William Eddy Memorial

Birth: Jun. 19, 1780 Death: Apr. 26, 1854

Son of Reuben & Rhoda Jenckes Eddy. War of 1812 Veteran. Married 1802 Nancy "Anna" Torrey. Father of Reuben, Rhoda, Jamison, Matilda, Anna (Amy), Seneca, George W., Lewis Leroy & Semon. In 1850 William was living with son Leroy and William's wife was living with son Semon, suggesting they were at least separated.

William Eddy, was born in Massachusetts in 1779, and was twenty-two years of age when he came with his father to Madison County. His wife was Miss Nancy Torey, daughter of John and Amy (Arnold) Torrey, whose family were of the Shaker persuasion. She survived her husband (whose death occurred at his farm in 1854, at the age of seventy-five) seven years, and was totally blind during all that time. She died at Chittenango, at the age of seventy-five. While not being extremely wealthy, they had lived in comfortable circumstances, having an abundance of the good things of this life. Their burial-place is at Merrillsville; but the grandparents were interred in Cazenovia, N.Y. Of the nine children born to Mr. and Mrs. Eddy, seven grew to maturity, five sons and two daughters; but only three are now living, namely: Seneca, of Manlius, N. Y., nearly eighty years old; Leroy, aged seventy-four, living on the old farm home; and Semun, who is the youngest.
