501	Dear Nelson, I hope you have plenty of e-mail space!! I am about to deluge you this evening with some papers. Your John Eddy and Jenny/Jensy/Jersey? Sprout got "their feet stuck" for awhile in some very significant early Winchester/Frederick County history. These papers are going to validate many things: they were in Frederick County, they were actually in Winchester for a period, they were fraternizing with the German settlers,etc. (and closely considering the marriage and church affiliation...and you may see more nuances based on your info.) I need to say some things about 2 significant people here: 1. T.K. Cartmell-this man was the clerk of the court here for nearly 25 years at the turn of the century. He tried to write a history for posterity of the area, the first to try to piece together an immense amount of material from records and experience.He was a remarkable man in many ways. His family home was at Round Hill. His own history spans an incredible period here and at some point I can send his autobiographical notes if you like. He took his responsiblities very seriously about records. I say this because on occasion an "error" is pointed out in his history first published in 1909. these errors are rare and when in doubt he usually remarked so. His history is invaluable and the info irreplaceable. We have to put in to context the devastation and record destruction of the surrounding areas here that occurred primarily through the Civil War to really appreciate his contributions. The sections of his book dealing with this era are first-hand, vivid, and sometimes ..yes..emotional. He witnessed constant strife and turmoil..Winchester "changed hands" over 72 times during the war, 6 times in one day! And so ...I just don't want anyone to think for a minute that his info is unreliable...far from it. I am going to send a chapter from his history about the next extraordinary person: 2. the Rev. Christian Streit. I tried to condense the chapter but I think you should have it all. He was the minister of course you have record of. I think I need to locate all of his marriage records. Not only did he marry your couple but the "remains" of the church they were married in is somewhat of a "shrine" here in Winchester. The walls of this church still stand just inside and to the left after entering the main gate of the Mount Hebron Cemetery here. Streit was buried in the church. (along one side of the area, Daniel Morgan and a half dozen of his original "Dutch Mess" are interred with him) This cemetery has tremendous history also, being consecrated soon after a major part of the Third Battle of Winchester took place on the actual site. Many noted combatants are buried literally "feet" from where they fell...but I regress) The article will show Streit's relationship with the church and these settlers. It is most certain your ancestors witnessed his sermons. Though not Presbyterian or Quaker, he was a big "draw" as he could preach and speak in English as well as German. An ideal personage to help consolidate these two large groups of migrants. Well, let me send the info for you to read and study Sarah Hi there...I have read your info and have been visually assimilating it with the Scotch-Irish history of the Valley. So many of the words in these abstracts jumped out from the page...I can tell you that these Eddy/s were on the early "cutting edge" ie. they were some of the first to see and experience the frontier...I have to try to get this into a decent "summary" for you. Antrim, Massanutten, west of Round Mountain looking like their homeland...etc. I believe the John Edy who went west of Round Mountain or Hill went a little further west than Loudoun County. {I will send a map, 2 copies: a copy I have darkened with a "picture it" program I have...if you can't print this one out for some reason..take the 2nd map and send it to your picture or photo program and adjust the colors with auto fix or such..that one will probably print for you. If neither do just leave them and let me know and I will fix another.} I tried to get some important things on one page..mainly the proximity of "west Of Round Mt." to Stephens City and a look at the west towards Hampshire Co. Va. NOW West Va. Hampshire was the "parent" county for Hardy, Greenbriar, and Monroe! This is the old "footpath" from Pa. to Georgia. It goes right down the Alleghenies and crosses the "tab" of Monroe County that is cradled by Botetourt Co. Va. this mountain crest is known as Peters Mountain and I believe it to be the mountain crossed by the 2 Edy/s. It has the distinction of having this one major crest running right across there..if you can check a topographic map site on the web you will see it very clearly (off the subject some but very interesting is the web site for "Hanging Rock" there is a raptor observation site and the photos of Hanging Rock are something to see..How these sites must have affected those first seeing them!!..well it's worth a side trip..now back>)Now back to the area west of Round Hill in Frederick County , this is part of the area that Jost Hite(with his Germans) and Robert MacKay( and his Scotch Irish) become under great pressure to settle families in. They had grants about 1731 to patent for 2 years..but they did not meet the deadline, they managed to get an extension until 1737 and they really needed to round up about 300 more families..this is were the ones that "John" the carpenter must have joined up with...1" on this map = 1 mile so you can see that these places are not as far apart as they seem. In fact the Simon Taylor that later sells property to James in "Stephensburg" is: 1. Scottish, 2. a friend of MacKay's, 3. gains a family relationship with Jost Hite, etc. and he helps with the recruiting, he also is from the area nearer Col. "King" Carter to recruit from there. These indentured "Englishmen" were somewhat of a habit with Carter, he got free labor, took a lot of their assets and would still have trouble paying his bills. If you visit the site for "Carter Hall" in Middleburg, Va. you will see an incredible estate with it's origins in tobacco payments from the "lower" class and proof of their craftmanship. We are seeing a classic example of Scotch Irish migration here..because... Hite and McKay essentially divided their acreage into German and S-I areas and although many of the S-I put down roots many of them didn't stay..they sort of continued to "wash" down the valley(through Shenandoah,Rockingham, etc.) leaving some descendants, customs, etc. in their wake, continuing to cross rivers and mountains and working their way into OH, Kentucky, etc. Among the reasons this occurred, known and unknown, was probably that Hite had a lot of the clout and his German settlers became solidly entrenched, there were parts of the Valley that hardly spoke anything but German for almost 100 years...anyway we see large numbers of these Scotch-Irish actually being the first in an area or community and essentially giving it up and over to the Germans or English after a period of time..it was an interesting phenomena..well, I'm going to close this "chapter" and send your maps with a question... I am assuming you are not certain which "John Edy/Eddy in all these abstracts is the father of James, is that correct?? Sarah	Eddy, John (I02548)

514	Deaths from the New York Evening Post, 1801-1890 9/17/1827 Today 16th inst Thomas Eddy, 70. http: /www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Downs/3548/facility/newgate.html The Irishman Thomas Eddy For New York to join the vanguard, all that was needed was someone to assert leadership. That someone was Thomas Eddy. Eddy was born in Philadelphia in 1758 to Irish immigrants. He later settled in New York City and, after achieving financial success as an insurance broker, was able to devote himself to his many philanthropic interests. He opposed imprisonment for debt, served on Quaker committees to aid American Indians, and helped found the House of Refuge for paupers and the New York Bible Society. In 1805, he helped establish a free school for poor children in New York City, a step toward a public school system. He was an active supporter of the New York Hospital and helped found the Bloomingdale Asylum for the Insane. But Eddy was chiefly known as a penologist and was called "the John Howard of America" by his contemporaries. Prompted by outbreaks of disorder in the New York City jail, he traveled to Philadelphia in 1796 with General Philip John Schuyler, the father-in-law of Alexander Hamilton and a member of the New York State Senate, to examine the Walnut Street Jail, founded six years earlier by Quakers and already famous as the foremost correctional institution of the times. Eddy and Schuyler were fully taken with the Jail's enlightened philosophy, its orderly and humane management, and its claims of success in bringing about safer conditions on the streets of Philadelphia. On their return to New York, it was short work to persuade the State Legislature to rewrite the penal code and to establish prisons on the Philadelphia model. Thomas Eddy EDDY, Thomas, philanthropist, born in Philadelphia, Pc., 5 September 1758 ; died in New York City, 16 September 1827. His parents, who were Friends, emigrated from Ireland about 1758. Thomas received a limited education, and in his thirteenth year was apprenticed to a tanner, but remained with him only two years. On 4 September 1779, he went to New York, being resolved to become a merchant, though his possessions only amounted to ninety-six dollars, and he was totally ignorant of business. He began by buying small quantities of goods at auction, and soon established a trade, but failed in 1784 through an unfortunate speculation, and about 1790 entered the insurance business, in which he made a large fortune. In 1796, with Philip Schuyler and Ambrose Spencer, he prepared a bill for establishing a penitentiary system, which was passed. Mr. Eddy had sole charge of the erection of the first building, and served as its director for four years, substituting cleanliness and discipline for former abuses. To Mr. Eddy is due the plan of providing a separate cell for each convict, instead of confining several together. He was chosen one of the governors of the New York hospital in 1793, induced the legislature to make liberal grants in its aid, and in 1815 was one of the founders of the Bloomingdale insane asylum. In 1798, with John Murray, he was appointed by the Society of Friends to visit the Indians in New York State, and did much to improve their condition. He labored earnestly for the construction of the Erie Canal, being second only to De Witt Clinton in his efforts, and was also one of the originators of the New York savings bank and the New York Bible society. His labors in these various directions earned for him the title of the "American Howard." He published a work on the " State Prison of New York " (1801). See " Life of Thomas Eddy" by Samuel L. Knapp (New York, 1834). Edited Appletons Encyclopedia, Copyright	Eddy, Thomas (I03213)

516	Dec. 23, 1907 John A. Eddy died at his home on Grant Street last Friday morning after an extended illness of heart disease. He had been a resident of Sycamore several years. The deceased was born in Dundee, NY. in July 1853, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Erasmus Eddy. The family became residents of this county when the son was 12 years old, locating first near New Lebanon. Next they moved to Dekalb where they lived five years. The remainder of the life of the deceased was spent in Sycamore. Mr. Eddy was united in marriage in 1875 to Arvilla Harmes who with four children survives. Erasmus E. of Sycamore, John Jr., and Mrs. F.A. Ford of Dekalb, and William of Los Angeles, Ca. A sister, Mrs. L.W. Oakley, lives in Sycamore. Mr. Eddy was a mason by trade, and followed his profession with success for many years.

