A handwritten note in the memorial record book of Irwin H. Eddy (son of William P.) states:
"This chair was brought from N. Adams, Mass. about 1832. Hand made.
"Man, wife & children came with covered wagon. She rode in chair to Detroit, there traded horses for oxen to drive on to a place near Albion."
The whereabouts of the chair is unknown. Only the note survives.
On 13 June 1836, for $450, John Eddy purchased land on section 20, Concord Twp. In just over 6 months, John died, at 39 years of age, leaving Samuel, age 15, Delilah, age 12, and William, age 6.
On 3 October 1843, for $800, Charles Woodworth of Concord, guardian of Samuel, Delilah and William, sold that land to his son, Bradley Woodworth. Somewhere around that time, Charles Woodworth was married to the Eddy children's mother, Esther.
Charles Woodworth died 20 Jan 1852 and is buried in the West Concord (Red Brick) Cemetery.
