(Complete proof for thisidentification of the second wife is lacking, but it seems likely, sincein 1664 John's son Samuel had married Sarah, daughter of Gabriel Meade,in 1675 David Meade, son of Gabriel, married in Watertown, and IsraelMeade, another son, was said to have gone to Watertown [DChR 171].)

Boston 3 February 1709/10 in 85th year[Eddy Gen 29; King's Chapel 173], which would calculate to a birth about1625, but this conflicts with the baptismal date for sister Mary, who isconsistently listed first among the four daughters); m. by 1651 JohnMarion of Boston ('John Merion and Sara his wife' admitted to Bostonchurch 15 February 1651/2 [BChR 54] and 'John Merion son of our brotherJohn Merion' bp.

(The John Marionof Watertown who had 'Mary the daughter of John & Sarah Marrian buried 24(11) 2 mo. old' 1641 [WaVR 9] and other children born in Watertown in the1640s must be the man of that name who later appears in Hampton [GDMNH458]; the two John Marions may have been related.) v PILGRIM, b.

COMMENTS: On 29 November 1630 John Winthrop, in a letter to his wife inEngland, wrote about the recent arrival of the Handmaid at Plymouth, andreported that 'Edy of Boxted, who came in her, told me a fortnight sincethat he had many letters in the ship for me' [WP 2:319]. William Bradfordand the Assistants of Plymouth wrote to John Winthrop and the Assistantsof Massachusetts Bay on 6 February 1631/2 on a number of matters ofmutual interest to the two colonies, and spoke of 'diverse gone fromhence, to dwell and inhabit with you,' among whom was 'John Eedy' [WP3:65]. In March 1632/3 Winthrop reported that 'One John Edye, a godly man ofWatertown congregation, fell distracted, and, getting out one evening,could not be found; but, eight days after, he came again of himself. Hehad kept his strength and color, yet had eaten nothing (as must needs beconceived) all that time. He recovered his understanding again in goodmeasure, and lived very orderly, but would, now and then, be a littledistempered' [WJ 1:120]. On 22 September 1648 a balance was drawn in the accounts betweenWilliam Hudson Sr. and Lewis Kidby, and one of the items was 'for costgiven by the Court against his uncle Edey,' 3s. [Aspinwall 235]. JohnEddy of Watertown was uncle to Lewis Kidby, since Amy Doggett, wife ofJohn Eddy, was sister of Susan Doggett who had married Lewis Kidby,father of the Lewis Kidby of Boston in 1648 [Doggett Gen 16; Eddy FamilyAssociation Bulletin 4:118-22]. In a letter written from Hamburg on 25September 1649 to John Winthrop Jr., John Doggett Sr. explained that hehad included this letter in another 'to my brother Jno. Edy not doubtingthat he will be careful to convey it unto you' [WP 5:370; see also WP6:170, 286]. John Eddy was clearly known to the Winthrops before they left England.Eddy was in Nayland in the mid-1620s, just to the south of Groton, andthen apparently moved across the county line to Boxted, Essex, the parishof Rev. GEORGE PHILLIPS who came to Watertown in 1630. Birth: 25 Dec 1637 in Plymouth, MA Death: 27 May 1715 in Tisbury, Dukes County, Mass. Burial: West Tisbury Village Cemetary, Dukes County, MA Event: Apprentice Unknown 3 Apr 1645 Plymouth, MN of Francis Goulder,yeaoman Event: Apprenticeship ended Unknown 1658 learned the trade of Blacksmith The EDDY Family of Martha's Vineyard From pp. 32 - 34 of 'The Eddy Family In America,' 'A Genealogy Compiled by Ruth Story Devereaux Eddy, A.B., A.M. And Published Under The Direction Of The Eddy Family Association, Inc. In Commemoration Of The Three Hundredth Anniversary Of The Landing Of John And Samuel Eddy At Plymouth, October 29, 1630 Boston, Massachusetts 1930' (Fourth Printing, Braun-Brumfield, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan, 1990.) Provided by Karen Flanders Eddy and transcribed and prepared for the webby C. Baer, 1999. [Additional information in brackets compiled from Banks Vol. III.] John Eddy (Samuel, William), born Dec. 25, 1637, at Plymouth; died May27, 1715, at Tisbury, Marthas Vineyard, aged about 78 years (TisburyRec.) He married Hepzibah Doggett of Watertown, born about 1643; diedMay 3, 1726, at Tisbury, aged about 83 years. She was the daughter ofJohn and Bathsheba (Fay) Doggett. On Apr. 3, 1645, John was apprenticed by Samuel and Elizabeth Eddy toFrancis Goulder and his wife Katherine of Hobbes Hole, Plymouth, or as itwas sometimes called, Wellingsley. They were near neighbors. John musthave finished this apprenticeship in which he learned the trade of ablacksmith in 1658. In the records of Edgartown, Marthas Vineyard, underdate of Dec. 28, 1659 is the following record. The Town (then called Great Harbour) voted to pay the charge of theSmiths Transportation hither if he desires, this is John Edy of Plymouth.