Buried on the farm which he bought in Pittstown. See biography in EddyFamily book (1930), page 148 and also note for Mercie. It is stated in theEddy Book that during the Revolutionary War he owned several privateers, whichgreatly assisted the American cause.
Birth dates of 1744 and 1765 are given in other genealogies. See page91 of 1930 Eddy Family in America. Used 1744 because mother would be age 49when she was born using the 1765 date and the 1759 date leaves a gap of nineyears between the eighth and ninth children of Constant Eddy.
