------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

William was one of the United Empire Loyalists. He was a private in the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Delancey Brigade (also known as the Delancey Battalions or the Delancey Cowboys.) The Delancey Brigade was formed by James Delancey in Westchester County, New York, while his cousin Oliver Delancey formed the New York Volunteers in Long Island, New York. The majority of the Delanceys emigrated to Annapolis Royal with James’ brother, Stephen Delancey.

In the mid 1780’s, William emigrated to Beaver Harbour, Charlotte County, New Brunswick, which was established by a group of Quakers in 1783. (See Esther Wright: The Loyalists of New Brunswick). On July 7, 1794, William stated he had been in Beaver Harbour for 10 years.

The ancestry of William Eldridge is unknown.  There are many theories and rumours, some of which are listed blow.

A family rumour states that William may have had a brother Barnabas who went to Nova Scotia. (See the lineage for William Eldred (Eldridge)). There is no evidence to support this but there may be evidence to disprove this claim.

William may have originated in Virginia and then moved to New Jersey.

It is possible that William may have descended from the Eldridge’s of Battle, England, as there was a William Eldridge born in Battle in 1755 and there are no further records of him.  If this is our William Eldridge, there are records of the family dating back to 1545.

The death record for Andrew Eldridge[Joseph2, William1] has Joseph’s place of birth as Exeter, Maine.  As William doesn’t appear on the muster roles for the Delanceys until 1777, and Joseph was born in 1776, this suggests that William Eldridge may have lived in Maine prior to joining the Delanceys.  Death records show there were many Beans living in the area around Exeter in the 1800’s, and they may have lived there prior to that time.  This would suggest that William’s wife was Sarah Bean.  (As Maine was part of Massachusetts until 1820, it could have been Exeter, Mass.)

William (1756 - 1829/30) married Sarah Bean or Behn.  (Several Behn families were among the Loyalists.)  They had 6 children (Generation II).
