Misc. Notes
Upon the first page of the Parish Register at the Church of St Dunstan in Cranbrook, it is written by the hand of William (Eddye) himself, since his signature is at the foot of the page, that he was “borne in the cittie of Bristol.”82088
William then went to Thurston, a small parish in co. Suffolk, near Bury St. Edmunds & not very far from Cambridge. There he occupied the position of curate, perhaps from 1583 to 1586, as is shown by his signature on the transcript of the Register which was sent to the Bishop's office at Norwich. ... he was inducted into the real and actual possession of the Vicarage of the Church of the parish of Cranbrooke on the twelfth of January in the year 159182088
Robert Henry Eddy of Boston became interested in his ancestry and visited the 'place which tradition had handed down as the birthplace of his first New England parents. There on the Register he found proof of the truth of this tradition, and wishing to have some permanent record of his ancestor, William Eddye, in the church which he so faithfully served for over twenty-five years, he left a bequest of $5000 for this purpose to the Church in Cranbrook. In 1902 three memorial windows and a tablet were dedicated to the memory of William Eddye and his emigrant children.82088
