As unusual as the name seems to be, there was another Elbridge Gary Morrell, who married a Margaret Reid - he was born 1812 in Maine and may have been an uncle to this Elbridge. Elbridge G. also had a son of the same name, born 1858 in Pike Co, IL.

There is an online database that says Elbridge married a second time to Mahala Green, 21 Jul 1881.