522	Descendants of James Carlton Eddy Generation No. 1 1. JAMES CARLTON11 EDDY (HARNDEN10, ALLEN9, WILLIAM8, CALEB7, SAMUAL6, CALEB5, SAMUAL4, WILLIAM3, THOMAS2 EDDYE, THOMAS1 EDDY) was born Abt. 1824, and died Bef. 1851. He married JANE B. SLIGH March 13, 1843 in Upper Canada, Newcastle District 1810-1848 Vol. 7 Part 1, daughter of ROBERT SLIGH and ELIZABETH CLEGHORN. Notes for JAMES CARLTON EDDY: James Carlton Eddy and Joanna Sligh names was determined from the baptismal records of James Robert Eddy. James was baptized by Fr. Schmidt, in St Andrew's Cathedral, on August 11, 1895. His Godmother was Ida Woods, who became Charles Eddy's first wife, James' son. The baptismal record also stated they came from Scotia, Scotland. Therefore, we assumed that both Carlton and Joanna was also born in Scotland. My father's certificate of birth (file #6396) also stated that James was born in Scotland. According to the genealogy report of Karin Corbeil, James was born in Canada and his mother's first name was Jane, not Joanna. This must be investigated. On October 11, 2002 I made a visit to the Eddystone Cemetery, in Haldimand Township located in Northumberland County, Canada. Several members of the Eddy family are buried buried there. It was impossible for me to read most of the tombstones. Two tombstones were very clear. They included that of Harnden Eddy and James C. Eddy. Harnden's monument stated he daied on 9/23/1881 @ 85 years and 3 months. James C. Eddy's tombstone was a small flat stone which stated James died on 7/8/1867 @ the age of 48 years, 3 months and 13 days. His brthday would then be April 25/ 1818. Notes for JANE B. SLIGH: I have a problem with Jane Sligh's first name. My grandfather, James Robert Eddy, Jane's son, always claimed his mother's first name was Joanna. The name Joanna was also used on the baptismal records of James Eddy. The question remains is Joanna and Jane the same person? Jane's death certificate stated she died on 11/10/1905 and lived 82 years and 27 days. The space for months was left blank. This does not correlate with the birth date we have of October 23, 1823. The date of 1905 was double checked by the Muskegon County Clerk. The date was not 1906. The date 1906 was picked up from John Nelthorpe will. Again I say, the date of 1905 came from the death record as listed with Muskegon County. We have two census reports for the Nelthorpe family. They are as listed below: The State of Michigan census for 1884, taken on June 1, 1884, for Ottawa County Village of Nunica. Film #110 page 255 Nelthrope, John Head of Household age 54 born in England Nelthorpe, Jane Wife age 60 Born in Scotland Nelthorpe, Fred Son age 15 Born in Michigan Nelthorpe Son age 25 Born in Michigan Space for given name was left blank. Must have been their son Frank W. Nelthorpe. The census for 1890 was not available. The Federal Census for 1900 for Ottawa County, Village of Nunica, was taken on Jume 23, 1900. Enum. Dist.

SLIGH: Cause of Death: Paralyze Medical Information: Per Death Certificate Marriage Notes for JAMES EDDY and JANE SLIGH: Marriage of James C. Eddy and Jane Sligh on March 13, 1843. Ceremoney was wit. by Robert Sligh and Harden Eddy, both of Haldimand. Children of JAMES EDDY and JANE SLIGH are: 2.i.JAMES ROBERT12 EDDY, b. April 16, 1843, Canada; d. June 15, 1900, Unknown. ii.CHARLES EDDY, b. Abt. 1844. Notes for CHARLES EDDY: General Notes: A Charles Eddy is listed in the death Index for Muskegon County records, Book 2, Page 166. Died 5/15/1895 at age 39 years. The name of the parents were not listed. This Charles was born in Racine, Wisconsin. This is not our grandfather's brother. The 1870 Federal Census listed another Charles Eddy as follows: Charles Eddy age 39 M Head/Household born in NY Farmer Janet Eddy age 40 F Wife born in NY Mary Eddy age 5 F Daughter born im Mich. Census was taken on September 8, 1870 iii.MARY ELIZABETH EDDY, b. 1846; m. WILLIAM JAMES KEELER. Generation No. 2 2. JAMES ROBERT12 EDDY (JAMES CARLTON11, HARNDEN10, ALLEN9, WILLIAM8, CALEB7, SAMUAL6, CALEB5, SAMUAL4, WILLIAM3, THOMAS2 EDDYE, THOMAS1 EDDY) was born April 16, 1843 in Canada, and died June 15, 1900 in Unknown. He married EMILY VICTORIA HART August 12, 1866 in Gramd Rapids, Michigan, daughter of JOHN HART and CATHERINE UNKNOWN. Notes for JAMES ROBERT EDDY: James Robert Eddy Born April 19, 1843 Born in Scotia, Scotland, England,or Canada. I believe it was Canada. Per the birth records of John & Ella, James was born in Canada. Per the birth certificate of Charles Carlton, James was born in Scotland. According to the census records of 1870, James was born in Canada. According to the Mich. census records of 1884, James was born in England. According to baptismal records of James R Eddy, his father's name was Carlton Eddy and his mother's name was Joanna Sligh. They were from, Scotland. James was baptized on August 11, 1895 by Fr. Schmidt of St. Andrew's Cathedral. Ida Woods was his Godmother. The baptismal records supplied the above data on James' parents. The 1884 census was taken by the State of Michigan and James was living in a boarding house at 83 Spring St. Emily and the children was living at 114 Spring St. Emily listed James and his parents as being born in Canada; but, James listed himself and his parents as being born in England. The first records we have of James comes from the Grand Rapids City Directory in 1865. We assumed he walked into Michigan from Canada. It was common in those days to just walk across the national borders. According to the city directories of Grand Rapids, James and the family lived at the following addresses.

She may have lived with Charles or someone else in the city at that time. If she wasn't the head of a household she wouldn't have been listed. We think she moved to Seattle in 1909, because according to John's obituary went to Seattle in 1909. Ella and Emma did live in Montana for a short time, in or about 1902/1906. Emily moved to Seattle with her son John and her daughter Ella . She lived with Ella in Seattle until her death in 1913. 1880 Kent County, Michigan Federal Census Recor BIRTH Fathers Mothers NAME SEX AGE PLACE Birth Place BIRTH Place Eddy, James M 36 Canada England England Eddy, Emily F 37 Mich Ireland Ireland Eddy, Charles M 13 Mich Canada Mich Eddy, John M 10 Mich Canada Mich Eddy, Ella F 4 Mich Canada Mich More About JAMES ROBERT EDDY: Baptism (LDS): August 11, 1895, Baptized St. Andrew's Cathedral, by Fr.

Notes for EMILY VICTORIA HART: Emily Hart Eddy, (Emma) how I wish I knew something about her. Emma died in 1913, 14 years before I was born. My father was 60 years old when I was born, so anything he may have told me about his parents, would not have meant much to me when I was young. Too bad I didn't have an interest in genealogy before my father passed away. Born in 1842, Emily lived in Grand Rapids most of her life. The first record we have on Emily is the 1850 Federal Census of 1850 for Kent County. The family is listed on page 169-R. The census was taken on July 18, 1850. Emily was listed as being 9 years old. Her sister Eli was 11 years old and Susan was 5 years old. No street address was given for their residence. It stated they lived at the 34th dwelling and the 34th family on the census. After James passed away in 1900, Emily moved to Montana with her daughter Ella. It's not known what education she received. Per the Grand Rapids City Directories, Emily was first listed in 1860. She live at 114 Spring Street and was employed as a domestic. She would have been about 19 years old at that time. More About EMILY VICTORIA HART: Fact 1: 1913, Buried Calvery Cemetery, Seattle, Wa.

Marriage Notes for JAMES EDDY and EMILY HART: Per the Grand Rapids Eagle, James R. Eddy married Emily Victoria Hart on Sunday, August 16, 1866. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. P. Van Winkle. at the Fountain Street Church. The wedding was witnessed by Thomas S. and Eliza J. Robins. We assume Eliza is Emily's sister.

