Migration of the Eddus family
In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Edduss to arrive on North American shores: William Edis, who settled in Maryland in 1646; Jeremy Edis, who settled in Virginia in 1651; Thomas Eddows, who settled in Virginia in 1734; William Eddis, who was an American colonial official in 1777.
