Hi gang: 1. Primarily for Gerry. I woke up this morning thinking about your Edmondsons and wondering if maybe I'd given you a bum steer yesterday. I have no proof for giving all those kids to Upton Edmondson II, and as I thought about it, I realized that it is perfectly possible that their father was a Benjamin (of whom there are too many in this family). There is a Benjamin, son of Upton I, who could qualify as the father of those kids. I do not have much on him: R-1-3-3-1: Benjamin Edmondson Lunenburg Co. VA, DB XVI, 14 Apr. 1791. Benjamin/Mary Edmondson to James Scott Lunenburg Co., WB IV, 91. 13 June 1775. Will of Benjamin Edmondson in court, but is rejected as false. Administration granted to Mary Edmondson, Upton Edmondson and Christopher Robertson, Gent. Ibid., 115, Inventory. Unfortunately, the will is not transcribed. The fact that Upton Edmondson and Christopher Robertson are admrs. make this probably the will of this Benjamin. Now note this: DB XII, 70. 1807. Mary Edmondson, a deed of gift to daughter Tabithy. I don't know of any other Tabitha than the one on the list sent yesterday, so it makes more sense that her mother was Mary, and that fits the widow of Benjamin. Alas, somewhere in the back of my mind is a hint that I actually found proof of this somewhere some time, but I did not put it in my notes, so have no idea what it was. 2. Primarily for Russell. Thanks for the data you sent: I rather think that my data came, somehow, from the same source. I see you are aware that John Blackwell m. Polly Edmondson, 5 July 1796. John Blackwell was the admr. of the estate of Upton II in 1812, so there was some relationship there no doubt. The Mary, b. 1775, I listed as a daughter of Upton II (now maybe d/o Benjamin) fits nicely for marrying John Blackwell, but I have a note that family sources suggested she m. a Dunn, and there is also an 1814 marriage to Michael Walker by a Polly, with a Benjamin Edmondson as bondsman. One thing is clear, however: the Polly who m. John Blackwell is somewhere close to Upton II. All those children can be Upton's. I gave them to Upton II, who didn't died until 1812, and who was, I THINK, a son of Upton I, who died in 1771. There are certainly other and later Uptons. The Samuel who m. Nancy Jones I would say is fairly certainly the Samuel last on the list of children of Upton II or Benjamin. 3. Let me put it on record that I am no expert on this family, which is not at all mine. I just picked up data over the years and am glad to share it when I can. But there's still a LOT of work to be done to get it accurate. Please keep me posted of progress or lack thereof. Best, Howard V. Jones

Howard, I've been lurking in the background for over a year now. I know that I have Edmundson ancestors, I just don't know who. My grandmother was Grace Edmondson Mills born in Montgomery county TN in 1883. She always said that she was kin to the Edmondson and Blackwell families who came there from VA. Her maternal grandmother was Mary V Blackwell who m William Augustus Chadwick. In all probability Mary's father was Benjamin E Blackwell (and that E probably was for Edmondson, as that was the naming scheme of the above families). I think Benjamin E Blackwell was the son of John Blackwell and Mary "Polly" Edmundson. And Mary may have been the daughter of Upton Edmundson. Now I haven't proven any of this, but this line appears to fit it with tidbits of information passed down. Many families from Southside VA (Lunenberg, Brunswick, and Mecklenburg counties) ie Edmondson, Blackwell, Jones, Orgain, Neblett, etc. as well as many from Halifax county NC settled in Montgomery county, TN When I visited Montgomery county I found the following in the family files at the library. Essex County, VA Thomas Edmondson, Sr m Anne & Mary 7 children listed (they have been discussed in previous messages) Essex County, VA Benjamin Edmondson - m Margaret Underwood (I think that s/b UPTON) ch Thomas, Benjamin, Upton, Mary, Margaret Amelia County, VA Upton Edmondson m Mary note:Upton may not be the father of the 12 children listed below. this information found in papers of Robert & Christiana Jones papers. (this was on the page I copied) 1. Constance Edmondson b 6 Mar 1766 2. Upton Edmondson b 16 May 1767 3. Susannah Edmondson b 31 Dec 1771 4. Benjamin Edmondson b 9 Oct 1770 5.

(Montgomery county, TN) Married Nancy Jane Jones born 5 July 1796 Lunenburg county, VA d 5 Nov 1873.

Now this is just what I copied and I know some of it is wrong, but it has given clues for further research. I don't doubt that the above Samuel was a descendant of Upton Edmondson considering the name of his 7th child. But obviously the last 8 children were not the children of Upton Edmondson who left a will in Amelia county, VA in 1771. Janie in Houston

For Gerry: The Elizabeth Edmondson who m. Daniel Robertson descends from Thomas Edmondson of Essex Co. VA, probably via his son Benjamin. However, I am by no means sure of the exact descent, and I would like to be. Here's what I have. The chain is, I think, provable down to Upton II, who is not provably the sone of Upton I. There are also problems about the wives of Upton II. And, as stated, there is no proof that Upton's daughter Elizabeth is the one who m. Daniel Robertson. Anyway, this gives you a place to look. I have other data on this family, but nothing that will answer these problems. I did not have a second marriage for Elizabeth. I assume that Daniel H. Robertson is her son by her first marriage. I would be glad to add more data about your family to my account. All the best, Howard V. Jones I.

