Individual Details
Joshua Eddy
(21 Feb 1680 - 13 Nov 1768)
Joshua was a cooper by trade. A man of means, he does not seem to have taken any part in the political life of his town. His name appears only once in the records of Smithfield when he was chosen to lay out a highway. His life was spent in cultivating his farm and in bringing up his large family of boys. There were ten of them. They all grew up and married. The descendants of Joshua Eddy of Glocester, Rhode Island number more than those of any other Eddy of his generation.
