Note

I was kindly provided with a copy of a deed for Lot 5, Concession 9, Caldwell Manor, Quebec, Canada. My Gr.Gr. Grandfather, Isaac Johnson purchased this property in 1803 from a David Prosser who, in turn, had previously purchased it from NEWBURY EDDY September 2, 1799.

I'm not sure if you are aware there are quite a few Edy/Eddy names listed on headstones in the Hawley Cemetery (also known as South Beech Cemetery) near the a/m property and near the town of Clarenceville, Quebec.

I thought Eddy/Edy family researchers would be interested in this.
