Origins

From http://www.myancestrallegacy.com/Samuel%20Eldridge%20Will%20Probate...

There is something wrong with this genealogy link for Elizabeth. There was a Samuel Eldridge that
did marry Elizabeth Bryan as listed in "Marriages of Johnston Co., North Carolina 1762-1868" But could this Elizabeth Bryan not be the correct one? It appears from the IGI that Elizabeth was born in 1766.

Samuel's daughter Mildred Eldridge was born in 1753. Elizabeth would be younger than her own daughter. Mildred's husband Nathaniel Thornton was born 1746. Samuel's sister Martha was born between 1693 and 1709 according to the Samuel Eldridge 1709 will. The IGI gives a birth date for Samuel as 1738 If that is true then we have another problem. His father died in 1709.
