John Eddy (1597-1684) and his brother, Samuel (1608-1688), two of the children of William Eddy (ca.1550-1616), emigrated from England to Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1630. John settled in Watertown, Massachusetts in 1633; Samuel lived in Plymouth until he retired to live with his sons in Middleborough and Swansea. Descendants and relatives lived in New England, New York, Michigan, Illinois and elsewhere. Some descendants immigrated to Ontario and elsewhere in Canada.
