Benedict Eldridge is said to be the son of an Englishman who came over with two brothers and settled in Cape Cod, Massachusetts in a 1894 publication The Leading Citizens of Broome County New York in a biographical review, commencing at page 431, for his grandson Galusha Eldridge. The review, seemingly sourced from Galusha, details how he was the eldest of 12 children of Zenas Eldridge, born in Duchess County, New York who had married Diana Heth.