Dear EDM- folks- I am researching my great-great-grandfather, William "Billy" Edmisten who was born in Hancock co.Indiana, probably in late 1790's or early 1800's. I have found a William, a James, and a BB "Edmonston" in the 1820 census in Dubois county Indiana. Does anyone out there know these people? Or do you have other Indiana EDM- connections in this time frame? "Billy" had 6 children I know of: William Alexander (b.1839), James Wesly(b.1842), George Washington (b.1846, my ggf),and three daughters Rachel, Catherine, and Susan (dates unknown). Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! Carol Edmisten

Hi to all, since I have found my line to Lt James Edmundson, and Bryant and Bryant jr. son Wm. H. I was wondering just how many cousins I have out there. If you can just yell at me so I can make some kind of list. Keep in touch. Regards Bill Edmundson

Becky: I visit the Goldsboro area on a regular basis. I will gladly search for the will of Lt. James. When was the will recorded? You listed Lt.James death in 1789, yet I have also seen it listed as 1798. Which is correct?

Hello Everyone, This pertains to the line of LT James Edmundson (Rev War) b. 1751 NC d. 1789 NC, and his son Bryant Sr. I need to prove that Wiley was indeed one of the son's of Bryant Edmundson Sr. Did Bryant Sr. have a will? Or anything that would prove Wiley was his son? I have Wiley and his wife Martha on a census, but really need something to tie Wiley into Bryant Sr. I have the Troup County, Georgia and Her People article by FC Johnson III, in which Wiley is indeed listed as a child of Bryant Sr., but I need more proof for my paperwork for my acceptance into DAR. Also, does anyone have a copy of Lt. James Edmundson's will? It is my understanding that he did have one. My information shows that it was recorded in the Clerk Superior Court in Goldsboro, NC and Bryant is listed along with 6 of his brothers and sisters. This is also supposed to have been documented in North Carolina Revolutionary Soldiers, Sailors , Patriots, and Descendants, Vol l page 69. I have yet been able to get a copy of this. Could someone direct me to where I would need to write or call for a copy of James's will, in North Carolina? I have ordered his military records from Washington, but have not received them yet. I sure would like to tie up these two things, as I have all the rest of my paperwork for the DAR. Thank you so much for your help! Regards, Becky Cowen-Cornelius Willow, Alaska

HERE IS SOMETHING INTERESTING! Subj: archives fire From: MAGICKRN Fire Harms National Archives Files Government Front Page News Source: Associated Press Published: 3/3/00 Author: DEB RIECHMANN For education and discussion only. Not for commercial use. WASHINGTON (AP) -- Archivists are using hot air and blotting paper to salvage hundreds of thousands of pages of government records damaged in a fire at a National Archives storage center just outside Washington. Among them were veterans' records and papers connected to a lawsuit over mismanagement of American Indians' money. The fire occurred Tuesday at the Washington National Records Center in Suitland, Md., which stores more than 3.7 million cubic feet of records. Archives officials said 3,000 cubic feet of records were stored in areas where sprinklers activated, but fewer than 300 cubic feet -- approximately 700,000 pages -- were actually damaged or destroyed. The bulk of the records were from the Department of Veterans Affairs. ''These are inactive files of deceased veterans who previously made claims for benefits,'' said Robert Knode, records officer for the veterans benefits administration. ''Sometimes we recall these files when somebody wants a copy for genealogical or other purposes, but there should be only a minimal effect.'' Another 60 boxes of damaged records were involved in a lawsuit over brought by American Indians charging government mismanagement of a $500 million system of trust accounts for American Indians. The water damage to those records was just the latest problem with documents in the case; other Indian trust records have been inadvertently shredded or found dumped in a trash-strewn shed on a North Dakota reservation. Also damaged were records were from District of Columbia government offices, the Labor Department's Hour and Wage Division and the U.S. Patent and Trademark office. The patent and trademark records were scheduled for disposal. ''We regret the loss of a single page, but we're not sure yet what the loss is,'' said Gerald George, communications director for the archives. ''We have some record damage and we regret that, but on the other hand, our fire system contained the fire so that it didn't do widespread damage.'' Conservation work is under way. Warm, dry air is being blown into the storage stacks and blotting paper is being used to extract moisture from pages, said Susan Cooper, a spokeswoman for the archives. Drying chambers have been set up and refrigerated trucks are being used to store records that are very wet. ''They keep the records cold to prevent mildew from forming on them,'' she said.

Dear Orvan, Howard, Hughleta, Nancy Wood, and all of the wonderful EDM-researchers out there: About a year ago I started searching for the parents of my ggf, George Washington Edmisten. I knew he was born in Missouri in 1846 but that's about it. I got a lot of responses and learned a heck of a lot about the Edm..ss but no one knew who my George came from. Well, I finally found out: George's father was William "Billy" Edmisten, born "Hancock Indiana co.", died in Thurman Iowa, which is where my George got married. (I got this information from a cousin of my father's whom I have never met except for a recent phone call. His sister who is now dead had recorded some family history before her death a couple of years ago. If she had not done that I would still be in the dark.) So now the search is on again, this time for William's parents and once again I am asking for your help. Does anyone know who William "Billy" Edmisten is? I do not have any dates or who his wife was. I do know he had two other sons besides my ggf: William Alexander (b.July 16, 1839) and James Wesley (b.Nov.2, 1842). (These, by the way, are the two pioneer Edmistens I found in Cass County NE. I had a hunch they were related to my George. They were indeed - his big brothers. Both are buried in Cass County NE.) In addition "Billy" had three daughters: Rachel, Susan, and Catherine, but I have no dates for them. I also do not know how to interpret his birthplace- is there a Hancock Indiana? or is there a Hancock in Indiana county? but what state?? Questions, questions... Any help you can offer is appreciated. Carol Edmisten Seattle, WA
