One of the purchasers of Swansea. He set aside this spot, which is to lye and remain as a burying place for the families of said Eddys and for such of their neighbors as the said Eddys shall admit forever.

"To mark the resting place of his parents:
Samuel Eddy born in 1608, son of Rev. William Eddy, Viscar of St. Dunstan's Church, in Cranbook Co., Kent, England, and came on the "Handmaid" in 1630 to Plymouth, where he resided for fifty years. He died in Swansea, Nov. 12, 1687. Elizabeth died here on May 24, 1689, in her 82nd Year."

"To Record the names of his children:
Zachariah, John, Elizabeth, Samuel, Ebenezer, Caleb, Joshua, and Obediah.
This tablet erected by the Eddy Family Association, Inc. 1948."

This is my direct ancestor which I have documented through Colonial Dames of the 17th Century.
