Orrin Eddy was born on January 26, 1826 in Chautauqua Co., New York to John Phillip and Susan Hancock Eddy. Soon after the birth of Orrin, the family moved to Lorain County, OH and later to Washtenaw County, Michigan. In 1937, John bought land in London Township, Monroe County, Michigan which was later sold to Ephraim and Orrin Eddy. John also bought land in Augusta township, Washtenaw County and was living there with his wife Susan and daughter Susan during the 1850 Federal census.
A settlement was made in 1851 of property in the Estate of Hannah Eddy from Wausaw, Wyoming County, New York with John Eddy. Orrin's father John died abt 1855 reference tax records for London Township in 1855. It is believed that John is buried next to his wife Susan in the Raeighville (Poole-Townsend) cemetery in Section 3 of London Township. His mother Susan died on June 2, 1871 and is buried in this cemetery.
Orrin and Asenath apparently remained living in London Township, Monroe County after John's death as Orrin, Asenath, Myron and Calvin are listed in the 1860 census for this township. Susan Hancock Eddy, Orrin's mother also apparently remained in the area as she died and was buried in London Township in 1871. The Minnesota census records of 1965 indicate that Orrin was living in Amherst Township, Fillmore County and that his sons Myron, Calvin and Ethan had all been born in the State of Michigan. Orrin apparently migrated to Minnesota in 1863\64 during the time of the Civil War and was farming and working for his brother, Ethan in Amhurst Township where his bother had settled in 1853. Hulda, the only daughter of Asenath and Orrin Eddy was born in 1865 in Lenora, Fillmore County. The census records for 1870 also indicated that Orrin and his family were still living in Fillmore County at this time. However, the 1875 State census records indicate that Orrin and his family was now living in Delevan Township, Faribault County, Minnesota and was farming near Bass lake. On March 7, 1882, Orrin died and was buried thru the Presbyterian church at the Bass lake cemetery.
Asenath and her family then moved to Elk River, Minnesota where they are shown on the 1885 Census records. Calvin and his family moved to Sherburne County also and are listed as living in Big Lake. In the 1895 census, Myron and his family and Calvin and his family were listed as living at Big Lake. However, it is noted that Asenath's son Ethan had died sometime during 1883, location and cause unknown. Asenath remained in Sherburne County and died at her daughter Hulda Brown's residence on October 8, 1924 in Livonia Township. She is buried at the Orono Cemetery in Elk River along with Hulda Brown and her family. (Bruce S. Milton Research)
