David EDDY, born in New Jersey, came to OH while yet a single
man, in the year 1804 or 1805. He made a location in Euclid, Cuyahoga
county, and erected a log cabin there. The following year his father
and mother, with a son named Timothy, came on and took up their abode in
the primitive habitation already prepared by David. Caleb EDDY, the
father, spent the remainder of his days here, but David soon pushed on
further west , and joined the infant colony in Columbia. He "stuck his
stakes" on lot forty, and built his log house on the bank of Rocky
river. In the early winter of 1814 he married Elizabeth SHIRDLINE, of
Washington county, Penn., and about two years subsequently began pioneer
life in the little cabin previously mentioned. EDDY was a member of the
militia, and was an occupant of the block house. His life was one of
many hardships and of arduous toil. He died, on the farm on which he
first located, October 21, 1853, and his widow about a year afterward,
October 6, 1854. There children were four in number, two boys and two
girls, viz : Jesse, Enos, Susannah and Eunice. Jesse married Caroline
CHAMBERLAIN, of Rochester, Lorain county. He, Jesse, is now living
there. His wife died February 5th, 1855, leaving two children, Mary E.
(Mrs. MYERS) and Hattie E. (Mrs. MANN). Enos married Cynthia BRADFORD,
now deceased. Susannah married Myron BRADFORD, and both are dead.
Eunice married, first, Hiram BRADFORD, and afterwards Samuel HANLEY,
with whom she is now living in the township of Rochester.
