I’m looking for the parents and/or siblings of William Riley ELEDGE. b. 17 Sept, 1846
in Missouri. He is thought to have one brother -- John Richard ELEDGE b. Oct 1856
in Missouri. William Riley married Sarah Catherine Richardson on 03 July, 1875 in Glenwood, Mills County, Iowa. She was b. 07 March 1851 location unknown. The
children of William ELEDGE and Sarah RICHARDSON were:
George ELEDGE
Rhoda ELEDGE
Lizzie ELEDGE
Myrtle ELEDGE
John ‘Jack’ Riley ELEDGE (my grandfather)
Wesley ‘Hake’ Hayward ELEDGE
John Riley ELEDGE and Wesley Hayward were both born in Bethlehem
aka East Plattsmouth, Mills County, Iowa
I have one source that contends that William’s father is John ELEDGE.
I have a different source that contends that William’s father is Absolum ELEDGE
I have not been able to substantiate either.
I ask that if there is anyone out there that has any information on this family line, please contact me by email.
