GeddieWorld has received notice that BJ of Williamsburg is doing research on the family of James Geddy Jr, the Silversmith of Williamsburg , in the 18th century, His brother John Geddy, moved to Halifax North Carolina. He married Patience McKenna(also spelled McKinnie). He was an active Patriot, serving in the First Provincial Congress in Newbern NC , in 1774. I know of at least 2 daughters, Martha (Geddy) Marshall, and Sara Geddy. "I do not know his death date, but believe it is 1799 or 1800. I would like to determine if he also became a silversmith like his brother James, also would like to know if anyone knows where he is buried." James Geddy Jr's home still stands in Colonial Williamsburg. It dates to 1762. He was married to Elizabeth Waddill Geddy. they had 5 children : Nancy, Mary, Elizabeth, James III, and William Waddill (possibly named after wife's brother, William Waddill, who was excellent engraver etc.} "I came across this website [GeddieWorld] and am thankful for it. Thanx for your help. BJ from Williamsburg VA" We would of course also like to know if this Geddy is related to the New Hanover-Cumberland Geddie's arriving late 18th-century. Many thanks for hints!
