Notes:
                   The record for Olive Wells marriage to Luther Eddy in Pownal Vermontonly
mentions a Mister Eddy  The age difference between Olive andLuther(born
1776) seems  to be too great.
Further research is necessary, beginning with appropriate censusrecords and
then land transactions. CD ROM at Connecticut Genealogical Society,East
Hartford, JAN 1995 gives Luther Eddy of Brunswick, Rensalaer County,New York
on 1850 census- page 077. Also a Luther D Eddy page 081.
