It has been a long while since I posted anything on my EDDY family.  I have yet to find information on Francis Marion EDDY although I have some circumstantial ideas of who he belonged to.   I thought I would try again to locate information on Francis Marion EDDY born abt 1850 and I do believe in Ohio...he was married to Anna ASH EDDY who was born in Doddridge County, WV.  For some reason they both moved to Cincinnati, Ohio and made their life there.  Francis Marion died in 1906 in Cincinnati and is buried in the Wesleyan Cemetery in Cincinnati, Ohio.  I know for a fact they were there in 1900 and children being born by birth records yet I cannot find them on the census records.   When he died his children were put into orphan homes.  I have records where they were taken from Anna ASH EDDY.  One was sent to THE ORIENT in Columbus, Ohio as feeble minded.  She was born just a few months after her father died and was named FRANCES MARIAN EDDY on her birth record but her name was later changed to ALENA F. EDDY, she never married and she died in Butler County, Ohio 18 Oct 1994..I just missed finding her by two years.  My grandmother I don't think even knew she existed.   His daughter GRACE CRAMER EDDY was sent by Orphan Train of H D Clarke to northern Ohio and was taken by family named Emmerling...she later married Howard Miller and she died in Florida. Grace was born in Cincinnati, Ohio   HIs daughter MARY ELIZABETH EDDY stayed in Glendale, Ohio at the Bethany Home until the older sister (my grandmother) RUTH EDDY got married and took Mary Elizabeth out.  Mary Elizabeth eventually married a John R. Sheffield and she died in Florida. She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio   In 1910, my grandmother RUTH ARABELLA EDDY was living as a servant in the home of Lebert Weir who was the chief probation officer of juvenile court.  It was said my grandmother was a juvenile delinquent because she ran away a lot trying to find her siblings.  She was eventually put in the House of Refuge in Cincinnati and taken out by MINNIE STOW and kept as house  worker.  She did eventually find two sisters, Grace and Mary above.  She never found her brother........   ISAAC N. EDDY was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1902 as WILLIAM C. EDDY name changed I don't know when but he was ISAAC N. EDDY and I do have records that show this.  Isaac in 1910 was also in the Bethany Home with two of his 4 sisters in Glendale Ohio, Hamilton County.  In 1912 he too was taken by Orphan Train to West Virginia by H D Clarke...he was placed with the family of S.O. Davis in West Virginia.  I was able to find him up to 1920 at which time he disappears never to be found again.  I would dearly love to find what happened to him.  It was said that the families who took children in were to give them some money and freedom at age 18...in a Orphan Train book there is mention of Isaac telling the Davis family he was running away and joining the Navy.  I would love to know if he did this and what happened to him.  A Davis family member several years back said they remembered Isaac when they were a child, didn't know that he came from an orphan home and that they thought he was going out west when he left.  I have one baby photo of Isaac with 3 of his 4 sisters above before they were taken away from their mother.   It seems that they not only were in Bethany Home in Glendale but they were all in the Cincinnati Children's Home at one time or more.  Grace & Isaac were taken from the Cincinnati Children's Home and sent off by HD Clarke on the orphan trains.    Any help on this family would be more than appreciated.  Ancestry.com has so many EDDY trees using my Francis Marion Eddy incorrectly.  I would like to fix that but there is so many of them and I have no idea where they got such information.   Thanks in advance Cindy