Rowe Hotel What more could you ask of a man, from the age of 13 he began his working career and worked till he was 83 years old. He worked until he was too sick to leave the house. As I recall this was two weeks before he died. The last two weeks of his life was spent in St Mary's Hospital, where he died early in the morning. In 1934 Charles was retired from the Pennsylvania R. R., as a result of a bill passed by the U S Congress, which retired older men in favor of hiring younger men. This law was passed because of the depression and so many men were out of work. Here was a man discriminated against because of his age. It was a tough life in those days. As a young boy I remember many days when my mother said, "Here comes Charley, I wonder if he found a job?" That statement was repeated many times. The last job he had was running a freight elevator at the Rowe Hotel. He was 83 years, not well and worked from 4:00 PM to midnight. I remember my mother asking me to pick him up one night because he wasn't feeling well and shouldn't have been working. He was so happy to see me, I will never forget it. It was a very cold night and he would have had to take a bus. That was close to the last days of his working life. What more could you ask of any man? Nothing, nothing, nothing. He gave everything he had to his family. He should never have worked the last few years of his life.

ANDREW'S CEMETERY G R Mich Notes for LYDA THERESA LIESVELD: My Mother, Lyda Theresa Liesveld Eddy, always a lady. In the past five years, two school mates of mine commented their remembrance of my mother to me. The comment I recall is, how elegant and attractive she always looked. Yes she did. She didn't have a lot of money to spend on clothes etc., but she always looked nice. Not a hair out of place. Another feature she had, was the fact she would never argue, with anyone. She would simply turn her back and walk away. My sister Frances and I talked about that the other day, (1/25/2002) and we both agreed, we could not ever remember her raising her voice in anger. If she got upset with us kids, she would simple say, wait till your father gets home. We never ever heard our mother or father argue. Lida Theresa Eddy was born on January 15, 1886 in Denver, Colorado. She was baptized Theresa Eliza Liesveld. Her father Jacob, wanted her called Lida. It was also spelled Lyda. This was a dutch name used often within the family. Lyda died October 10, 1978 and is buried at Woodlawn Cemetery, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. About three months prior to her death her, she fell from a broken hip. She was 92 years old and the hip just broke, which caused the fall. The last three months of her life was spent in Kent Community Hospital. Lyda grew up in Denver, Colorado. Her family moved to Grand Rapids, Mich. in late 1905 or early 1906. She was about 19 years old at the time. The family first appeared in the G R City Directories in 1906. Her first job in G R was with Millard Palmer Dept Store. From 1907 thru 1910 Lyda worked for Herpolsheimer Co as a sales clerk. In addition, Lyda did some part time modeling for the department stores. Late 1910 or early 1911 we believe Lyda moved to Denver with her cousin's family, the Snapp's from Denver. In 1914, Lida and her Aunt Theresa, along with Hazel, moved to Los Angeles. Hazel was not well and and they had hoped the change of climate would help Hazel. It did not help her. Hazel passed away at age 23 in 1917. Lyda had a great deal of love for Hazel. Almost to the day she died, my mother always talked about poor Hazel, with a tear in her eye. Hazel had died 61 years before Lyda, and Lyda talked about her so often in her later years. She truly loved Hazel. As I recall, Hazel had a very unpleasant life. The city directory for Los Angeles listed Lida for only one year, 1914. They lived at 1615 S. Figueroa, her occupation was listed as a clerk. Theresa Snapp was listed at the same address. Lida lived and worked at the following places: Year Residence Employer Position 1906 200 Hastings Millard Palmer Clerk 1907/10 200 Hastings Herpolshiemer's Clerk 1911/13 Denver 1914/15 1615 S Figueroa Los Angeles (per L A City Directory) Clerk 1916/22 250 Hastings Steketee's Clerk 1922 See Charles C.

Notes for JAMES EDDY: James Eddey-Eldest Son of John of Woodbridge James' will located in the NJ will section in Trenton clearly spells his name with the extra e. See footnote 8 for the text and the exact spellings. James Eddy, son of John, inherited land from his father in Woodbridge and died there. He and his wife are buried in the old Presbyterian Church burial ground (near the train station) in Metuchen, NJ. He is thought to have been a farmer in his early years, but then became a town official (like his youngest brother Samuel did in the Marsh Creek settlement) later on. His wife was from Scotland, as was his mother in law. The Scottish connections are quite strong. They were members of the Upper Presbyterian church in Woodbridge. William Simonson Eddy states at one point that they were Quakers! John William Edie writes in his genealogy (without references however) that James Eddy had frequent contact with the Edies living in the Marsh Creek settlement in PA. James is listed several times in the book "Woodbridge and Vicinity; The Story of a New Jersey Township", by Rev Joseph W. Dally. He is a moderator for the Freeholders' meetings. He is listed as keeping the records when the clerk, T. Gage dies. The only other item known about James is that he was a private in the Revolutionary War. He is listed on the DAR burial plaque in the burial ground in Metuchen, NJ as being a private in the Middlesex County Militia. We do not have much information about his wife, Mary Gach except that she has 11 children and is thought to be a Quaker by William Simonson Eddy. John of Woodbridge has 12 children, 10 from Elizabeth his first wife and two from Janet his second wife. Mary's mother's maiden name is Bloodgood. There are many Bloodgoods buried where she is buried. Contributed from website by Gary E.

GAVIN/GAWEN2 EDDY (JOHN1) was born February 17, 1720/21 in February 17, 1721 Woodbridge, NJ, and died Abt. 1781 in Bedford Co., PA. He married SARAH COTHEAL Abt. 1759, daughter of WILLIAM COTHEAL. She was born Abt. 1730 in Middlesex Co., NJ, and died Abt. 1785 in Bedford Co., PA. Notes for GAVIN/GAWEN EDDY: Gayon or Gavin Eddy, Third Oldest son of John of Woodbridge The following was taken from the Heady Family Newsletter. It is included in this document because it provides some information on Gavin, the third oldest son of John of Woodbridge. "The stream now known as Tonoloway Creek, but called 'Konolawa' by the Indians living along its bank and 'The Conolloways' by the white settlers, follows a meandering course through the southern part of present Foulton (sic) county, Pennsylvania, crossing the boundary line into Maryland about three miles before it joins the Potomac at a point just below that river's northernmost bend. The Big and Little Tonoloway Settlements lay about five miles north of the Potomac along branches of Tonoloway Creek and immediately west of the large and small basins named, respectively, the Great (Big) Cove and Little Cove. These settlements had been founded by a few Scotch-Irish Immigrants, at least one Welch family (that of Evan Shelby), and a band of Monmouth and Middlesex county, New Jersey families, which included those of Moses Graham, William Linn, Joseph Warford, Adam Stiger, John Melott, Benjamin Truas, Elias, Richard, Jeremiah Stillwell, Thomas Heady, GAVIN EDDY, Samuel Hedden the Coombs, Belieus, Applegates and, no doubt, others. Whether the Monmouth and Middlesex county families came as a unit or over a period of several years, is not known, but they were all there by 1765 or earlier. The precise date of the first settlement on the Tonoloways is difficult to establish. Some historians claim that settlers arrived as early as 1731, but others assert that 1741 was a more realistic date. The STILLWELL FAMILY HISTORY states that one source places Elias Stillwell, husband of Meriam Eddy and the older brother of Gavin Eddy, on the Tonoloways as early as 1735. Although that seems a bit early to us, other families can be proved to have been in the area by that time, so it may be true that he was there that early. The settlers purchased the land on which they settled from the Indians, and reportedly, had little trouble with them until 1750, in which year the Indians appealed to the proprietory government of Pennsylvania for the return of their lands, alledging they had been defrauded by a few trinkets and other items of little value, and drawing attention to the fact that settlement west of the Kittantinny mountains was a violation of the treaty in effect at that time. At length, the Pennsylvania authorities responded by sending out magistrates, accompanied by troops, to drive the settlers off their lands in the Great Cove. Most of the settlers pleaded guilty of settling on unpurchased lands, paid their fines and returned to their lands as soon as the magistrates left. Since the Little Cove and the Big and Little Tonoloways were on the borders of Maryland 'the magistrates declined going there, and departed for their homes.' After Braddock's defeat at Pittsburg in 1755, the Indians began raiding throughout the frontiers. They revenged themselves on the Great Cove on the first of November 1755, and raided the Tonoloways on the 28th of January 1756. According to the PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE issue of February 12, 1756, 'they killed and scalped James Leaton, Catherine Stillwell and one of her children were killed and scalped, and two others carried off; one about eight, the other three years old. Her husband was at a neighbor's house when his wife was attacked and from thence got into Coom's fort'. Catherine Stillwell was the wife of Richard Stillwell. There was also a great loss of cattle, and horses and many houses were burned. Apparently, about this time there was some attempt by Maryland, as well, to drive the settlers off the Tonoloways. A petition dated September 29, 1755, was sent to Governor Morris from the settlers setting forth that 'these few lines to inform you we are very much imposed upon by ye Sherfe of frederick county in meryland in Comeing to take our Lands from us by a Maryland Right which we have had surveyed by Mr. William Lyon Surveyor under Mr John Armstrong surveyor for Cumberland County in pensylvania Last Spring....said Sherive peter butler has got surveyed by bringing a Captain and a parcel of souldars to Gard him while he was do doing....Threats were made by him that in two or three weeks he would come back and take all the land from the Forks of Tonolaways Crick down to ye mouth thereof, and all goods, chattels, horses, or anything he could find.' The scanty Baptist church records are the best records we have of the members of the Tonoloway Settlement. Adjacent to the property then owned by ELIAS STILLWELL is the old Tonoloway Baptist Church which was attended by most of the settlers of British extraction and some others. Although the tombstones in its churchyard are its only extant records, they are often the means of connecting the pioneers buried there with their past. Unfortunately for us, there are no Heady stones, but many of the Stillwells and Truaxs still stand. Thus in their desire for freedom, privacy and an autogenous government, the settlers left few records of their early settlement along the Tonoloways. Once the Mason-Dixon line was established and the settlers were sure to which state they belonged, it became desirable for them to insure their claims to the land they had occupied for ten to thirty years. From the beginning 'with the exception of a brief interval from 1761 to 1768, the system of obtaining title to land in Pennsylvania was by warrant. Under this system the land applied for must be paid in advance, which, even at the low price of land, many were not able to do. To meet this difficulty and to encourage rapid settlement and 3 improvement, the proprietaries, in 1761, established a system of taking land on 'application' by which land was sold on indefinite credit, the purchase money running at low rate of interest, and to be a lien on the land. This system remained in vogue until 1769' and under it Thomas Heady and most of the other settlers obtained title to the land they occupied. That accounts for the fact that the warreant and patent were not issued on Thomas Heady's 117 acres until it fell into the hands of William Bishop and Bishop, in 1836, paid $26.00 to Pennsylvania for the purchase and interest."

