Martha Chapman married Abner Eddy
on February 19, 1798 in Litchfield Co., Connecticut.

They had twelve children; Augustus, Milton Gore, Myron R., Minerva, Emmett William, Curran, Orran C., Julia, Maria Louisa, George Washington, Asa and Abner Kneeland Eddy.

On their arrival to Ohio, Abner built a log-cabin, in which they lived for thirteen years, when he erected a brick house upon the foundation of the original one, and upon its completion, in January, 1830, he opened a place of public entertainment, called "Eddy's Inn," in which he continued until the opening up of the railroad, in 1852.

Judge Eddy's house was headquarters for stage-men, public officials and speculators, who traversed the old coach-line for nearly a quarter of a century. This coach-line was owned by Neil, Moore & Co., of Columbus, and superintended by K. R. Porter, of Wooster, who also had stock in the route. This route extended from Cleveland to Cincinnati, and the travel upon it was simply immense.
