  • Name Robert Eldredge 
    Birth Abt 1624  Winfarthing, Norfolk, England Find all individuals with events at this location  [9, 15] 
    • (probably). I've provided the date based on his probable age at marriage. Some sources say he was the person on the Rose "Robert ________, singleman, age 37". I think he would have been too old to be the husband of Elizabeth and to be setting up a new farm on Monomoy at almost 70. Perhaps the age is wrong on the migration record (if that's, in fact, him), I've seen that for other individuals. Also, I would think it more appropriate that when he was a servant, he would have been fairly young.

  • Notes 
    • Of Plymouth, Massachusetts. He was listed to bear arms in 1643 in Plymouth where he lived until he went to Yarmouth about 1645. There he married Elizabeth. He was constable in 1657. The family later moved and lived on a farm north of Oyster Pond in what is now West Chatham on part of the property deeded to Elizabeth by her father. The first property deed in Chatham was executed in January 1661/2 when William turned over Elizabeth's farm to her.