She married Elias Stillwell, of English extraction, who was born in NJ in 1708 and died near Hancock, Maryland. Meriam survived her husband and died at the same place, October 19, 1803, aged 95 years. Both are buried in the Tonoloway Baptist Cemetery, near Hancock, Maryland. After marriage, Meriam moves with her husband to Maryland. They think that it is in Maryland but are surprised to find out that when the Mason Dixon Line is marked, they are north of the border. Meriam is not that far away from her father and her youngest brothers who make up some of the settlers of the Marsh Creek Area. It is very important to point out that even though they move from NJ, they are actually moving close to some of her family. A quick look at a Maryland map demonstrates the Marsh Creek settlement being less than 100 miles from Hancock, Maryland. And the Marsh Creek settlement borders Frederick County. Also in the same settlement is her younger brother, Gavin! Her husband, Elias Stillwell, was one of the organizers of the Tonoloway Baptist Church which was built in 1752 (and was baptized there in 1753 by the Rev. Samuel Heaton.) Both Meriam and her husband's tombstones were standing in the church graveyard as of 1938. The epitaph on Meriam's headstone reads (read) as follows: 'My loving mate I did survive, and, true, my age was great, I lived the years of ninety-five, but here, behold my fate.' Her marker is classic for the time period. Found on a website contributed by Gary E. Eddey, 30 Edgehill Ave., Morristown, NJ 07960 4 She was a Scotch woman who was a great doctress, and who judging by her handwriting was a woman of education and culture. Her tombstone says the following: In Memory of Mariam Stillwell Wife of Elias Stillwell Esq. Who departed this life Oct the 19th Anno 1803 aged 95 years, My loving mate did survive And true my ___ real (unreadable line) Where behold my fate (This inscription was sent to me by Scott Duncan email: maizeblue6@onemain.com on 19 May 2001) I went to the cemetery myself in July 2002 the marker is very faded but can still be read fairly well. I found the following inscription in a book entitled: "The History of Captain Nicholas Stillwell son of Lieutenant Nicholas Stillwell and his Descendants" by John E. Stillwell, M.D., published in 1930, Mariam Stillwell departed this life Oct. 19, 1803 aged 95 years My loving mate I did survive And true my age was great, I lived the years of 95 But here behold my fate.

Eddy, Daniel Clarke, clergyman, was born in Salem, Mass., May 21, 1823; son of Daniel and Martha (Honeycomb) Eddy; grandson of Daniel Eddy and Thomas Honeycomb, and a descendant of John and Samuel Eddy, who landed at Plymouth in 1630. He was graduated from the New Hampton theological institution in 1845, and was called to the pastorate of the First Baptist church in Lowell, Mass., Jan. 2, 1846, being ordained Jan. 29, 1846. In 1854 he was chosen by the Native American party a representative to the state legislature and served during his term as speaker of the house. He was afterward chaplain of the senate. In 1856 he resigned his Lowell pastorate to accept a call to the Harvard street church, Boston, Mass., where he remained until 1862. He was pastor of the Tabernacle church, Philadelphia, Pa., 1862-64; of the Baldwin Place and Warren Avenue churches, Boston, Mass., 1864-71; was settled at Hyde Park, Fall River, and again in Boston, Mass., 1871-81, and at the First Baptist church, Brooklyn, N.Y., 1881-96. The fiftieth anniversary of his ordination was celebrated Jan. 29, 1896. He received the honorary degree of A.M. from Harvard in 1855, and that of S.T.D. from Madison university in 1859. His published works include: Young Man's Friend (2 series, 1849-59); The Burman Apostle (1850); Lectures to Young Men; Europa (1851); Angel Whispers (1853); Heroines of the Missionary Enterprise (1854); City Side (1854); Young Woman's Friend (1855); The Percy Family, afterward called Our Travelling Party (5 vols., 1858); Waiting at the Cross (1859); Walter' s Tour in the East (6 vols., 1861); Rip Van Winkle's Travels (3 vols., 1882); and Saxenhurst; a Story of the Old World and New (1896). He died at Cottage City, Mass., July 26, 1896. Eddy, Daniel Clarke (21 May 1823 - 26 July 1896) The Young Woman's Friend, 1857, Wentworth. Born in Salem, MA to Daniel Eddy and Martha Honeycomb, Daniel Clarke Eddy graduated from New Hampton Theological Institution in New Hampshire in 1845 and served the First Baptist Church in Lowell, MA for ten years. He was also associated with the Tabernacle Church in Philadelphia, the Baldwin Place Church in Boston, and the First Baptist Church of Brooklyn, New York. Eddy married Elizabeth Stone in April, 1846 and raised a family of four children. In 1854, he was elected to the state legislature on the Know-Nothing (or American) party ticket and served as speaker of the house for a two-year term. Eddy then ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor of MA on the Prohibition ticket in 1876. Knownothingism, a nativist political movement of the 1850s, that exploited anti-Catholic, anti-immigrant sentiment, grew in strength through the middle years of the decade but fell apart with the election of Lincoln in 1860. Although Eddy's subsequent career was not in politics, he continued to express his Knownothing sentiments in frequent public speeches. For example, he spoke against the political strength of Unitarians in MA, and in the 1880's, he believed that there were Roman Catholic intentions to gain control of the United States through mass immigration and Vatican propaganda. He did not support, however, restricting immigration on the basis of religion. He advocated civil rights for black citizens and supported the temperance movement. Eddy was a well-known public orator and author of popular travel books and religious advice for young people. Among these books of morality are The Young Man's Friend (1850) and The Young Woman's Friend (1858). Waiting at the Cross (1869) concerns devotion, while both Daughters of the Cross (1855) and Christian Heroines (1881) examines the lives of women missionaries. According to Ernst, "Neither scholarly nor of lasting literary quality, these books nevertheless reached and inspired many Baptists and other Protestant Readers" (291). In the preface to The Young Woman's Friend, Eddy states, "It is the hope of the author that this humble work may contribute to the formation of honorable and beautiful human character, lead the mind of the reader to a higher conception of the aims and purposes of life, unfold and develop the graces that adorn and bless humanity and lead those who find no rest here to the great source of rest, the Redeemer and Saviour of the world" (Preface, 5). While Eddy does not explicitly state in his preface that his book is directed at women, it is clear throughout that he has limited his audience. He retells and reinterprets the creation of woman in the Bible chapter of Genesis: "He took the rib out of his side, instead of taking a bone from the head or foot, that Adam might be taught the equality, not the superiority or inferiority, of his wife" (14). He claims that "the constitution of woman, her physical organization, the structure of her material nature, show that she was not designed for hard, out-of-door service" (21) or military work (21) or politics (22) or the pulpit (22). "Where, then, is woman's sphere? At Home. Home is woman's throne, where she maintains her royal court, and sways her queenly authority" (23). Eddy illustrates all the roles of women; The Dutiful Daughter (Chapter II), The Good Mother (Chapter III), The Married State (Chapter IV), The Praying Mother (Chapter VI), The Unfaithful Woman (Chapter IX), The Sister of Charity (Chapter XI). Each role is illustrated by a biblical woman, such as Ruth, who serves as a moral example to other women. For example, The Unfaithful Woman, Delilah, demonstrates "the evil effects of curiosity, which draws out secrets which should not be known, and the fatal consequences which sometimes follow what is deemed the most innocent tattle" (186). The lesson to be learned from Delilah is revealed: "It is woman's mission to be true and faithful, kind and loving; and herein she gains her noblest power over her male companion" (183). Clearly, Eddy recognizes the importance of power relations and instructs women that they will become powerful by following the commands of the Bible. Ernst, Eldon G. "Eddy, Daniel C."

