    Daniel was born in the Narragansett Country and as a young man lived in Kingstowne-Wickford where he was a farmer. He moved across the Rhode Island boundary (ca 1705) and lived in nearby Stonington, Connecticutt. He returned to Rhode Island in 1713 with his wife and ten children to the area called
    North Kingstown, where he spent the rest of his life as a farmer, militia officer, and public servant. Entries concerning Daniel's life include:

    dwelling house where he resided, and mentions sons Daniel of Stonington; sons James and Thomas; daughters Abigail, Mary, Freelove, Hannah and Sarah.
    24 Dec 1750 Will of Mary Eldred, widow of Daniel Eldred, was probated.

    56 x. Richard, born 9 April 1712, Stonington; drowned at se4a, ca 1749;
    unmarried. The probate records of North Kingstown include this entry on August 11, 1752: "The town Council of North Kingstown (Rhode Island) having received information that Richard Eldredge, late of North Kingstown, had been absent and unheard of for above three years past and having while he
    lived goods, chattels, etc." Administration of his estate was granted to Nicholas Northup of sd. North Kingstown.

    Some say that Capt. Daniel Eldredge married Mary Philips.
    I'm not sure that this is the correct Daniel.

    Rhode Island shows that Mary Philips married Daniel Eldred Jan. 10, 1799.

    So until I can find further proof that Capt. Daniel Eldredge wife is Mary Philips, I will show is wife as unknown.
