The following was added to the article page by new user Chadwickeidson01, but it is more appropriate for this talk page:

Eidson, TN was named for a group of family living there bearing the surname Eidson. Amonst them was my great-grandfather, Andrew Jackson Eidson.

The information about the origin of the name would be good content to include in the article, but it needs to be supported by a citation to a reliable source. (Maybe the user has a source to cite.)

First-person comments, such as the one about "my great-grandfather", do not belong in Wikipedia articles. --Orlady (talk) 03:29, 29 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

My grandmother, Evalina Eidson, was born in Eidson, TN in 1901, and was the daughter of Samuel Eidson, the rancher, who relocated to Boyce, Virginia. 184.74.112.2 (talk) 18:36, 18 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
