In a message dated 02/18/2001 12:26:54 AM Central Standard Time, DELDRIDGE1@aol.com writes: > 1850 SALINE COUNTY, ARKANSAS > Page 109 > ELDRIDGE, Rezin - 27, male, white, Farmer, born in Tennessee > Mahala - 21, female, white, born in Tennessee > Jesse W. - 6 months, male, white, born in Arkansas > Tennecia C. - 3, female, white, born in Arkansas > > Donna, Thanks so much for posting all the AR census info! As you know, Rezin Eldridge was my gg-grandfather. I have a copy of the actual 1850 Saline Co. AR census, and in looking at the census taker's handwriting, I believe the daughter's name was Pernecia C. instead of Tennecia. Also, the 1870 census for Randolph Co. AR is in error. The listings you show on page 516 are actually in Dyer township in Saline Co. AR. The only ones in Randolph Co. AR for 1870 are the ones on page 419 and 420 in Current River township. It's very confusing but the federal index was in error. Hope this helps and if anyone is researching Rezin/Reason Eldridge, his father Sampson, and grandfather Thomas, I would love to share info. Thanks, Carole Mayfield

Hi Merle, You got that right! In Nelson's "Robert Eldred Book" he has my Eldridge line down to my great grand father, Oliver Eldridge. What is hard to understand is why there are so many errors when the correct information (VRs) was readily available in the Harwich/Sandwich Town Records Nelson better not meet my Grdma, Brigit Eldridge, in the great beyond. Say's in his book that she has "no issue." Since Brigit had nine children, duly recorded in the Harwich VRs, I don't think she would take kindly to that statement. (g) I was suspicious of "the book" but finally purchased it through genealogy "peer pressure." Looks like he took his Robert/William "discards" from his "Samuel" research and hired Ms Costello ( I should know her) to try and invent a Cape Robert/William link and enhanced (?) descendancy. Btw, I missed a rather obvious record regarding my Robert1. I assumed he was illiterate since my Reuben4 signed his will with an "x'' Just recently reread entry in Plymouth Court Records where Robert1 was paid a fee for "writing the testimony for---" (snip) while he was Constable. Makes me think he may have had schooling in England. He was a servant to Gov. Prence and from what I have read, it does not seem that the Governor was the type that would take time to educate his servants. Have you got involved in the literacy question in your research?

No Richard, I became so digusted with the conflicting data out there, I pretty much gave up on the Eldridges. It was my EXsister-inlaws line. I still think that Zoeth had the most correct info that I found. I don't know if you are aware but Alanson Eldredge was born into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the Mormons) while they were at their winter headquarters. The LDS has a tremendous amount of info on their pioneers, which Alanson was. It is nice to see that someone else decided to check up on Nelson. :-) Merle RICHARD A ELDRIDGE wrote: > > Hi Merle, > > You got that right! > > In Nelson's "Robert Eldred Book" he has my Eldridge line down to my great > grand father, Oliver Eldridge.

I noticed that in the information given earlier that I incorrectly reported the date of birth for Thomas Eldred of Ipswich, Suffolk, England. Thomas Eldred b. c. 1595, d. 1640, m. 4 Feb. 1617 to Anna Watson, son Thomas born 20 December 1617. His Will dated 1640 left the house in Ipswich for life to Anna with the remainder to Thomas, his eldest son. Eldredge Genealogy by Zoeth S. Eldredge, Esq., of San Francisco, Cal. states that William Eldred, Robert Eldred of Yarmouth and Monomoy, and Samuel Eldred of Cambridge and Stonington were brothers who came to Mass. about 1635 from England. William was appointed constable in Yarmouth in 1657, 1662, 1674, 1675, and 1677 and was also surveyor of highways; he was a deputy to the Colony Court and held other offices. Dave Benham, <dodgeboy@mindspring.com> writes that William Eldredge b. c. 1622, d. Nov. 1679 m. Anne Lumpkin 3March 1642/3 had two brothers Robert Eldred b. c. 1627, d. bef 18 Jan 1681/2 m. Elizabeth Nickerson Oct. 1649; Samuel Eldred b. Nov. 20, 1620; d. bet. 1697-1699; m. Elizabeth Miller 25 Nov. 1640. From all that I can determine the William and Robert Eldred of Norfolk and Samuel Eldred of Ipswich, Suffolk are not brothers.

Listees! Pls revise date at end of para 3 to read 1653 vs 1753. Robert1 would have little need for a financial windfall by 1753 (g) Richard

This is what I have been saying for several years. Nelson could NOT find the data he wanted so he misinterpreted what he did find just to make it fit. He really was getting quite old and was very ill. Perhaps just errors in conception. Thanks so very much on giving us your rendition of the facts as known. merle W.