He was graduated at New Hampton theological institution, New Hampshire, in 1845, and in January 1846, was ordained to the ministry as pastor of the 1st Baptist Church, Lowell, MA, in which relation he continued for ten years. In 1850 he made a visit to Europe. In 1854 he was elected by the American or "know-nothing" party to a seat in the MA legislature, and on the organization of the house was chosen, quite unexpectedly to himself, to be its speaker. In 1856 he resigned the charge of the Church in Lowell, and in the interval between that year and the present has been pastor in Boston, Fall River, Philadelphia, and Brooklyn. In 1881 he removed to the last-named place, where he is now (1.887) pastor of a Baptist Church. In 1861 he again went abroad, extending his trip to Palestine and Turkey. Madison University conferred upon him the degree of D.D. in 1856.

Eddy, James, engraver, was born at Providence, R.I., May 29, 1806; son of Benjamin and Sarah (James) Eddy, and descended from William Eddye, vicar of St. Dunstan's church, Cranbrook, England, whose two sons, John and Samuel, came to PlymOuth in 1630. James Eddy was educated in the common schools and early showed talent in the use of the pen and fine tools, making when a lad of fourteen a copy of a bankbill, which was so accurate that an experienced shopkeeper thought it genuine until told by the boy that he had made it. He became a skilful engraver, and also showed ability in fine drawings for architectural purposes, in original portraiture and in copying paintings. Early in life he went to Paris to purchase a set of engraver's tools, and while there visited the art galleries and conceived an idea that good copies of famous paintings would sell readily at profitable prices in America. He invested his funds in that way, and the venture resulted in many subsequent trips abroad for pictures, the engravings finding large sales in the principal cities of the United States. His religious feeling and his desire to further the interests of rational thought, led him to build a chapel on land adjoining his homestead property in Providence, and by his will he left in trust a fund for the support of non-sectarian devotional services therein. This chapel was dedicated by him "To God, to Truth, and to all that ennobles Humanity," and was opened for public and permanent use. Dec. 1, 1889. His writings were edited and published under the title Thoughts on Religion and Morality (1891). He died in Providence, R.I., May 18, 1838. The First Church of Christ, Scientist	Eddy, James (I10428)

Dear Nelson, I hope you have plenty of e-mail space!! I am about to deluge you this evening with some papers. Your John Eddy and Jenny/Jensy/Jersey? Sprout got "their feet stuck" for awhile in some very significant early Winchester/Frederick County history. These papers are going to validate many things: they were in Frederick County, they were actually in Winchester for a period, they were fraternizing with the German settlers,etc. (and closely considering the marriage and church affiliation...and you may see more nuances based on your info.)
I need to say some things about 2 significant people here:
1. T.K. Cartmell-this man was the clerk of the court here for nearly 25 years at the turn of the century. He tried to write a history for posterity of the area, the first to try to piece together an immense amount of material from records and experience.He was a remarkable man in many ways. His family home was at Round Hill. His own history spans an incredible period here and at some point I can send his autobiographical notes if you like. He took his responsiblities very seriously about records. I say this because on occasion an "error" is pointed out in his history first published in 1909. these errors are rare and when in doubt he usually remarked so. His history is invaluable and the info irreplaceable. We have to put in to context the devastation and record destruction of the surrounding areas here that occurred primarily through the Civil War to really appreciate his contributions. The sections of his book dealing with this era are first-hand, vivid, and sometimes ..yes..emotional. He witnessed constant strife and turmoil..Winchester "changed hands" over 72 times during the war, 6 times in one day! And so ...I just don't want anyone to think for a minute that his info is unreliable...far from it. I am going to send a chapter from his history about the next extraordinary person:
2. the Rev. Christian Streit. I tried to condense the chapter but I think you should have it all. He was the minister of course you have record of. I think I need to locate all of his marriage records. Not only did he marry your couple but the "remains" of the church they were married in is somewhat of a "shrine" here in Winchester. The walls of this church still stand just inside and to the left after entering the main gate of the Mount Hebron Cemetery here. Streit was buried in the church. (along one side of the area, Daniel Morgan and a half dozen of his original "Dutch Mess" are interred with him) This cemetery has tremendous history also, being consecrated soon after a major part of the Third Battle of Winchester took place on the actual site. Many noted combatants are buried literally "feet" from where they fell...but I regress) The article will show Streit's relationship with the church and these settlers. It is most certain your ancestors witnessed his sermons. Though not Presbyterian or Quaker, he was a big "draw" as he could preach and speak in English as well as German. An ideal personage to help consolidate these two large groups of migrants. Well, let me send the info for you to read and study Sarah

Hi there...I have read your info and have been visually assimilating it with the Scotch-Irish history of the Valley. So many of the words in these abstracts jumped out from the page...I can tell you that these Eddy/s were on the early "cutting edge" ie. they were some of the first to see and experience the frontier...I have to try to get this into a decent "summary" for you. Antrim, Massanutten, west of Round Mountain looking like their homeland...etc. I believe the John Edy who went west of Round Mountain or Hill went a little further west than Loudoun County. {I will send a map, 2 copies: a copy I have darkened with a "picture it" program I have...if you can't print this one out for some reason..take the 2nd map and send it to your picture or photo program and adjust the colors with auto fix or such..that one will probably print for you. If neither do just leave them and let me know and I will fix another.} I tried to get some important things on one page..mainly the proximity of "west Of Round Mt." to Stephens City and a look at the west towards Hampshire Co. Va. NOW West Va. Hampshire was the "parent" county for Hardy, Greenbriar, and Monroe! This is the old "footpath" from Pa. to Georgia. It goes right down the Alleghenies and crosses the "tab" of Monroe County that is cradled by Botetourt Co. Va. this mountain crest is known as Peters Mountain and I believe it to be the mountain crossed by the 2 Edy/s. It has the distinction of having this one major crest running right across there..if you can check a topographic map site on the web you will see it very clearly (off the subject some but very interesting is the web site for "Hanging Rock" there is a raptor observation site and the photos of Hanging Rock are something to see..How these sites must have affected those first seeing them!!..well it's worth a side trip..now back>)Now back to the area west of Round Hill in Frederick County , this is part of the area that Jost Hite(with his Germans) and Robert MacKay( and his Scotch Irish) become under great pressure to settle families in. They had grants about 1731 to patent for 2 years..but they did not meet the deadline, they managed to get an extension until 1737 and they really needed to round up about 300 more families..this is were the ones that "John" the carpenter must have joined up with...1" on this map = 1 mile so you can see that these places are not as far apart as they seem. In fact the Simon Taylor that later sells property to James in "Stephensburg" is: 1. Scottish, 2. a friend of MacKay's, 3. gains a family relationship with Jost Hite, etc. and he helps with the recruiting, he also is from the area nearer Col. "King" Carter to recruit from there. These indentured "Englishmen" were somewhat of a habit with Carter, he got free labor, took a lot of their assets and would still have trouble paying his bills. If you visit the site for "Carter Hall" in Middleburg, Va. you will see an incredible estate with it's origins in tobacco payments from the "lower" class and proof of their craftmanship. We are seeing a classic example of Scotch Irish migration here..because... Hite and McKay essentially divided their acreage into German and S-I areas and although many of the S-I put down roots many of them didn't stay..they sort of continued to "wash" down the valley(through Shenandoah,Rockingham, etc.) leaving some descendants, customs, etc. in their wake, continuing to cross rivers and mountains and working their way into OH, Kentucky, etc. Among the reasons this occurred, known and unknown, was probably that Hite had a lot of the clout and his German settlers became solidly entrenched, there were parts of the Valley that hardly spoke anything but German for almost 100 years...anyway we see large numbers of these Scotch-Irish actually being the first in an area or community and essentially giving it up and over to the Germans or English after a period of time..it was an interesting phenomena..well, I'm going to close this "chapter" and send your maps with a question... I am assuming you are not certain which "John Edy/Eddy in all these abstracts is the father of James, is that correct?? Sarah

The Irishman Thomas Eddy

For New York to join the vanguard, all that was needed was someone to assert leadership. That someone was Thomas Eddy. Eddy was born in Philadelphia in 1758 to Irish immigrants. He later settled in New York City and, after achieving financial success as an insurance broker, was able to devote himself to his many philanthropic interests. He opposed imprisonment for debt, served on Quaker committees to aid American Indians, and helped found the House of Refuge for paupers and the New York Bible Society. In 1805, he helped establish a free school for poor children in New York City, a step toward a public school system. He was an active supporter of the New York Hospital and helped found the Bloomingdale Asylum for the Insane.

But Eddy was chiefly known as a penologist and was called "the John Howard of America" by his contemporaries. Prompted by outbreaks of disorder in the New York City jail, he traveled to Philadelphia in 1796 with General Philip John Schuyler, the father-in-law of Alexander Hamilton and a member of the New York State Senate, to examine the Walnut Street Jail, founded six years earlier by Quakers and already famous as the foremost correctional institution of the times. Eddy and Schuyler were fully taken with the Jail's enlightened philosophy, its orderly and humane management, and its claims of success in bringing about safer conditions on the streets of Philadelphia. On their return to New York, it was short work to persuade the State Legislature to rewrite the penal code and to establish prisons on the Philadelphia model.

