Notes for Daniel Singletary EADDY

Daniel Singletary Eaddy (b. abt 1779) in Sumter County, SC, (d. February
17, 1823) in SC, was reported in the notes of the Francis Singletary
family compiled by Jeff Besser. The question of his place of birth in
Sumter County, SC could be explained as the home of Benjamin Singletary,
Sr. and Hannah Darby, his grandparents. According to this logic, James
Eaddy, Jr. would have also been born there in Sumter County, SC. He
would have been contemporary with other Samuel Eaddy, Sr. family members
who were listed on the docket of the first case tried in Williamsburg
County, SC, as cited by Boddie.

Plantation life on Lynches Creek was not an easy one and young men early
developed physical strength and fighting skills. Boddie reports that the
first court house case tried in Williamsburg District was entitled: "The
State against Daniel S. Eaddy, Moses Brown, Samuel Eaddy, Jr. and James
Eaddy----assault and battery." He adds, "These gentlemen had held a good
old Irish discussion with sticks, plead guilty, paid their fines, and
doubtless regarded their money well spent."

Another Daniel S. Eaddy (b. November 27, 1823 d. 1886) was the son of
John Eaddy and Rachel Stone. He would have been too young to be involved
in the battery case and James Eaddy, I. would have been too old or have
already died.

The author has interpreted the participants in the brawl which resulted
in the first Williamsburg County, SC Assault and Battery Case to be the
following:

Samuel Eaddy, Jr. (b.1777), Daniel Singletary Eaddy (1779-1823), James
Alexander Eaddy (b. 1780), sons of Samuel Eaddy, Sr. and Mary Elizabeth
Singletary. Moses Brown, unknown.

Daniel S. Eaddy (Eddy) of Sumter County, SC was active in buying and
selling slaves between 1805-1812. Some of his property, including slaves
and a horse, were sold at public auction in 1812. No evidence was found
of spouse nor descendants to inherit his property upon his death in 1823.
