Probably not related, but the sister of my gg grandfather, Mary Ann Eldridge, was born about 1844 in Michigan or NY. Possibly sister of Amos (1840) and John (1842) and daughter of Clarissa (Brockway) and Edward. Amos and John use "Eldred" spelling especially after 1880 it seems. Amos remained in Victor, NY while it seems Mary Ann spend most of her life in MI, marrying twice, once to Charles Hayes and then William Conkrite. John also seems to have settled in MI. 1900 US Census has Amos in household with William, Mary and Charles (possibly her son). Posting this in the hope anyone is familiar with these Eldridges.
