Hi Bryan, I saw your posting several weeks ago about Letitia (Lettice) Eldridge and Thomas Doane. The library here in Orlando has several books on Chatham, MA and Yarmouth, MA. I had copied the index for the Eldridge family on the two books about Chatham. I keep thinking that I would make copies of the entire books or look into purchasing them. I am going to do a separate posting in regards to the books on Chatham. Nothing but tons of info on the Eldred/Eldredge/Eldridge, etc. familes. I found Letitia (Lettice) Eldridge was in the two books for Chatham, MA. However, I took a look on my last visit to the library and did a lookup for you. I am sorry to say that it only mentions the marriage of Letitia to Thomas Doane. I was wondering, there is an Eldredge Public Library in Chatham, MA, has anyone ever written to them about further research? They have a webpage, I don't remember when I was looking at it, if they have an e-mail address or not. I saw in the archives several years ago someone had mentioned that they have an Eldredge genealogy section. What do you think? Have you found anything new about Letitia Eldridge? Maybe you could give it a try and let us know how it goes. Donna

Donna: Thanks for your response. I was just in Chatham two weeks ago for the Nickerson Family Association reunion but unfortunately we didn't have the time to stop at the library. I have nothing new on her and have copies of the Vital Records of Chatham, Mass. I suspect either she came from a neighboring town or the records simply don't exist. Anyone who has done any research on the Cape knows how many of their records were lost or burned in fires over the years. I think my best chance for success on this one is to get lucky and find a primary source document such as her father's will which makes mention of her. I will keep looking!
