Elijah Eldridge was recorded in Carroll County, Indiana on the 1850 US census as a farmer born in Ohio. He was with his second wife Charlotte. His first wife is shown as Elizabeth Gibson on the 1920 death of their daughter Mary. He was at Washington in Washington County, Iowa for the 1860 census and seemingly died before the 1870 census when Charlotte was shown as the head of the household.
Note the male descendants of his son Edwin used Eldredge as the spelling of their surname. These incluse George Edwin Eldredge and his brother John Dorin Eldredge who were character actors in the film and television industry.
