William GEDDY Jr.. 4. William GEDDY was
born about 1733. William's birthdate is an estimate. He was old enough to be
working with his brother David in the family business by 1751, when they placed
an advertisement in the Virginia Gazette. "In 1776, the Committee of Safety
paid William Geddy for "casting ball, repairing arms &c." Though
he lived and worked in town, William owned no land in Williamsburg, having instead
a 326-acre farm about ten miles outside the city. An 18th-century house built
either by William or his son William, Jr., still stands on this property."
