- Hello Stephanie
So far, I am not sure of the ancestors of John Eddy married to Elizabeth Edwards. I have his father as Obediah, but I need that verified.
Here is a descendancy of what I have so far from Mary Eddy and Uzal Munson with notes included. I highlighted my father's section and mine in red. There is a bit of data on my father which will give you some explaination of the name change. This is to do with me being a Munson, but have the name Lamont.

From the Munson Record
Uzal enlisted as a private soldier in the Revolutionary Army, and is said to have been promoted to the officer of lieutenant; the First Church Register calls him "Captain". There is no mention of Uzal in the "Official Register," characterizing him as a Private in the Third Regiment of Continental Troops, Jersey Line. "He crossed the Delaware with George Washington in his flight," says David, of Indianapolis, and he adds-"I still hold the old powder horn that he carried through this war." Then this cousin, a boon companion of The Lightening, Orientalizes thus: "When he died, his funeral was near four miles in length, many people coming from a distance of one hundred miles."
D. R. M. writes: "Uzal went through the Revolutionary War, as most of his company was killed, with the officers, he stepped forward, took command of the remnant, and lead them through the Battle of Monmouth. For this great bravery he was promoted to Captain . . . He dropped dead, by apoplexy, on the road home from the Presbyterian church in Morris-town."
Isaac Canfield of Hanover, 2 April 1799, made a $440 sale to Uzal, and 13 March 1800, Uzal and Mary his wife, "of Morris-town," transferred to Abram Burnet 2 acres for $26.
Uzal was an iron-worker, hammering large lumps of iron into merchantable bars.
Uzal Munson was a Captain in the revolutionary war, enlisted Oct. 20, 1775 to Jan. 12, 1776 for Howell Co., New Jersey; He served one year in Jersey Regiment commanded by Lord Stirling; He was in Captain Silas Howell's Co., 1776-77; He lead troops through the battle of Monmouth; He crossed the Delaware with Washington.
Uzal and his father Solomon were both in the Revolutionary War. Both started of as privates in New Jersey and were in Captain Dickerson's company, Third Battalion, Second Establishment; Third Regiment.
Found in the book "Official Register of the Officers and Men of New Jersey in the Revolutionary War". By Will. S. Stryker. Trenton, NJ. 1872. (878p.):255
Uzal died of a stroke and congestive heart failure (palsy, apoplexy) and was well respected in his community as his funeral procession was "four miles long" -- according to the
Munson Record.

It is a plain frame building, and situated in the little hamlet of Zabriska, in section 22. The church is yet standing and in a fair state of preservation, and the passer-by would conclude that it was built by the Catholics, as the cemetery grounds are situated in the same lot close by the church".