Thomas Eddy

EDDY, Thomas, philanthropist, born in Philadelphia, Pc., 5 September 1758 ; died in New York City, 16 September 1827. His parents, who were Friends, emigrated from Ireland about 1758. Thomas received a limited education, and in his thirteenth year was apprenticed to a tanner, but remained with him only two years. On 4 September 1779, he went to New York, being resolved to become a merchant, though his possessions only amounted to ninety-six dollars, and he was totally ignorant of business. He began by buying small quantities of goods at auction, and soon established a trade, but failed in 1784 through an unfortunate speculation, and about 1790 entered the insurance business, in which he made a large fortune.

In 1796, with Philip Schuyler and Ambrose Spencer, he prepared a bill for establishing a penitentiary system, which was passed. Mr. Eddy had sole charge of the erection of the first building, and served as its director for four years, substituting cleanliness and discipline for former abuses. To Mr. Eddy is due the plan of providing a separate cell for each convict, instead of confining several together. He was chosen one of the governors of the New York hospital in 1793, induced the legislature to make liberal grants in its aid, and in 1815 was one of the founders of the Bloomingdale insane asylum. In 1798, with John Murray, he was appointed by the Society of Friends to visit the Indians in New York State, and did much to improve their condition. He labored earnestly for the construction of the Erie Canal, being second only to De Witt Clinton in his efforts, and was also one of the originators of the New York savings bank and the New York Bible society. His labors in these various directions earned for him the title of the "American Howard." He published a work on the " State Prison of New York " (1801). See " Life of Thomas Eddy" by Samuel L. Knapp (New York, 1834).

Descendants of James Carlton Eddy

Generation No. 1

1. JAMES CARLTON11 EDDY (HARNDEN10, ALLEN9, WILLIAM8, CALEB7, SAMUAL6, CALEB5, SAMUAL4, WILLIAM3, THOMAS2 EDDYE, THOMAS1 EDDY) was born Abt. 1824, and died Bef. 1851. He married JANE B. SLIGH March 13, 1843 in Upper Canada, Newcastle District 1810-1848 Vol. 7 Part 1, daughter of ROBERT SLIGH and ELIZABETH CLEGHORN.

Notes for JAMES CARLTON EDDY:

James Carlton Eddy and Joanna Sligh names was determined from the baptismal records of James Robert Eddy. James was baptized by Fr. Schmidt, in St Andrew's Cathedral, on August 11, 1895. His Godmother was Ida Woods, who became Charles Eddy's first wife, James' son.

The baptismal record also stated they came from Scotia, Scotland. Therefore, we assumed that both Carlton and Joanna was also born in Scotland. My father's certificate of birth (file #6396) also stated that James was born in Scotland.

According to the genealogy report of Karin Corbeil, James was born in Canada and his mother's first name was Jane, not Joanna. This must be investigated.

On October 11, 2002 I made a visit to the Eddystone Cemetery, in Haldimand Township located in Northumberland County, Canada. Several members of the Eddy family are buried buried there. It was impossible for me to read most of the tombstones. Two tombstones were very clear. They included that of Harnden Eddy and James C. Eddy. Harnden's monument stated he daied on 9/23/1881 @ 85 years and 3 months.

James C. Eddy's tombstone was a small flat stone which stated James died on 7/8/1867 @ the age of 48 years, 3 months and 13 days. His brthday would then be April 25/ 1818.

Notes for JANE B. SLIGH:

I have a problem with Jane Sligh's first name. My grandfather, James Robert Eddy, Jane's son, always claimed his mother's first name was Joanna. The name Joanna was also used on the baptismal records of James Eddy. The question remains is Joanna and Jane the same person?

Jane's death certificate stated she died on 11/10/1905 and lived 82 years and 27 days. The space for months was left blank. This does not correlate with the birth date we have of October 23, 1823. The date of 1905 was double checked by the Muskegon County Clerk. The date was not 1906. The date 1906 was picked up from John Nelthorpe will. Again I say, the date of 1905 came from the death record as listed with Muskegon County.

We have two census reports for the Nelthorpe family. They are as listed below:

The State of Michigan census for 1884, taken on June 1, 1884, for Ottawa County
Village of Nunica.
Film #110 page 255
Nelthrope, John Head of Household age 54 born in England
Nelthorpe, Jane Wife age 60 Born in Scotland
Nelthorpe, Fred Son age 15 Born in Michigan
Nelthorpe ** Son age 25 Born in Michigan

** Space for given name was left blank. Must have been their son Frank W. Nelthorpe.

The census for 1890 was not available.

The Federal Census for 1900 for Ottawa County, Village of Nunica, was taken on Jume 23, 1900. Enum. Dist. No 118, sheet no. 13.
Nelthorpe, Jane Head of Household age 76 Born in Scotland

The following census was listed for John and Jane's son Fred

Nelthorpe, Fred Head of Household age 31 b/1869 b in Mich.
Nelthorpe, Janette Wife age 24 b/1875 b in NY
Nelthorpe John Son age 6 b/1894 b in Mich

2. JAMES ROBERT12 EDDY (JAMES CARLTON11, HARNDEN10, ALLEN9, WILLIAM8, CALEB7, SAMUAL6, CALEB5, SAMUAL4, WILLIAM3, THOMAS2 EDDYE, THOMAS1 EDDY) was born April 16, 1843 in Canada, and died June 15, 1900 in Unknown. He married EMILY VICTORIA HART August 12, 1866 in Gramd Rapids, Michigan, daughter of JOHN HART and CATHERINE UNKNOWN.

Notes for JAMES ROBERT EDDY:

James Robert Eddy
Born April 19, 1843
Born in Scotia, Scotland, England,or Canada. I believe it was Canada.
Per the birth records of John & Ella, James was born in Canada.
Per the birth certificate of Charles Carlton, James was born in Scotland.
According to the census records of 1870, James was born in Canada.
According to the Mich. census records of 1884, James was born in England.

According to baptismal records of James R Eddy, his father's name was Carlton
Eddy and his mother's name was Joanna Sligh. They were from, Scotland. James was baptized on August 11, 1895 by Fr. Schmidt of St. Andrew's Cathedral. Ida Woods was his Godmother. The baptismal records supplied the above data on James' parents.

The 1884 census was taken by the State of Michigan and James was living
in a boarding house at 83 Spring St. Emily and the children was living at 114 Spring St. Emily listed James and his parents as being born in Canada; but, James listed himself and his parents as being born in England.

The first records we have of James comes from the Grand Rapids City Directory in 1865. We assumed he walked into Michigan from Canada. It was common in those days to just walk across the national borders. According to the city directories of Grand Rapids, James and the family lived at the following addresses.

Emily was not listed as a resident of Grand Rapids for several years, including 1901, and 1902 to 1905. She may have lived with Charles or someone else in the city at that time. If she wasn't the head of a household she wouldn't have been listed. We think she moved to Seattle in 1909, because according to John's obituary went to Seattle in 1909. Ella and Emma did live in Montana for a short time, in or about 1902/1906.

Emily moved to Seattle with her son John and her daughter Ella . She lived with Ella in Seattle until her death in 1913.

Notes for EMILY VICTORIA HART:

Emily Hart Eddy, (Emma) how I wish I knew something about her. Emma died in 1913, 14 years before I was born. My father was 60 years old when I was born, so anything he may have told me about his parents, would not have meant much to me when I was young. Too bad I didn't have an interest in genealogy before my father passed away.

Born in 1842, Emily lived in Grand Rapids most of her life. The first record we have on Emily is the 1850 Federal Census of 1850 for Kent County. The family is listed on page 169-R. The census was taken on July 18, 1850. Emily was listed as being 9 years old. Her sister Eli was 11 years old and Susan was 5 years old. No street address was given for their residence. It stated they lived at the 34th dwelling and the 34th family on the census.

After James passed away in 1900, Emily moved to Montana with her daughter Ella.

It's not known what education she received. Per the Grand Rapids City Directories, Emily was first listed in 1860. She live at 114 Spring Street and was employed as a domestic. She would have been about 19 years old at that time.

Marriage Notes for JAMES EDDY and EMILY HART:

Per the Grand Rapids Eagle, James R. Eddy married Emily Victoria Hart on
Sunday, August 16, 1866. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. P. Van Winkle. at the Fountain Street Church. The wedding was witnessed by Thomas
S. and Eliza J. Robins.

We assume Eliza is Emily's sister.

What more could you ask of a man, from the age of 13 he began his working career and worked till he was 83 years old. He worked until he was too sick to leave the house. As I recall this was two weeks before he died. The last two weeks of his life was spent in St Mary's Hospital, where he died early in the morning.

In 1934 Charles was retired from the Pennsylvania R. R., as a result of a bill passed by the U S Congress, which retired older men in favor of hiring younger men. This law was passed because of the depression and so many men were out of work. Here was a man discriminated against because of his age. It was a tough life in those days. As a young boy I remember many days when my mother said, "Here comes Charley, I wonder if he found a job?" That statement was repeated many times.