Hi Nancy/ others interested William/Robert Eldred researchers. I have recently been searching for the English origins of my ancestor, Robert1 Eldred, and indirectly, by association, your William1. In this effort I utilized the service of East Anglia Village Research and information provided by a leading English "Eldred researcher." Incidentally, the latter individual is currently contributing to the Eldred Genforum surname on the Family Tree Maker web site The quick answer to your question as far as I am concerned is that "nobody really knows" or "flip a coin," as mentioned in a earlier response. About all I have accomplished, at this juncture, is to disprove some Robert/William candidates while identifying possible new "leads" As mentioned in Judge Eldridge's response, the parents of your William1 Eldred are almost definitely not Thomas Eldred and Anna Watson, of Ipswich. The will of Thomas Eldred, cited in Nelson Eldred's book, makes no mention of sons by the name Robert or William. On the possibility that this could be an oversight, or error, I had the appropriate Parish records and other documents from the Archives were reviewed. No records of sons by the name of Robert, and/or William for this family were found. Nelson Eldred, in his book "Robert Eldred of Yarmouth and Chatham, Massachusetts" published 1996, states that "it is believed that Robert 1 Eldred and William1 Eldred were brothers. Based upon this assumption they were both born in Winfarthing, Norfolk County, England" He lists Robert's parents as Robert Eldred and Joan of Winfarthing. Nelson's book "William Eldred of Yarmouth, Massachusetts," published 1995 states "William Eldred was born c1618, possibly in Winfarthing (3miles from New Buckingham), Norfolk County, England, the son of Robert and Anne Garnham." So there is a contradiction here. It may possibly be a clerical error in transcribing the script - 'Robert Eldred married widow Jo-Anne Clark of Banham, Jan 5 1633/4." Banham vs Garnham, that is. This Eldred family is cited in the manorial records of Winfarthing, which were provided in a Family Tree by my English Eldred contact. It has Robert1 cited in a disposition as born in 1601. He was also married (wife unk) and had children born 1633 and 1635. This places Robert1 in a much older age bracket than our immigrant was thought to be - not to mention an existing English family. Hardly fits marrying Elizabeth Nickerson in 1649 and subsequently fathering nine children. Unfortunately, there is a gap in the Winfarthing Parish records and no further information on William or Robert was found( e.g., will, marriage, death record, etc) William appears to have been the youngest of the family and is still considered a viable immigrant candidate. Henry, the eldest son of this family had a son named Robert, who was born in a more appropriate time frame to qualify as a "candidate." . There is no subsequent record of this Robert, until 1653, when he inherits his father's property. He is not physically present at "probate" but represented by a Lawyer. Was this Robert unable to be present because he was out of the country? Did Robert1 have a substantial financial windfall, from unknown sources, after 1753? Another possible contradiction. The book "Mobility and Migration - East Anglian Founders of New England" by Dr. Roger Thompson, has a reference to the "three Eldred brothers, Samuel, Robert, and William, who emigrated from Ipswich in Suffolk in 1635. Their family roots were believed to be in Knettishall on the NorfolkSuffolk borders." Robert Eldred that married widow Joan Clement had roots in Knettishall. The contradiction is that Samuel Eldred and his wife were married in Ipswich, Nov 25, 1640 and they appeared in Cambridge, Mass in 1641. Sooo - if he came over in 1635, he would have later returned to get married in 1640. Could have happened - not all that unusual.

In" William Eldred of Yarmouth, Massachusetts" by Nelson Eldred, he states that William Eldred was b. c. 1618 in Winfarthing (3 miles fron New Buckenham), Norfolk County, England to Robert and Anne (Garnham) Eldred. He emigrated to old Yarmouth, Ma. c. 1642 where he married Anne Lumpkin between 1645-1647 (daughter of William and Tamesin Lumpkin of Norwich, Norfolk County who came from England in 1637). Of the ten listed children, none was named William; the males were Elisha, b. 1653;Jehosophat b. c. 1658; Samuel b c 1655; John; Ezekial; Thomas. The male children of this second generation had no children called William. In "The Saxon House of Eldred" by Nelson Eldred, he states that William Eldred bap. 2 Dec. 1574, St. Mary-at-Quay, Ipswich m. and had Thomas Eldred b. 4 Feb. 1617, d. 1640 at Ipswich, of Ipswich and Barningham, Suffolk, Eng. m. Anna Watson, (daughter of Samuel Watson) buried 27 Dec. 1642, Ipswich. They had five children: Thomas b. 20 Dec 1617 (under his fathers Will he inherited the family home in Ipswich after his mother's life estate; I have been unable to find any record of him ); Charles b. 3 Oct. 1619 m. Susan Bridges 24 June 1629 in Ipswich and had Elizabeth bapt. 1 May 1642 in Ipswich; Samuel b. 27 Nov. 1620 m. Elizabeth Miller 25 Nov. 1640 at St. Mary's-at-Quay, Ipswich, emigrated to Old Yarmouth, Mass. 1640-1641 and died in Kingstone, R.I. c. 1697; John; Mary. The children of Samuel and Elizabeth Eldred born in Cambridge, Mass. were Elizabeth b. 26 Oct. 1642; Samuel b. 2 Oct. 1644; Mary b. 15 June 1646; Thomas b. 8 Sept. 1648; James b. 1650; John b. 17 Aug. 1659 at Chelsey, Mass.; Daniel b. 1663 at Wickford, R.I.

Hi! I would like to know about William Eldred, b. 4 SEP 1627 in Yarmouth, Massachusetts, married to Anne Lumpkin. Several sources say that his parents were Thomas Eldred and Anna Watson. Other sources say that this William was born in 1618 in England and his parents were Robert Eldred and Anne Garnham. Which ancestry is right or is this one of those ancestries where no one really knows? Thanks for any help! Nancy

Hi Leila, that would probably be about right. I found info about a James in Trimble/Carroll Co. Ky. Have to send for the book so I can explore it further. There was a Susan in the same book so maybe he came from Va with lots of other folks.
