Title William Eedy, Sr., Clifton, Gloucester Co., New Brunswick, to John W. Eedy, 18 October 1877
Description Letter provides genealogical and historical data about the Eedy family. William Eedy was apparently the son or. more likely, nephew of Robert Eedy, the recipient of the letters from Huston, Anstis, and Draper. William wrote that he was only 13 years old in 1828 when he emigrated to NB with his father, who was 65, and died in Bathurst in 1839. William claims that the Eedy family came to Co. Cork in 1649-50 as Cromwellian soldiers, and ever since had maintained "pure and undefiled Protestant blood."