(Edgartown Records, I, 133.) On Oct. 22, 1660, he was the owner of one ofthe shares of land which was given him by the town (Edgartown Rec. I, p.147). On May 1, 1663 it was voted that John Edy, having remained threeyears in town should have a lot of 10 acres and a commonage with twoacres of meadow - the meadow lies about the pond at Miles Brook (DukesCo. Deeds, VI, 115). From these records it would seem that John went to Great Harbour in thespring or summer of 1660, and remained there from the time of hisarrival. In the Plymouth Colony Rec. (Vol. 11, p. 37) is a deed datedAugust 27, 1660, in which 'Aron Knapp of Taunton within the government of New Plymouth, husbandmansold to John Eedey of Hymn, blacksmith, ten acres of land, bee it more orless Scittuate and lying Neare unto the land of Nicholas White in theplantation of Taunton aforsaid hounded by the land of John Eddway,Carpenter on the Northwest side: by the Comons on the southeast side andthe Mill River on the end of it. At the end of this deed after thesignature and the names of the witnesses is the statement 'I John Eedeydoe by these presents make over this my deed to Daniell Makenny ofTaunton.' Thus it is probable that soon after the date of this deed Aug. 1660 andbefore Oct. 22, 1660 John went to Marthas Vineyard and became theblacksmith of this new settlement. John Doggett, his wife's father, hadpurchased land in Martha's Vineyard, and one of her brothers was there.It seems likely that this was another inducement for the young man to goto the Island. The records of Edgartown show that he became one of itsprominent men and took an active part in its life. He bought of John Dogget a plot of six acres for a homestead lot. Theexact location of this has not been ascertained, but it is supposed tohave been on the 'Line' (Sup. Judicial Court Files 4974 also EdgartownRec., 1, 4, 7). In 1662 he was chosen constable and became a member ofthe train band. During the period of dissatisfaction with the governmentof Mayhew, he, together with Thomas Dogget and a few others would notsign the paper showing disapproval (Banks Hist. of Marthas Vineyard, Vol.I). On Jan. 29, 1663, the neck or land called Quanomica was divided and JohnEddy, the following year, came into possession of one of the twenty-fiveshares. The following account is taken from 'The History of Marthas Vineyard' byCol. Charles E. Banks. He has made an exhaustive study of all the earlyfamilies on the Island, and is an authority on all matters pertaining tothe early history of the place. This lot was one of the five and twenty, just south of the cemetery onTower Hill, having a frontage of 142 rods on the harbor. As proprietor heparticipated in all the divisions of land during his residence inEdgartown, and in 1667 was granted one sixth of the West Chop Neck byGovernor Mayhew (Dukes Co. Deeds 1, 239). At this time the project forthe purchase of Takemmy was under consideration, and he entered intonegotiations with the three partners for admission as a proprietor in theproposed new settlement. Accordingly he offered his lands at Holmes Holeas an exchange for this right, as is shown by the following document:— Know all men by these presents that I John Eddy of the town ofgreat-harbour upon the vineyaard do for myself my heires and assignessell unto William Pebody Josias Standish and James Allin I say I do sellmy whole accommodations Iying at Holmes his hole being on sixth part ofthat which was bought of the Indians by thomas Layton of Rode Island andthis I do for and in consideration that the for s'd William Pebody JosiasStandish and James Allin are to lett me the said Eddy have five poundsworth of land at Takemmy at the same rate as they