James Hood Eddy was born on November 11, 1814 in Pine Grove township, Pennsylvania.  He was the 5th of 8 children of Zechariah and Rose Eddy.  The family moved to Warren around 1819.

James Eddy married Hannah Hook, and they had 5 children:  3 daughters and 2 sons, all of whom were raised in the house pictured above. (Beautifully maintained, I might add.)

Eddy served as president of the First National Bank from 1880 to 1885.  He was also a member of the Warren City Council for 8 terms.

Eddy ancestors John and Samuel were among those who landed at Plymouth in 1630.
