*********EVEN MORE NOTES:
THE EDDINS FAMILY
There are variant spellings of the Eddins name. Though most often spelled "Eddins" the spellings "Eddings" and "Edens" were sometimes used for the same persons.
*WILLIAM EDDINS (1) was born about 1700. He was married to *REBECCA but nothing more is known of her ancestry. William is listed in St. Mark's Parish, Orange County, Virginia in 1739 and 1740. Orange County was later divided to form Culpepper County. William Eddins' will was proved in November 1754. In it he lists his wife Rebecca, still living in 1754, and his children: Jacob, Theophilus, Isaac, Mary, John, Joseph, *ABRAHAM, William, Elizabeth and Rebecca. A daughter-in-law, Ann, is also mentioned. William was a minister and came from Edenton, Durham, England.
The following is from Orange Co., VA Deed Books 3 and 4: 1735 "Judy, a negro girl belonging to William Eddins, is judged to be about 11 years old".
Mar 1735 William Eddins served on a jury
Nov 1735 "William Eddins and Rebecca, his wife" sold land to John Corely John Eddins sold land to William Eddins William and Rebecca Eddins sold land to Shurley Whatley
Dec 1735 John Eddins sold land to William Eddins
From Northern Neck Warrants: 1735, 1736, 1739 William and John Eddins are listed on tithe (tax) lists
1747 William lived between the Rapidian River and Smith's Run in Virginia
Of William and Rebecca's 11 children, the following information is known about 5 of them:
BENJAMIN EDDINS was born circa 1726 in Culpeper County, Virginia. He appears on the 1800 Rent Rolls in Edgefield County, South Carolina.
ISAAC EDDINS was born circa 1728 in Culpepper County, Virginia.
THEOPHILUS EDDINS was born circa 1730 Culpeper County, Virginia. He appears in the 1790 Moore County, South Carolina census with 1 male over 16 and 3 females. There is a Theophales in the 1810 Madison County, Virginia census, probably a son.
JOHN EDDINS was born circa 1732 in Culpeper County, Virginia. He is listed in the 1810 census for Edgefield District, South Carolina.
*ABRAHAM EDDINS [William (1)] was born on 01 June 1742 in Culpeper County, Virginia, and married *CATHERINE TOWLES who was born 05 July 1720 also in Culpeper County, Virginia. Abraham appears on the Culpeper County, Virginia Rent Rolls in 1764. He is also listed on the 1810 census of that county. Abraham's grandson, Josiah Chandler mentions him in his Revolutionary War pension declaration papers. Josiah also mentions "Old Mary" at first thought to be Abraham's wife. County Probate Court records indicate a will for Abraham although it has not been found. Abraham and Catherine's children:
*WILLIAM EDDINS (2) [William (1), Abraham] was born on 21 April 1758 in Culpeper County, Virginia. He died at the age of 83 on 13 Jan 1841 in Wilson County, Tennessee. In Wilkes County, North Carolina on 24 Aug 1784 he married *REBECCA CHANDLER. Rebecca was born on 19 Feb 1765 in Henry County, Virginia. Both appear in the 1840 Wilson County, Tennessee census with William aged 82 and Rebecca aged 75. William's grandfather, also named William, was also married to a woman named Rebecca. William served in the Revolutionary War as a soldier from two states - North Carolina and Virginia. In 1832 the government created a pension for soldiers who could prove they served during the war. William gave court testimony of his military experience as proof of his service. Though his records are filed under the spelling "Eddings" the details prove he is the same Eddins. It is rare that a soldier served from two states. According to his court testimony, William joined in Virginia, spent several months looking for George Washington's troops, and when he found him finally, there were more soldiers than needed. A lottery was held to see which soldiers would stay. William was sent home. In the next year, William's father and the rest of the family moved to North Carolina where troops were still needed so William enlisted in the army again. A transcription of his military service is enclosed at the end of the Eddins chapter. William and Rebecca are our ancestors.
SARAH EDDINS was born on 21 August 1762 in Culpeper County, Virginia. She died on 03 Mar 1841 in Leeville, Wilson County, Tennessee. Sarah is important to the family history because of the wealth of genealogical information contained in her court papers filed to obtain a widow's pension from the service of her husband. Testifying in her behalf were her brother, William Eddins and his wife, Rebecca Chandler Eddins, our ancestors. In 1784 she married Josiah Chandler, brother of Rebecca Chandler. Josiah and Sarah had 16 children. His pension application papers are included in the Chandler chapter of this book. Sarah and Josiah are buried in the small Chandler family cemetary, two miles south of Leeville, TN.
JUDITH EDDINS was born about 1764 in Culpeper County, Virginia.
ANNIE EDDINS was born about 1765 in Culpeper County, Virginia.
MARY EDDINS was born about 1765 in Culpeper County, Virginia.
JOSEPH EDDINS was born circa 1766 in Culpeper County, Virginia. In 1770 Joseph lived between the Stanton River and Conway River on Bluff's Mountain. Later he was a chain carrier for a survey on the north side of the Stanton River in the great fork of the Rappahannock River. Chains were used to measure for surveying and a chain carrier was usually a young man from the area being surveyed. Before this time, a "meets and bounds" system was used to measure land and it was highly impractical. Surveyors began using lengths of chains as a measuring tool which made the process more accurate, though cumbersome.
LUCY EDDINS was born in 1768 in Culpeper County, Virginia
FRANK EDDINS was born about 1768 in Culpeper County, Virginia
