Samuel EDDY-10997 was born on 15 May 1608 in Cranbrooke, Kent, England. He died on 12 Nov 1687 in Swansea, Bristol, Massachusetts. He was buried in Old Swansea Burying Ground, Swansea, Bristol, Massachusetts. Samuel married (MRIN:5780) Elizabeth SAVERY-10998 in 1630 in England.

BIOGRAPHY: Samuel's father died when he was young, so his brother Phineas was given responsibility for his education. He was trained as a tailor before receiving his inheritance at the age of 22. As he traved to the colonies the same year, the £100 was probably used for his passage. Records as to where he lived before emigrating are lost, so it is unknown whether he married before or after.[1]
On 10 Aug 1630, he left London with his brother John aboard the Handmaid. They put in at Plymouth on 29 October. [2] They tried to settle at Boston, but they had no papers allowing them to leave Plymouth. John eventually acquired his papers, but Samuel stayed in Plymouth. [3] He bought house and land from Experience Mitchell in Plymouth in 1631 for £20.[4] He was admitted as a freeman in Plymouth on 1 Jan 1633/34, and appears on lists of freeman through 1670.[5]
The Eddy Family genealogy notes that apparently work as a tailor wasn't available or profitable, as he was listed among the "poore of the towne" several times during the 1630s and 40s. [6] However, Great Migration does not list that reference, and instead notes that he regularly hired cows maintained for the town's poor.[7] It also lists a number of land transactions up through the 1660s. On the other hand, Samuel and his wife sent their sons John, Zachary and Caleb to work and live with others when they were each 7-9 years old (in 1645, 1646/7 and 1652, respectively), in one case noting in the record that they could not afford to bring up the child the way they wanted.[8]
His sons left for Swansea in 1669, but he didn't join them until late in life.

This cemetery is about half a mile north of the Kickemuit Water Works. Not far from the center of the plot is an evergreen tree (a cedar, if I recall correctly) and near this is the grave of Caleb Eddy with the inscription, 'Here lyeth the Body of Caleb Eddy aged 69 years Deceased March 23 in the year of our Lord 1713.' ....There are many stones without any inscriptions. Probably one of these belongs to Elizabeth Bullock, Caleb's wife, and others to his son Zachariah and his son Samuel, who married Sarah Estabrooks. Three of his daughters married into the Cole Family. At least two of these are buried here. Caleb's other two sons went to Boston, where they died."
