Carey LaMontagne sent me a mssg stating that Azariah was married to Elizabeth Burroughs. It is not clear from the "family tradition" whether Uncle Eddie would have been a maternal or paternal uncle so he may be Eddie Burroughs.
It seems clear that Eddy (Jonathan's son) was named for Rebecca Eddy's family (because of the spelling) I haven't set about proving Rebecca's parents but we list them as John Eddy and Jemima and her birthplace as Staten Island. Jemima later remarried Samuel Landon. At the time of Jemima's death, Jonathan and Rebecca inherited were sole heirs to her estate. These lands were then sold to Ebenezer Hunt in 1805.
Does the Wyman book list Jonathan and Ebenezer as brothers? and is their a preceding Ebenezer who would have been listed as a surveyer as early as 1751?
