James Eldredge jnr and Experience Sears, both of Chatham in Barnstable County,
Massachusetts, married on 21 Nov 1765. In May 1808 Experience Eldredge wrote a
note to the Judge of Probate in Hancock County requesting that her son Richard
Eldridge be appointed to administer the estate of James Eldridge. On 10 May 1808
Richard Eldridge of Buckstown in Hancock County, Massachusetts was appointed as
administrator in the intestate estate of James Eldridge late of Buckstown.
Buckstown was renamed Bucksport in 1817 and in 1820 Maine County became part
on the newly created State of Maine.
Caution This James who married Experience should not be confused with
James Eldredge born 8 Apr 1742, son of James and Ruth, who married at Chathan
on 2 Mar 1771 to Hannah Collins.
The children of James and Experience are thought to include;
Paul Sears Eldridge. On 2 May 1798 in Hancock County, Massachusetts, Mary Eldridge was appointed administratrix in the estate of Paul Sears Eldridge suggesting he died in 1798. On 5 Sep 1803 a guardian was appointed for Paul Sears Eldridge, Hannah Eldridge, Experience Eldridge and Rebecca Eldridge , minors under the age of 14 years, children of Paul Sears Eldridge, late of Bucksport.
Joshua Eldridge is recorded as the son of James and Experience Eldridge, born in Chatham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts on 16 Mar 1770 in record of births made by the town clerk for Bucksport. He was issued with a notice dated 27 Apr 1809 as an heir in the estate of James Eldridge being administered by Richard Eldridge.
Richard Eldridge of Bucksport, had published on 22 Jul 1797 at Bucksport the intention
of his marriage with Miss Temperance Whealdon, of Princeton. In 1808 he was
appointed administrator of his fathers estate.
Caution: Their children Richard W and Joshua are speculation, based only on circumstantial
evidence.
Joseph Eldridge is recorded at Bucksport in Hancock County, Maine in the 1850 census where he is shown aged 70, born Massachusetts. In the same household are Eunice aged 70 born Massachusetts, who is assumed to be his wife and Salomi aged 44 born Massachusetts and Joseph aged 37 born Maine who are assumed to be his children. Joseph Eldridge, the assumed son of Joseph Eldridge, died in 1858 leaving a will dated 23 Jun 1857 in which he mentions his wife Mary and sons Walter L and Joseph L Eldridge.
A David Eldridge, shown aged 45 born Maine, is also at Bucksport in 1850 with three people, Mary aged 18, Joseph aged 17 and Frances aged 13, all born Maine, who are assumed to be his children. This David is thought to be a son of Joseph born 1780, with his son Joseph named after his father. David is still at Bucksport on the 1860 census, now with his wife Elizabeth E and four daughters aged 7 and younger and his son Joseph aged 27 is also in the household. David died intestate in 1861 with his wife recorded as Elizabeth E Eldridge.
