Person:Elizabeth Savory (1)

Last name is based on speculation that she was the sister of Thomas Savery. Thomas' widow referred to Samuel Eddy as "our brother-in-law" in a deed and Thomas and Samuel were involved in several land dealings together.

   Samuel Eddy: BIRTH: Baptized Cranbrook, Kent, 15 May 1608, son of William and Mary (Fosten) Eddy [Eddy Gen 22].
   DEATH: Swansea 12 November 1688 "in his 87th year" [sic] [PChR 262].
   MARRIAGE: By 1637 Elizabeth __ . She died at Swansea on 24 May 1689 "in her 82nd year at the end of it" [PChR 265]. (Elizabeth has been called sister of Thomas Savory of Plymouth, based on relationships stated in deeds [Eddy Gen 22]. Unfortunately for this argument, one of these deeds does not state the connection; the deed from Thomas Savory to Samuel Eddy of 20 February 1662 does not refer to Eddy as "brother-in-law" [MD 1 7:244-45; PCLR 2:2: 111]. The later deed, by the widow of Thomas, does refer to "our brother-in-law Samuel Eddy" [PCLR 4:311], so the identification certainly remains possible. Note also that Eddy and Savory were granted land jointly in 1664 [PTR 1:63], although these lots were all granted to pairs of individuals, not necessarily related.)
