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 "Woddbridge 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.

James married Gach, Mary on 29 May 1743 in Woodbridge, New Jesey. Mary (daughter of Gach, Thomas and Bloodgood, Elizabeth) was born on 11 Feb 1723/24; died on 8 Sep 1789 in USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
