Hi Alice and Everyone, The following was a query sent in by Landon C. Bell in 1930 to the "Virginia Magazine of History and Biography." "ELDRIDGE Three sisters, Emeline Thomas Eldridge, Lucilla Eldridge and Mary Eldridge, married as follows: Emeline Thomas Eldridge (b. Sept. 23, 1813, d. Feb. 22, 1843), married July 30, 1833, John Covington Hardy, of Lunenburg and Dinwidde Counties. Lucilla Eldridge married Richard Edward Thornton, of Sussex County, Virginia. Mary Eldridge married William Thornton, of Sussex County, Virginia. Wanted to know who were the parents of these sisters, and whether they had brothers and other sisters. Landon C. Bell, Columbus, Ohio." Source: Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Volume 38, 3 July 1930 In my notes I have John Covington Hardy (1798-1873) is the son of Charles (1772-1830 of Lunenburg County, VA) and Dorothy Bruce Hardy, and grandson of Covington Hardy and Catherine Buford. Does anyone have any further information on these three sisters? Specifically trying to connect a Eldridge/Buford connection to the 1850/1860 Morehouse, Louisiana Census. THANKS AGAIN, Donna
