Surname Saturday -- ELDREDGE (colonial New England)

It's Surname Saturday, and I'm "counting down" my Ancestral Name List each week.  

I am in the 8th great-grandmothers and I'm  up to Ancestor #1769, who is Sarah ELDREDGE (1655-1692) 
[Note: the earlier great-grandmothers and 8th great-grandfathers have been covered in earlier posts].

My ancestral line back through one generation of this ELDREDGE family line is:


1. Randall J. Seaver (1943-????)

2. Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983)
3. Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002)


6.  Lyle Lawrence Carringer (1891-1976)
7.  Emily Kemp Auble (1899-1977)

12.  Henry Austin Carringer (1853-1946)
13.  Abbie Ardelle "Della" Smith (1862-1944)

26.  Devier James Lamphier Smith (1849-1894)
27.  Abigail A. "Abbey" Vaux (1844-1931)

54.  Samuel Vaux (1816-1880)
55.  Mary Ann Underhill (1815-1883)

110.  Amos Underhill (1772-1865)
111.  Mary "Polly" Metcalf (1780-1855)

220.  John Underhill (1745-1816)
221.  Hannah Colby (1745-????)

442.  Joseph Colby (1707-1768)
443.  Abigail Worthen (1714-????)

884.  Joseph Colby (1680-1754)
885.  Anne Bartlett (1684-1721)

1768.  John Colby, born 19 November 1656 in Salisbury, Essex, Massachusetts, United States; died 06 April 1719 in Amesbury, Essex, Massachusetts, United States.  He was the son of 3536. John Colby and 3537. Frances Hoyt.  He married 27 December 1675 in Amesbury, Essex, Massachusetts, United States.
1769.  Sarah Eldredge, born about 1655 in Massachusetts, United States; died July 1692 in Amesbury, Essex, Massachusetts, United States.

Children of John Colby and Sarah Eldredge are:
*  John Colby (1675-1718), married 1702 Mary Frame (1675-1740).
*  Sarah Colby (1678-1720), married 1700 Daniel Flanders (1674-1735).
*  Joseph Colby (1680-1754), married (1) 1704 Anne Bartlett (1684-1721); (2) 1722 Mary Philbrick.
*  male Colby (1687-`1687).
*  male Colby (1688-1688).
*  Judith Colby (1690-1703).
*  Hannah Colby (1692-1703).

Information about the Colby family was obtained from:

*  David Webster Hoyt, The Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, Massachusetts ; with some related families of Newbury, Haverhill, Ipswich and Hampton (Providence, R.I., Snow & Farnham, printers, 1897-1917)

I don't have any idea who the parents of Sarah Eldredge are, and apparently, no one else has any information either.  A Sarah Eldredge was born  in 1650 in Yarmouth to William and Anne (Lumpkin) Eldredge, but she apparently married William Bentley and had children between 1675 and 1685 in Rhode Island.
