Judith Eldridge was born 11 Mar 1742/1743 and christened 4 Apr 1743, Albemarle Parish, Surry Co., VA. [Source: Richards, Gertrude R. B., PhD, Register of Albemarle Parish, Surry and Susex Counties [Virginia], 1739-1778, The National Society Colonial Dames of America in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Richmond, VA 1958; reprinted, Southern Historical Press, Easley, SC, 1984.] Judith Eldridge and Mary Eldridge were twins. Should the birth place be changed to Surry Co., VA, or is there a source for a birth place of York Co., VA?

Eldridge-459 and Eldridge-224 appear to represent the same person because: Same year of birth, same husband, both lived in Virginia. Thanks for reviewing.
