Elisha ELDREDGE

Abt 1690 - 1754  (64 years)

• Name	Elisha ELDREDGE  [1]
  	Elisha was probably married in Truro and his son Mulford was born there, but by 1715 he was living again in Eastham, and about 1741 he removed to Mansfield, Ct. Owing to the church troubles at Billingsgate (Eastham), he had himself and children baptized in Truro, in 1727, where he is on the church records as "Elisha Eldredge Jr. of Eastham." He and his wife Dorcas were admitted to the church at South Mansfield, by letter, June 21, 1741. In his will, dated Dec. 12, 1751, and proved Nov. 23, 1754, he provides for the four sons and five daughters named below and signs his name "Elisha Eldredge." This spelling of the name has been adhered to by most of his descendants. His wife Dorcas, who is named in the will, was dead in 1756 when the estate was distributed. [1]