The last job he had was running a freight elevator at the Rowe Hotel. He was 83 years, not well and worked from 4:00 PM to midnight. I remember my mother asking me to pick him up one night because he wasn't feeling well and shouldn't have been working. He was so happy to see me, I will never forget it. It was a very cold night and he would have had to take a bus. That was close to the last days of his working life. What more could you ask of any man?
Nothing, nothing, nothing. He gave everything he had to his family. He should never have worked the last few years of his life. God Bless you Dad

Notes for LYDA THERESA LIESVELD:

My Mother, Lyda Theresa Liesveld Eddy, always a lady. In the past five years, two school mates of mine commented their remembrance of my mother to me. The comment I recall is, how elegant and attractive she always looked. Yes she did. She didn't have a lot of money to spend on clothes etc., but she always looked nice. Not a hair out of place.

Another feature she had, was the fact she would never argue, with anyone. She would simply turn her back and walk away. My sister Frances and I talked about that the other day, (1/25/2002) and we both agreed, we could not ever remember her raising her voice in anger.
If she got upset with us kids, she would simple say, wait till your father gets home. We never ever heard our mother or father argue.

Lida Theresa Eddy was born on January 15, 1886 in Denver, Colorado. She was baptized Theresa Eliza Liesveld. Her father Jacob, wanted her called Lida. It was also spelled Lyda. This was a dutch name used often within the family. Lyda died October 10, 1978 and is buried at Woodlawn Cemetery, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

About three months prior to her death her, she fell from a broken hip. She was 92 years old and the hip just broke, which caused the fall. The last three months of her life was spent in Kent Community Hospital.

Lyda grew up in Denver, Colorado. Her family moved to Grand Rapids, Mich. in late 1905 or early 1906. She was about 19 years old at the time. The family first appeared in the G R City Directories in 1906. Her first job in G R was with Millard Palmer Dept Store. From 1907 thru 1910 Lyda worked for Herpolsheimer Co as a sales clerk. In addition, Lyda did some part time modeling for the department stores.

Late 1910 or early 1911 we believe Lyda moved to Denver with her cousin's family, the Snapp's from Denver. In 1914, Lida and her Aunt Theresa, along with Hazel, moved to Los Angeles. Hazel was not well and and they had hoped the change of climate would help Hazel. It did not help her. Hazel passed away at age 23 in 1917. Lyda had a great deal of love for Hazel. Almost to the day she died, my mother always talked about poor Hazel, with a tear in her eye. Hazel had died 61 years before Lyda, and Lyda talked about her so often in her later years. She truly loved Hazel. As I recall, Hazel had a very unpleasant life.

The city directory for Los Angeles listed Lida for only one year, 1914. They lived at 1615 S. Figueroa, her occupation was listed as a clerk. Theresa Snapp was listed at the same address.

Lida lived and worked at the following places:
Year Residence Employer Position
1906 200 Hastings Millard Palmer Clerk
1907/10 200 Hastings Herpolshiemer's Clerk
1911/13 Denver

Notes for JAMES EDDY:
James Eddey-Eldest Son of John of Woodbridge
James' will located in the NJ will section in Trenton clearly spells his name with the extra e. See footnote 8
for the text and the exact spellings.
James Eddy, son of John, inherited land from his father in Woodbridge and died there. He and his wife are
buried in the old Presbyterian Church burial ground (near the train station) in Metuchen, NJ. He is thought to
have been a farmer in his early years, but then became a town official (like his youngest brother Samuel did in
the Marsh Creek settlement) later on. His wife was from Scotland, as was his mother in law. The Scottish
connections are quite strong. They were members of the Upper Presbyterian church in Woodbridge. William
Simonson Eddy states at one point that they were Quakers!
John William Edie writes in his genealogy (without references however) that James Eddy had frequent contact
with the Edies living in the Marsh Creek settlement in PA. James is listed several times in the book
"Woodbridge and Vicinity; The Story of a New Jersey Township", by Rev Joseph W. Dally. He is a
moderator for the Freeholders' meetings. He is listed as keeping the records when the clerk, T. Gage dies.
The only other item known about James is that he was a private in the Revolutionary War. He is listed on the
DAR burial plaque in the burial ground in Metuchen, NJ as being a private in the Middlesex County Militia.
We do not have much information about his wife, Mary Gach except that she has 11 children and is thought
to be a Quaker by William Simonson Eddy. John of Woodbridge has 12 children, 10 from Elizabeth his first
wife and two from Janet his second wife. Mary's mother's maiden name is Bloodgood. There are many
Bloodgoods buried where she is buried.

Notes for GAVIN/GAWEN EDDY:
Gayon or Gavin Eddy, Third Oldest son of John of Woodbridge
The following was taken from the Heady Family Newsletter. It is included in this document because it
provides some information on Gavin, the third oldest son of John of Woodbridge.
"The stream now known as Tonoloway Creek, but called 'Konolawa' by the Indians living along its bank and
'The Conolloways' by the white settlers, follows a meandering course through the southern part of present Foulton
(sic) county, Pennsylvania, crossing the boundary line into Maryland about three miles before it joins the
Potomac at a point just below that river's northernmost bend. The Big and Little Tonoloway Settlements lay
about five miles north of the Potomac along branches of Tonoloway Creek and immediately west of the large and
small basins named, respectively, the Great (Big) Cove and Little Cove. These settlements had been founded by a
few Scotch-Irish Immigrants, at least one Welch family (that of Evan Shelby), and a band of Monmouth and
Middlesex county, New Jersey families, which included those of Moses Graham, William Linn, Joseph Warford,
Adam Stiger, John Melott, Benjamin Truas, Elias, Richard, Jeremiah Stillwell, Thomas Heady, GAVIN EDDY,
Samuel Hedden the Coombs, Belieus, Applegates and, no doubt, others. Whether the Monmouth and Middlesex
county families came as a unit or over a period of several years, is not known, but they were all there by 1765 or
earlier.
The precise date of the first settlement on the Tonoloways is difficult to establish. Some historians claim that
settlers arrived as early as 1731, but others assert that 1741 was a more realistic date. The STILLWELL
FAMILY HISTORY states that one source places Elias Stillwell, husband of Meriam Eddy and the older brother
of Gavin Eddy, on the Tonoloways as early as 1735. Although that seems a bit early to us, other families can be
proved to have been in the area by that time, so it may be true that he was there that early. The settlers purchased
the land on which they settled from the Indians, and reportedly, had little trouble with them until 1750, in which
year the Indians appealed to the proprietory government of Pennsylvania for the return of their lands, alledging
they had been defrauded by a few trinkets and other items of little value, and drawing attention to the fact that
settlement west of the Kittantinny mountains was a violation of the treaty in effect at that time. At length, the
Pennsylvania authorities responded by sending out magistrates, accompanied by troops, to drive the settlers off
their lands in the Great Cove. Most of the settlers pleaded guilty of settling on unpurchased lands, paid their fines
and returned to their lands as soon as the magistrates left. Since the Little Cove and the Big and Little
Tonoloways were on the borders of Maryland 'the magistrates declined going there, and departed for their homes.'
After Braddock's defeat at Pittsburg in 1755, the Indians began raiding throughout the frontiers. They
revenged themselves on the Great Cove on the first of November 1755, and raided the Tonoloways on the 28th of
January 1756. According to the PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE issue of February 12, 1756, 'they killed and
scalped James Leaton, Catherine Stillwell and one of her children were killed and scalped, and two others carried
off; one about eight, the other three years old. Her husband was at a neighbor's house when his wife was attacked
and from thence got into Coom's fort'. Catherine Stillwell was the wife of Richard Stillwell. There was also a
great loss of cattle, and horses and many houses were burned.
Apparently, about this time there was some attempt by Maryland, as well, to drive the settlers off the
Tonoloways. A petition dated September 29, 1755, was sent to Governor Morris from the settlers setting forth
that 'these few lines to inform you we are very much imposed upon by ye Sherfe of frederick county in meryland
in Comeing to take our Lands from us by a Maryland Right which we have had surveyed by Mr. William Lyon
Surveyor under Mr John Armstrong surveyor for Cumberland County in pensylvania Last Spring....said Sherive
peter butler has got surveyed by bringing a Captain and a parcel of souldars to Gard him while he was do
doing....Threats were made by him that in two or three weeks he would come back and take all the land from the
Forks of Tonolaways Crick down to ye mouth thereof, and all goods, chattels, horses, or anything he could find.'
The scanty Baptist church records are the best records we have of the members of the Tonoloway Settlement.
Adjacent to the property then owned by ELIAS STILLWELL is the old Tonoloway Baptist Church which was
attended by most of the settlers of British extraction and some others. Although the tombstones in its churchyard
are its only extant records, they are often the means of connecting the pioneers buried there with their past.
Unfortunately for us, there are no Heady stones, but many of the Stillwells and Truaxs still stand. Thus in their
desire for freedom, privacy and an autogenous government, the settlers left few records of their early settlement
along the Tonoloways. Once the Mason-Dixon line was established and the settlers were sure to which state they
belonged, it became desirable for them to insure their claims to the land they had occupied for ten to thirty years.
From the beginning 'with the exception of a brief interval from 1761 to 1768, the system of obtaining title to land
in Pennsylvania was by warrant. Under this system the land applied for must be paid in advance, which, even at
the low price of land, many were not able to do. To meet this difficulty and to encourage rapid settlement and
3

improvement, the proprietaries, in 1761, established a system of taking land on 'application' by which land was
sold on indefinite credit, the purchase money running at low rate of interest, and to be a lien on the land. This
system remained in vogue until 1769' and under it Thomas Heady and most of the other settlers obtained title to
the land they occupied. That accounts for the fact that the warreant and patent were not issued on Thomas
Heady's 117 acres until it fell into the hands of William Bishop and Bishop, in 1836, paid $26.00 to Pennsylvania
for the purchase and interest."