bought it of theIndians provided that the said Eddy demand it within two years after thedate hereofe as also they shall let me have one Lote among them to liveupon I the sd Eddy paying for it at the rate that they buy of the Indiansthe afores'd five pounds worth to be part of the Lote if I do not demandthe land and live upon it then to pay me five pounds at the end of thes'd 2 years the payment to made in current pay at prices current and inwittness of the premises I have hereunto set my hand this 29 of June1669. Memorandum - that the lot mentioned is to be one whole accommodation ofthe town now to be setled and that if ye town be not settled then thefores'd land at holmes his hole to be returned to me the s'd Eddy inwittness to all the premises I haye set hereunto my hand the day and yearabove s'd John Eddy (Tisbury Records, P. 17) Within two years the new township being an assured success, he wasgranted a lot by the propriet.'rs, on May 20, 1671, 'if he com accordingto compacicion,' Whereas we whose names are under written have obtained liberty of Mr.Thomas Mayhew to buy and purchas land within the bounds & limits ofTaakimmy upon the Vineyard this may signifie unto men that we willi;Pebodie Josiah Standish James Allen and James Skiffe have made purchas ofcertain lands within the above saide bound with a purpos to people orplant the same and inorder thereunto have devided the whole into twelvparses or shares payable to the charges of the whole purchas beside onelott for the mill one for a minister and one lott for John Eddy if hecome according to Compaccicion and we have admitted certain perssons tohave shares, etc. (Sup Jud Court Files, No, 4974, Boston) May 20, 1671. Thenceforth John Eddy, since he came 'according to compaccion' wasidentified with Tisbury till the close of his life. Eight years later hesold all his Edgartown properties to John Coffin, with the exception ofsome small divisions on the necks. (Dukes Deeds, 1. 318. Dated March 6,1679.) In 1680 he was a defendant in a suit brought by Simon Athearn fortrespass and defamation, and acted as a juror later in the same year.(Court Records, Vol. I.) He was chosen constable of Tisbury in 1683,1684, 1692; selectman in 1687, 1688, 1693, 1696, 1697, 1700; tithing man,1699; besides acting in several minor capacities on committees appointedby the proprietors or freeholders. His last public office was held in1711, when he was chosen surveyor of highways, being then in his 73rdyear. In May 17, 1673, he was one of the overseers of John Doggett's will. (SeeDukes Co. Deeds, I, 321.) John Doggett states 'I give my wife that Ð5 which I was to receive ofJohn Edy as part pay for the two oxen of mine he sold for Ð10. . . . Landat Aquampache, at Felixneck & Konomache and meadow at Sangekantackett tomy two daughters Elizabeth and Hephzibah & all cattle at the Vineyard.... With reference to my estate at the Islands above mentioned I desiremy loving friends, Isaac Robinson & John Edy my son-in-law to beoverseers of this my will.' In 1675 John Eddy's name appears on the list of whites, thirty-eight innumber, capable of bearing arms. His name appears many times in thedescription of lands belonging to others whose lands joined his, 'in theneck of land by John Eddys.' He was chosen with Joseph Doggett 'to bywhat land Thay can of the Indians for the uses of the towns within thetownship of tisbury. ' He was one of the two witnesses to sign the deedgiven by Josias 'Sachem of Tackomy ' when the tract of land known as theAdditional Purchase was made in Jan. 1671. When on Oct. 22, 1675 the'lands on the north side of the old Mill brook to the sound were divided'the fifth lot, about 24 rods in breadth, fell to John Eddy and theseventh lot to John Eddy and John Manter. The townsmen empowered James Allen and John Eddy to purchase from theIndians certain additional meadows. This they did on Dec. 24, 1681,purchasing from John Papameck Deeds, 1, 129). On Dec. 4 1689, it was agreed and voted 'by the freeholders of Tisburythat goodman robinson goodman eddy and goodman whitney shall procure yeold records that is to say all records of or in ye old books and loosepapers of consarnment sutch as they shall see convenent to cause them tohe entered