On the 1870 LA Census, The Elijah Eldridge is my Eliabe Terry Eldridge. The Isaac Eldridge listed is the right age to be his brother Isaac H. (Huntley, probably) Eldridge. I have Isaac married to Esther Lee in 1879--no facts. An engineer?? I don't know. Their older brother James Thomas was a school teacher, so they may have been educated. Or, maybe he worked for the railroad. Their father was Jonathan Jackson Eldridge b. NC about 1806. His brother James E. died before 1856 in Anson Co., NC. Jonathan's father may have been the James Eldridge who sold property in Chesterfield Co., SC (right over the line) in 1813 to Enoch Little--Jonathan J. married Frances Pickett Little (Lytle.) These Eldridges were also associated with the Huntleys, Hubbards, Terrys and Picketts. I have found no indication that they are related to the Eldridges of Johnson County, NC. Donna, I really appreciated your gathering all of these facts for the rest of us. Thanks, Peggy Eldridge Kemp
