JOHN A. EDDY was born in White County, Tenn., March 31, 1831.  At the 
age of eighteen months he was brought by his parents to Allen County, 
where he has since resided except a portion of the years 1856 and 1857, 
when he lived in Warren County.  His father, George W. Eddy, was born in 
New England about 1801; at an early age his parents died and under the 
cruel treatment of an only relative, an uncle, he left home and became a 
sailor.  After seven years of seafaring life he went to North Carolina, 
and in a short time to Virginia, where about 1828, he married Lucinda, 
daughter of Solomon and Sarah (Langston) Taylor, of Virginia, who was 
born July 6, 1814.  To them were born John A., George W., Lucinda 
(Corder), Isaac N., Frances (Matthews) and Martha A. (Brown).  John A. 
Eddy married, February 9, 1854, Mary A., daughter of Louis and Sarah 
(Cooksey) Harman, of Warren County, who was born July 6, 1832.  To them 
have been born Eliza A. (Guy), Marshal W., James J. C., John W., Sarah 
A. (Cole), Luella (Stone), Van M. and Harrison.  Mr. Eddy's early 
educational advantages were poor, but he has obtained by study a fair 
English education.  He has been for seven years a magistrate, and owns a 
fine farm.  In politics is a Democrat.