3. MARIEM/MERIAM2 EDDY (JOHN1) was born January 25, 1708/09 in Woodbridge, NJ, and died October 19,
1803 in Hancock, MD. She married ELIAS STILLWELL. He was born Abt. 1708 in NJ, and died February 04,
1792 in Hancock, MD.
Notes for MARIEM/MERIAM EDDY:
Meriam (Maryan) Eddy: Secondest oldest daughter of John of Woodbridge
Meriam Eddy, second daughter of John Eddy and Elizabeth Edwards of Woodbridge, New Jersey, was born
in Woodbridge, New Jersey January 29, 1708. She married Elias Stillwell, of English extraction, who was born
in NJ in 1708 and died near Hancock, Maryland. Meriam survived her husband and died at the same place,
October 19, 1803, aged 95 years. Both are buried in the Tonoloway Baptist Cemetery, near Hancock, Maryland.
After marriage, Meriam moves with her husband to Maryland. They think that it is in Maryland but are
surprised to find out that when the Mason Dixon Line is marked, they are north of the border. Meriam is not that
far away from her father and her youngest brothers who make up some of the settlers of the Marsh Creek Area. It
is very important to point out that even though they move from NJ, they are actually moving close to some of her
family. A quick look at a Maryland map demonstrates the Marsh Creek settlement being less than 100 miles from
Hancock, Maryland. And the Marsh Creek settlement borders Frederick County. Also in the same settlement is
her younger brother, Gavin! Her husband, Elias Stillwell, was one of the organizers of the Tonoloway Baptist
Church which was built in 1752 (and was baptized there in 1753 by the Rev. Samuel Heaton.)
Both Meriam and her husband's tombstones were standing in the church graveyard as of 1938. The epitaph
on Meriam's headstone reads (read) as follows: 'My loving mate I did survive, and, true, my age was great, I lived

Eddy, Daniel Clarke, clergyman, was born in Salem, Mass., May 21, 1823; son of Daniel and Martha (Honeycomb) Eddy; grandson of Daniel Eddy and Thomas Honeycomb, and a descendant of John and Samuel Eddy, who landed at Plymouth in 1630. He was graduated from the New Hampton theological institution in 1845, and was called to the pastorate of the First Baptist church in Lowell, Mass., Jan. 2, 1846, being ordained Jan. 29, 1846. In 1854 he was chosen by the Native American party a representative to the state legislature and served during his term as speaker of the house. He was afterward chaplain of the senate. In 1856 he resigned his Lowell pastorate to accept a call to the Harvard street church, Boston, Mass., where he remained until 1862. He was pastor of the Tabernacle church, Philadelphia, Pa., 1862-64; of the Baldwin Place and Warren Avenue churches, Boston, Mass., 1864-71; was settled at Hyde Park, Fall River, and again in Boston, Mass., 1871-81, and at the First Baptist church, Brooklyn, N.Y., 1881-96. The fiftieth anniversary of his ordination was celebrated Jan. 29, 1896. He received the honorary degree of A.M. from Harvard in 1855, and that of S.T.D. from Madison university in 1859. His published works include: Young Man's Friend (2 series, 1849-59); The Burman Apostle (1850); Lectures to Young Men; Europa (1851); Angel Whispers (1853); Heroines of the Missionary Enterprise (1854); City Side (1854); Young Woman's Friend (1855); The Percy Family, afterward called Our Travelling Party (5 vols., 1858); Waiting at the Cross (1859); Walter' s Tour in the East (6 vols., 1861); Rip Van Winkle's Travels (3 vols., 1882); and Saxenhurst; a Story of the Old World and New (1896). He died at Cottage City, Mass., July 26, 1896.
Eddy, Daniel Clarke (21 May 1823 - 26 July 1896) The Young Woman's Friend, 1857, Wentworth.

Born in Salem, MA to Daniel Eddy and Martha Honeycomb, Daniel Clarke Eddy graduated from New Hampton Theological Institution in New Hampshire in 1845 and served the First Baptist Church in Lowell, MA for ten years. He was also associated with the Tabernacle Church in Philadelphia, the Baldwin Place Church in Boston, and the First Baptist Church of Brooklyn, New York. Eddy married Elizabeth Stone in April, 1846 and raised a family of four children. In 1854, he was elected to the state legislature on the Know-Nothing (or American) party ticket and served as speaker of the house for a two-year term. Eddy then ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor of MA on the Prohibition ticket in 1876. Knownothingism, a nativist political movement of the 1850s, that exploited anti-Catholic, anti-immigrant sentiment, grew in strength through the middle years of the decade but fell apart with the election of Lincoln in 1860. Although Eddy's subsequent career was not in politics, he continued to express his Knownothing sentiments in frequent public speeches. For example, he spoke against the political strength of Unitarians in MA, and in the 1880's, he believed that there were Roman Catholic intentions to gain control of the United States through mass immigration and Vatican propaganda. He did not support, however, restricting immigration on the basis of religion. He advocated civil rights for black citizens and supported the temperance movement.

Eddy was a well-known public orator and author of popular travel books and religious advice for young people. Among these books of morality are The Young Man's Friend (1850) and The Young Woman's Friend (1858). Waiting at the Cross (1869) concerns devotion, while both Daughters of the Cross (1855) and Christian Heroines (1881) examines the lives of women missionaries. According to Ernst, "Neither scholarly nor of lasting literary quality, these books nevertheless reached and inspired many Baptists and other Protestant Readers" (291).

In the preface to The Young Woman's Friend, Eddy states, "It is the hope of the author that this humble work may contribute to the formation of honorable and beautiful human character, lead the mind of the reader to a higher conception of the aims and purposes of life, unfold and develop the graces that adorn and bless humanity and lead those who find no rest here to the great source of rest, the Redeemer and Saviour of the world" (Preface, 5). While Eddy does not explicitly state in his preface that his book is directed at women, it is clear throughout that he has limited his audience. He retells and reinterprets the creation of woman in the Bible chapter of Genesis: "He took the rib out of his side, instead of taking a bone from the head or foot, that Adam might be taught the equality, not the superiority or inferiority, of his wife" (14). He claims that "the constitution of woman, her physical organization, the structure of her material nature, show that she was not designed for hard, out-of-door service" (21) or military work (21) or politics (22) or the pulpit (22). "Where, then, is woman's sphere? At Home. Home is woman's throne, where she maintains her royal court, and sways her queenly authority" (23). Eddy illustrates all the roles of women; The Dutiful Daughter (Chapter II), The Good Mother (Chapter III), The Married State (Chapter IV), The Praying Mother (Chapter VI), The Unfaithful Woman (Chapter IX), The Sister of Charity (Chapter XI). Each role is illustrated by a biblical woman, such as Ruth, who serves as a moral example to other women. For example, The Unfaithful Woman, Delilah, demonstrates "the evil effects of curiosity, which draws out secrets which should not be known, and the fatal consequences which sometimes follow what is deemed the most innocent tattle" (186). The lesson to be learned from Delilah is revealed: "It is woman's mission to be true and faithful, kind and loving; and herein she gains her noblest power over her male companion" (183). Clearly, Eddy recognizes the importance of power relations and instructs women that they will become powerful by following the commands of the Bible.

Daniel Clarke Eddy

EDDY, Daniel Clarke, clergyman, born in Salem, MA, 21 May 1823. He was graduated at New Hampton theological institution, New Hampshire, in 1845, and in January 1846, was ordained to the ministry as pastor of the 1st Baptist Church, Lowell, MA, in which relation he continued for ten years. In 1850 he made a visit to Europe. In 1854 he was elected by the American or "know-nothing" party to a seat in the MA legislature, and on the organization of the house was chosen, quite unexpectedly to himself, to be its speaker. In 1856 he resigned the charge of the Church in Lowell, and in the interval between that year and the present has been pastor in Boston, Fall River, Philadelphia, and Brooklyn.

In 1881 he removed to the last-named place, where he is now (1.887) pastor of a Baptist Church. In 1861 he again went abroad, extending his trip to Palestine and Turkey. Madison University conferred upon him the degree of D.D. in 1856. Dr. Eddy has published "Young Man's Friend" (1st series, Lowell, 1849; 2d series, Boston, 1859); " The Burman Apostle" (Lowell, 1850); "Europa," a book of words (1851); " The Percy Family" (5 vols., 1852); "Waiter's Tour in the East " (6 vols., Boston, 1861); "Heroines of the Missionary Enterprise" (1854)" "Angel Whispers" (Lowell, 1853); "City Side" (1854); "Young Woman's Friend" (1855); and "Waiting at the Cross" (Boston, 1859).
