Joshua was a cooper by trade.
Joshua married Hannah Stevens in 1708.
Joshua owned many acres of land in Rhode Island, the area was know as Cowpen Point. The Eddy family established a shipyard on the point. Many of the Eddy's were involved in building vessels and houses in the area. Within time the point took on the name of "Eddy's Point". A point jutting into the Providence River at the present corner of Point and Eddy streets. Appears on the Anthony Map of 1803.
A man of means, he does not seem to have taken any part in the political life of his town. Joshua was chosen to lay out a major road in Providence which is known as Eddy Street. His life was spent in cultivating his farm and in raising his large family of ten sons and one daughter. The children all married and raised families of their own.
The descendants of Joshua Eddy of Glocester, Rhode Island number more than those of any other Eddy of his generation.
The Eddy son's played important roles during the American Revolution.
The descendants of this Eddy line were strategic in helping to build this country after the Revolution. The Eddy's were known for serving our country and serving others. For this fact alone we can say they lived very honorable lives.
Children born in Swansea.
