• Name	Samuel EDDY  [1]
  	He is mentioned in the will of his father, from whom he received "one End of my Dwelling house and home lott and meadow belonging thereto Together with a lott of land dyeing between the land of John Paddock and John Weaton's land and also my Right of undivided lands or Commons within ye Township of Swansey and also my Sword. The reason why I give no Cattle to Samuel is: I gave him Cattle at the time of his Marriage and I also Give to my son Samuel all my Carpenter Tools and also all my iron working Gear,Horse chaines, plows, Carts and all Iron things belonging to husbandry work and furthermore I Engage my son Samuel to take full care of his mother to Provide all things necessary and Comfortable for her Subsistance and Support in this life Dureing the tine she Remains my Widow." (Bristol Co Prob 3.123) He spent all his life in Swansea, where he was a weaver. On Nov. 21, 1709, he sold to Hezekiah Luther, "land on the East Side of New Meadow River at Mattapoisett" (B.C.D. 6.1223) and again on June 9, 1715, Samuel Eddy, weaver, and Joseph Butterworth, yeoman, both of Swansea, sold to John Butterworth of Bristol, land in Mattapoisett, (B.C.D. 9.335). On Feb. 1, 1731, Samuel Eddy, weaver, and wife Sarah, sold land near New Meadow River (B.C.D> 24.152). Three other deeds (B.C.D. 25,354l 27,454l 27,255) show that Caleb's estate was partly on the east side of New Meadow River and also on the west side of Kickimuit River and he had also 60 acres near Capt. John Brown on the Highway from Kickimuit to Miles Bridge. Before his death he sold much of this property to his son. [1]
