H. Eldred of Madison, Wisconsin, W. H. Eldridge of Twin Falls, Idaho, and Mrs. Anna Eldred Hubbard of Carrollton, Illinois 1940 Although I do not have it at my finger tips right now, I do have the address in my files. It does mention Jehosaphat ELDRED b, 6/12/1716 at Falmouth, Mass. d. 1801 at Warren Connecticut married 12/17/1747 -Elizabeth Swift b. 1/10/1727 daughter of Moses and Mary (Foster) Swift of Sandwich, Mass.
