I am searching for
records to indicate Hugh Eldridge was the son of john
westley eldridge, but
have been unable to connect. Isabella had a brother
named hugh so ist is very possible as son by the same
name. She also had a brother named William.
Any information
on the above would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Steven R. Eldridge
