I too am looking for Eldridge relations in Johnston Co. I have found a Samuel Eldridge listed on The 1790 Federal Census. Maybe he is the son of your Sameul. It listed the following information:1 male or female over 16;1 male or female under 16; 2 FWF and 6 slaves. I forgot what fwf is unless it's free white females.
My great-great grandfather was Troy Eldridge born about 1820 who married Susanna Ingram born about 1822. Their children were Julius, Eurastus, Martha, and James Kennethy (my great-grand father.) If you think your Eldridges are kin to mine I will share all the information I have with you.
I just remembered I have a sheet with some Eldridge info. on it.
This is a short version of this page.
Samuel Eldridge came to America in 1636, he patented land on Lowne's Creek in Isle of Wight Co.,Va.---Samuel Eldridge son of the first Samueldied in 1709 leaving minor children Elizabeth, Martha, William and Samuel. William died in Northampton Co, leaving a will in which he remembered "Bro. Samuel" then in NC. He patented land in Duplin Co. and lived in Johnston Co. until 1778. His son Samuel was the only Eldridge in the state at the time of the 1790 Census.
He had 3 sons, William Young and John and perhaps several daughter. One daughter Kitsey married Moses Lee who died in prison during the Civil War. Their two children were Eldridge Lee and Johnny Lee(F) who married James F. Peacock. After Moses died, Kitsey Lee married Jeremiah Lee, no relation to Moses. They had one child, Electa Lee who married John H. Ballance. They lived in Dunn which is in Harnett Co. That was the only page on the Eldridges. There were more pages but they were Missing. I hope this has been of some help to you.
