDGE/ARLEDGE, also married to an Anna, whose WILL WAS WRITTEN in 1817 but recorded in 1821. I think these could possibly be the same person--which would solve one GREAT mystery about this branch of the SC Arledges. You see, my hunch is that this John Arledge (who names sons Burrel, John and Isaac in his will) is the ancestor of the Neshoba Co, MS Arledges (Elzey Joe's tree) and Charlene's Milam Co, Texas Arledges. Here are my notes from my tree about "Edgefield" John Arledge: Descendants of "Edgefield" John Arledge Generation No. 1 1. JOHN1 ARLEDGE was born Bef 1760, and died 1821 in Edgefield Co, SC. He married ANNA ???. Notes Received a State Grant in 1791 for 155 acres on Turkey Creek in Edgefield County, Ninety-Six District, SC, which augmented several other land holdings he had previously acquired. Upon his death, his personal estate was valued at $2179, not including the value of his real estate. He and his wife had at least 3 sons and several daughters. Will in Edgefield Co, SC. dated 29 May 1817 (recorded 9-25-1821) It is not clear who this John's parents were. In the 1790 Edgefield County, SC census (96 District), listed as JOHN AULDRIDGE, with 2 males over 16, 3 males under 16 and 4 females. Thus, he must have had a larger family than the 3 sons listed in his will. The same census also lists an ABSOLOM ALDRIDGE (who is later found in Kershaw County). The 1800 Edgefield Co, SC census (96 District) lists JAMES ALDRIDGE and JOHN ALDRIDGE as living in the same district. JOHN had 2 males 10-16, one 16-26 and one over 45, and 2 females under 10, 1 10-16 and one over 45 and 4 slaves. JAMES was a younger family, with one male and female each 26-45 and one boy and 3 girls under age 10. Is this James the oldest son of John and Anna? It would make sense since he seems to have lost one older son between the 1790 and 1800 censuses. However, the 1800 census for Abbeville County section of 96 District lists a JOHN ALDRIDGE and a NATHANIEL ALDRIDGE (a Nathaniel was also listed in 1800 in Abbeville). The 1810 Edgefield County census has an interesting twist--it lists: ALDREDGE, JOHN Jr. 031 ARLDREDGE, JOHN Jr. 031 ARLDRIDGE, ISAAC 035 John and Isaac are two of the sons of John. Where is James? and why are both Johns listed as Junior? 1820 Edgefield County census lists JOHN ARLREDGE SR. (000100 11101) and ISAAC ALREDGE (11010 20110) and JOHN ALREDGE (310010 10010) The 1830 Edgefield census lists ANNA ALDRIDGE (widow of John, SR.) and ISAAC ALDRIDGE. Son Burrel is never mentioned except in his will. Could Burrel be the same as James? Children of John Arledge and Anna ??? are: i. BURREL2 ARLEDGE, b. Bef 1780. ii. JOHN ARLEDGE, b. Bef 1780. iii. ISAAC ARLEDGE, b. Bef 1780. iv. JAMES? ARLEDGE, b. Bef 1774. I think these sons are our best candidates for the Mississippi and Milam Co, TX Arledges. There is a possibility that this Isaac Arledge was the progenitor of the Neshoba County, Mississippi Arledge family, who reckon their descent from an Isaac Arledge. Charlene says her Milam Co Arledges are descended from a John Arledge of Edgefield Co, NC. According to Elzey Joe Arledge's trees, this ancestral Isaac Arledge was in SC, of English descent (born c 1765-1775, by my calculations) who had 4 children: Bruce, Betsy, Jack and Isaac D. Arledge. This next generation Isaac D. Arledge (born estim. 1790-1795) married English-born Rachel Harrison, and gave birth to Betsy, Nancy, Sallie, Mary and Isaac D. This *next* generation Isaac D. Arledge was born 7 Nov 1819 in SC and moved to Paulding, MS and then to Hattiesburg, where he died in 1910. He had 14 children, and his descendants are documented by Elzey Joe Arledge, Jr. of Woodbridge, VA (703-491-8280) or <[email protected]>. I think this is the most likely point of connection for the Mississippi branch, although the other unaccounted-for Isaac Arledge during the appropriate time period would be the Fairfield Isaac Arledge (son of Isaac, who was son of Isaac bc 1747 and Anna) who was born 1770-1785, married Lydia Hughes, and had children William, Isaac, John, Austin, James, Charlotte, Eliza and Lydia. However, these names do not connect at all to the children of Isaac listed by Elzey Joe Arledge. On the other hand, since the Edgefield Isaac was one of at least three children (Isaac, John and Burrell) of John Arledge, it seems more likely that he would name his children Jack (John), Elizabeth (Betsy), Bruce (could be some variant of Burrell?) and Isaac. Also, it is likely that the "Jno. Arledge" (b. 1794) on Elzey Joe's tree could be the same as "Jack" here, since both are forms of John, and the dates of birth would be approximately the same.
