EDDY, MASON -
Does anyone have any information on the parents of Thomas EDDY and Nancy MASON who married in Botetourt Co 1826? Thomas was guardian to Nancy at the time for the marriage. They were in Botetourt Co 1830 census, and then 1850 and 1860 were in Franklin Co. Some of their children married and lived in Pittsylvania Co but haven't been able to locate either Nancy or Thomas after 1860. Need the parents's names of both Thomas and Nancy. Any help appreciated.
