Biography

Ann was born on 21 January 1832 in Preble County, Ohio.^[1] She was the daughter of Henry Beane and Elizabeth Penrod.

Ann married David Eldridge in Elkhart County, Indiana, on 6 April 1848, two days after their marriage license was issued.^[2]

In the 1850 census A. M. (age 19) and David (age 27) were living in Middlebury Township, Elkhart, Indiana, with a one-year-old boy, name given as F.M.^[3]

By 1860, Ann (age 29) and David (age 34) was in Clinton Township, Elkhart, Indiana. (This record is indexed as Elrage.) The household also included:^[4]

• Thomas (age 10)
• Joseph (age 6)
• Josephine (age unreadable)

The family was found in 1870 in Goshen, Elkhart, Indiana, with Anna (age 39) and David (age 49). Also in the home:^[5]

• Thomas (age 21)
• Joseph (age )18
• Josephine (age 11)
• Celson (age 7)
• Samuel (age 2)

Margaret, wife of David Eldridge, died on 20 January 1897 in Goshen, Elkhart, Indiana. She was buried "at Millersburg," likely the place called Millersburg just south of Goshen, Elkhart, Indiana. ^[1]There are at least 3 cemeteries in that area, none called Millersburg.

Research Notes

• The obituary for Ann Margaret Beane Eldridge indicates that she died on 20 January 1897, and says that if she had lived one day longer, she would have passed her 65 milestone. It also states her birth date as 21 January 1832. More research is needed to verify her birth date.

• Ann's son, "F.M." in the 1850 Census, may be Thomas M. Eldridge. More research is needed.

• Ann's son "Celson" in the 1870 Census, may be her son William. More research is needed.

• The newspaper obituaries for Ann and David, shown on their FG profiles, are unsourced. More research is needed to find these items.

• Millersburg is a place in Elkhart County, Indiana. There are three cemeteries listed on the Elkhart County Genealogy Society website in this Millersburg, none of them named Millersburg. The FG references for Ann and David Eldridge in a Millersburg Cemetery in Warrick County, Indiana (at the other end of the state), are likely inaccurate. No markers for either have been found in any Elkhart County cemetery. More research is needed.
