Is Ruth Harding b. 1775 the Ruth who married Nehemiah Eldredge in 1796?

Question

If this is the same Ruth, I'm wondering the source that shows she is the daughter of Thomas and Content (Howes) Harding. She is my 9th great-grandmother and I have been looking for her parents for some time. Thank you, Chris

Hi Chris, 

Which Ruth Harding are you looking at? I can see Thomas, just now sure which Ruth. I have some Hardings in my family too.

In Chatham the possibilities seem to be the wife of Nehmiah Eldridge, Mulford Badishall or Benjamin Holbrook, or perhaps someone else?

Let me know if I can help.

Hi Laurie,

The Ruth Harding I'm looking for married Nehemiah Eldredge/Eldridge in 1796. He was born Harwich 1775, son of Elnathan and Dorothy (Freeman) Eldredge. They had nine children, including my 8th great grandfather James Harding Eldredge. I've been unable to find Ruth's birth date or parents, so I'm wondering if she was the Ruth, daughter of Thomas Harding and Content Howes mentioned in the wiki info and what the particular source for that is. Thank you, Chris
