Individual Details

Phineas Eddy

( - 17 Jun 1641)

It is probable that Phineas, who was twenty-three when his father (William Eddy) died, soon married Katherine Courthopp, daughter of Peter and Anne (Sheaffe) Courthopp, and so made a home for his younger brothers and sisters, for by Llie terms of his father's will he was entrusted with this care. The marriage of Phineas to Katherine Courthopp, a niece of William Sheaffe, allied him with two of the best families in Cranbrook. He was appointed as one of the sidesmen at Easter in 1618. Before 1620 two of his children died, one an unnamed child, the other named Peter. Some time later Phineas left Cranbrook and settled in Portsmouth. Whether his wife Katherine died before or after this change in residence is not known, but she had died and he had married a second wife, Christian . . . , before Dec. 18, 1639, when he made a will. This will was proved June 7, 1641. From this will, which follows, it is evident that Phineas left no male descendants, so unless Zacharias married and had sons there are no descendants of William, the Vicar, bearing the name of Eddy, except those who trace back either to John or Samuel Eddy. His children were Peter, Anne, Margaret, Susanna, and Abigail.
Peter died at Cranbrook Nov. 8, 16ig and Abigail between Dec. 18, 1639 and June 7, 1641.
from William Eddy will: to Phinees Eddie my Scone whom I make and ordeine full whole and sole Executor of this my present last will and Testament.
