Karen,

Abraham Eldridge's wife was Amy Wilson. See below.

From "Documents Relating to the Colonial Revolutionary and Post
Revolutionary History of the State of New Jersey." First Series - Vol.
XXXVI, Volume VI 1786-1790. Edited by Elmer T. Hutchinson.

"1788, Dec 17. Eldridge, Obadiah and John, of Nottingham Township,
Burlington Co., Wards. Sons of Abraham Eldridge, of said place, deceased.
Having real and personal estate, they make choice of ther mother, Amy
Eldridge, as their Guardian.

Amy Wilson had a brother Abraham Wilson but I don't believe his will mentions Obadiah Eldridge. See below.

Documents relating to the Colonial, Revolutionary and Post-Revolutionary History of the State of New Jersey, (Vol. VIII 1791-1795), pg. ???.
Will of Abraham Wilson:
1795, June 245. Wilson, Abraham, of Pilesgrove, Salem Co., will of. Sisters, Sarah Brayman and Keziah Appleton each 60 pounds. Nephews, William Appleton and Abraham Wilson Eldridge, each 30 pounds. Nieve Rachel Rauzell, 30 pounds. To friends, Savory Toy and Sarah Morgan (eife of Joshua Morgan), each 20 pounds. To friend, Lydia Moor (daughter of Joseph Stonebanks, 5 pounds. To the Presbrterian Church of Pilesgrove, 5 pounds. Residue to Sarah Morgan (wife of Joshua Morgan). Executor - friend, Joseph Davis, of Pilesgrove. Witnesses - William Wallace, Edward Pancoast and Joseph Golden. Proved Dec. 24, 1795. Lib 35, p.322.

1795, Oct. 17. Inventory 575.5.2-3/4 pounds; made by Jacob Davis and William Wallace. File 2105Q.

Do you have a different source for Abraham Wilson's will?

Thanks,
Sherry
