Arnold Eldridge is recorded in 1866 in Johnson County, North Carolina in the United States in which he and Elizabeth Eldridge personally appeared before the Clerk of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions as "residents of said county, lately slaves but now emancipated, and acknowledged that they do cohabit together as man and wife, and that said cohabitation commenced on the 1st day of May 1856.".
Arnold Eldridge is recorded at Meadow in Johnston County for the 1870 census where he is with Betsey who is assumed to be the Elizabeth referred to in 1866. With them are five people recorded with the same surname between 12 years and 3 months of age who are assumed to be their children. They are all recorded as being of black colour. In the 1880 census at the same location Arnold and Betsey are recorded with eight children aged between 23 and 1 and a grandson Joseph F Eldridge aged 1.
In the 1900 census for Grantham in Wayne County, North Carolina Arnold and Betsey are recorded
with two children and five grandchildren comprising Joseph F, Ellen, Effie, John R and Lola P, all
with an Eldridge surname.
CAUTION : Conjecture has been used in recording the parents of a number of these grandchildren
where the mother or father is recorded as (speculation).
