Omri Edy was born to Daniel Eddy and Sarah Jones along the Connecticut and Vermont border on July 11, 1780. His siblings include Newbury Edy (1788-1840); Joyce Eddy (d.1774); Daniel Eddy (?); and Benjamin Eddy (?).
Omri's parents were British Loyalists. Daniel Eady/Edy/Eddy fought with King's Royal Rangers. He settled his family during the Revolution in Vermont & Connecticut. He moved his family to Clarenceville, Quebec in 1783.
In 1784, Omri's father Daniel was killed, by an indigenous native, on his way home. His wife Sarah Jones remarried George Starr, but she did not live long after dying in 1788. The children essentially became orphaned and their whereabouts remain unknown for the rest of the 1700s. The Edy's of Canada are mainly the descendents of two of Daniel and Sarah Eady/Edy/Eddy's children, Newbury and Omri.
Omri Edy and Mary "Polly" Glover were married around1803 before the birth of their first 9 children. The children are as follows: Sarah (Edy) Treanor (1803-?); Lucy Ann (Edy) Bingham (1806-1881); Minerva S (Edy) Treanor (1807-1876); Daniel D Edy (1809-1867); Andrew Newcombe Edy (1810-1882); William Edy (?); Sidney Edy (1816-1884); Anise Edy (?); Marie Edy (?); Newbury Edy (?) and (?).
Between 1815 and 1820, Omri Edy petitioned for land as a SUE (Son of a United Empire Loyalist) in the Hawkesbury area of Quebec then moved with his family to Burford Gore, Upper Canada (later, Oakland twp, Brant County, Ontario) where he bought land and settled at lot II, concession II.
A stone marker remains at the Pioneer Cemetery in Oakland Ontario recording his death as April 21, 1853, next to the stone memorializing his wife Polly. Best of all, our family archives includes a wonderful early photograph of Omri taken shortly before his death. Perhaps the wonder of capturing a grandfather for eternity inspired William D. Edy to pursue a profession pioneering techniques in photography. By G. Patrick MacKay (More info about Omri Edy at WikiTree.)