en ye new boock and in s.' doing the town cloth ingage toanswer and pay them for all necessary cost and charge in and about thesame.' On Nov. 21, 1694 it was agreed 'and voted in a legal town meeting thatMr. Simon Athern, Thos. Look, John Edy, Joseph daggett and peter Robinsonare chosen a commity for the town of Tisbury for to draw up a petition tothe general assembly for an easment of their tax and for an addition ofLands unsettled to their township.' (Tisbury Rec., p. 26.) After the death of his father John Eddy of Tisbury entered into anagreement with his brothers in regard to the lands which Samuel had left.This agreement is in the Plymouth Co. Registry of Deeds, Book 7, p. 177.It is very important, because it is absolute proof that John Eddy ofTisbury was a son of Samuel Eddy of Plymouth, when to this deed is addedthe one which follows it below (Book 9, p, 264). Swansey, Octobr. ye 14th 1695 Be it knowne unto all Men by these presentsthat wee whose names are Under Written have joyntly Agreed And Concludedin And about some lands wch did appertaine unto our honored father Sami'lEddy late of Swansey Deceased And are come to a Full Conclusion of yeSame in Amongst ourselves wch is as followeth viz. that Zachariah Eddyarid Obediah Eddy Shall have all ye land wch is in And upon the East sideof Namasket Great River to them . . . wch said land is called and knowneby ye Name of Capt. Southworths purchase: And likewise John Eddy andCaleb Eddy shall have all ye land on ye west side of Namasket GreatRiver, called and knowne by the name of the Sixteen shilling purchase . .. wee the sd Zachariah Eddy Obediah Eddy John Eddy & Caleb Eddy havehereunto Sett our hands and Seals this Twenty Ninth Day of October onethousand Seven Hundred & Six and in the fifth year of that Reigne of ourSovereigne lady Anne Queen of England. This deed was acknowledged on ye11th day of … 1707 and recorded Dec. 1, 1707. I John Eddy of ye towne of Tisbury in Duks County . . . for Ten poundssell to Jacob Tomson of ye towne of Middleboro in ye county of Plymouth... all that my one half share of land in that purchase of Land commonlycalled ye sixteen shilling purchase, both divided & undivided lyingwithin ye township of Middleboro, aforsd; wch affore mentioned half shareof Land is ye one half of that Share of Land, wch did originally belongunto my hon'd father Samuel Eddy deceased & hath since been inpartnership between myself & my brother Caleb Eddy. In witness whereof Iye aforsd John Eddy have hereunto Sett my hand this 28th day of Sept.1711. Col. Banks states that John had provided for his declining years by anarrangement with his son Benjamin in 1706, by which all his property wasgiven to this only son on attaining his majority in consideration ofsupport during the remainder of his life (Dukes Deeds, II, 140). But thiswas destined to be broken by the early death of Benjamin in his 24thyear. By a will Benjamin, who had married, required his wife as executrixto see that the agreement which 'I have with my honored father andmother, John and Hepzibah Eddy touching their annual allowance shall bewell and faithfully observed.' (Dukes Probate, 1, 27). In the monthfollowing Benjamin's death, Hannah, the widow, evidently being desirousof being relieved of the support of the aged couple, transferred theentire property to John Manter, the husband of John's daughter Hannah(Dukes Probate, I, 27), in consideration of his assuming the 'Agreementbetween John and Benjamin Eddy to the value of Ð9 annually for thesupport of John Eddy and wife living in one end of the house.' JohnEddy's homestead was on the east side of the Old Mill Brook abutting onthe Mill Path on which it had a frontage of 160 rods. During the rest ofhis life John lived quietly. He gradually disposed of his severalscattered possessions to his various children, so that when he made hiswill on Dec. 24, 1714 he had very little property to bequeath. He and hiswife are buried in the West Tisbury Cemetery. The stones are in goodcondition and the inscriptions fairly legible. His will is printed in full in Bulletin No. 16. It mentions wife Hepzibahdaughters Hannah Manter, Beulah Coffin, and Abigail Eddy, grandson SamuelManter, son-in-law John Manter.
