ANOTHER EMAIL...with alot more info

it wasnt too long after my reply to mr Koop, that he emailed me back.
i didnt expect to have gotten such a quick reply. i figured hed process alot of the info i gave him and maybe sometime next week id have another email from him with a little more information.

he sent me a very LONG email...and it sounded as if alot of it was off the top of his head, perhaps he had notes sitting around.
he gave me more in depth info on the family line of ELDREDS

without going into the email as a whole, ill synopis it here for you.

mr Kooop believes that RICHARD T. ELDRED is the son of a SOLOMON/SALMON of NEW YORK

he hasnt been able to proove that fact as of this date, but thinks someone will have to see the last will and testement or probate records to know for sure.

several brothers names of the children repete for RICHARD T. ELDRED.
none of the other RICHARD ELDREDS whom live in NEW YORK had that as a factor.
and the location of SOLMON made the location of RICHARDS future wife easier.

mr koop has pictures of RICHARD T. ELDREDs grave in SAN PIERRE, INDIANA
(think to self, my grandmother was born in BRISBEE, INDIANA)
the tombstone is broken in half, but readable.
RICHARD T. ELDRED is buried with his wife:
HARRIET LOUISE MCRAY ELDRED HENDRYX

HARRIETS father (assumed) died young.
HARRIETS mother married: BENJAMAIN FRANKLIN MCRAY
mr Koop says " after RICHARD DIED HARRIET remarried ABRAHAM HENDRYX"
i believe he ment to say" after BENJAMAIN died harriet remarried ABRAHAM HENDRYX" the names make better sense that way.

mr Kopp states he has a picture of HARRIET with some of her children.

RICHARD and HARRIETS oldest son was Rev. OSCAR HORACE ELDRED a bretheren minister and farmer.
me Koop. is decended thru OSCAR HORACE ELDREDS line.

he states he has traced back in the family line from SOLMON ELDRED, as well. trying to find the connection from RICHARD and SOLMON, to be able to join the lines as one. hes traced as far back as the ealiest progenitor

mr Koop sis till trying to find a good contact in NEW YORK to locate the last will and testement or the probate of SOLMONs will.

he then stated hed be happy to share said information with my aunt and my uncle.

and was suprised to note that in all the searching of family lines i was a member of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints. (my grandmother was the first to join the church)

he uses the churches PAF system to do this geneology. (im still trying to familairize myself with it)

he then ends the email with a bit about the information and where its kept and makes not that he has about 20,000 names gathered!!!!

TWENTY THOUSAND!!!! i cant imagine having done so much geneology research that id aquire that much info about my family tree. AMAZING!!! hes very dedicated to this task.

i cant wait to get more info.

family tree as stated by mr Koop:

SOLMON ELDRED
-RICHARD T. ELDRED (related as son to SOLMON?)
married: HARRIET LOUISE BROWN MCRAY ELDRED HENDRYX
--HARRIETTEs mother was married to:
? ? BROWN (whom died young-assumed)
BENJAIMAIN FRANKLIN MCRAY (died)
ABRAHAM HENDRYX
---OSCAR HORACE ELDRED (RICHARD and HARRIETTEs oldest son)

so that a start, and tomarrow there will be more to post about.
