EDM Researchers, bear in mind that these are taken from just a few, very few, Texas counties. There are two Edmondson groups in Comanche Co., Texas. They resided in the same immediate area just south of De Leon, Texas. The larger group are desc of old Albert Edmondson of NC and Ark., a Methodist. S.W. and C.M. Edmondson are my great uncle and grandfather, only sons of Edwin Fair Edmondson, also a Methodist, listed as "Edward Edwinson" on the 1910 census in McLennon Co., Texas. My dad calls them "cousins" but the evidence doesn't indicate that they are, so far. The (bride) A.L. (Alabama) "Bama" Edmondson that married Dr. Jones, did have a descendant that intermarried with another cousin of my dad's. Chan J.

EDM researchers, I copied this from Ancestry.com, and I don't know how to align the rows. I think you can make them out, though. Do we know who these folks are? I am interested in them as my Charles Edward Edmondson was b. 1835 in Ohio, somewhere, and he had a younger brother named Edward on only one census, 1860, St. Louis, Mo.; and he had a niece born in Smith Co., Texas, 1877, named Cora Lee Edmondson, dau of Edwin Fair Edmondson, 1848-1911. There's no chance that these two women named Cora Lee Edmondson are one and the same. But they might be related??? Thanks. Chan J.

Well, it seems that I have made my first mistake! :) Anyway, I found the reply to my request, and I have figured out why I did not receive the Edmondson file that I requested. Seems that I requested the Smith file which mentions the Edmondsons. I then stated that I was related to Thomas Edmondson. So, the researcher determined that there was no Thomas mentioned, so she replied the following: The South Carolina Historical Society August 2, 2000 Dear Ms. Leite, I received your request for research. In looking through all the 30-4 Smith files I was not able to locate a reference to Thomas Edmundson. If there is any thing else we can do for you please let us know. Sincerely, Kathryn Meehan So if you want the file, do not tell them who you are related to or you will not get a copy of the file. I specifically requested a copy of the file. Julia Florida/USA

Julia and Nancy.... I do still have the file you sent me.....just give me a few days to look it up. Been busy changing jobs and getting kids of to camps etc. Will send the name as soon as I locate where I saved the file to! Beverly

Nancy, There were no names that I can remember. I had my husband empty my file to a disc for storage. It was the one which had the images of the correspondence. Can't seem to find the original. :( However, I sent a copy of it to Beverly Brunelle in Wyoming. Perhaps she could tell you what the name with Smith was. Yes, well, the English have never been known to be a warm, "friendly" people. I guess that wouldn't be the opposite to the Spanish, Italian, or Portugese then, would it? Anyway, I figure that, as a Lcdr. Bradbury used to say, "[I] got some English put one [me]!" :) Julia Florida/USA nancy_wood wrote: > That is discouraging.

That is discouraging. I've had a similar experience with the Friends (Quaker) Library in London; they were most unfriendly...Julia, did you get any names in the Smith/Edmondson file?

Well, the same thing sort of happened to me when I sent for a file from the South Carolina Historical Society. I found a list of several (perhaps a dozen) files on the Edmondsons in South Carolina on the SCIway site which is by the SC Historical Society. So, I used their e-mail address and authorized them to spend up to $20 to send the the file I wanted. I was told to do this by the woman at the SCHS with whom I spoke on the phone about my request. I received a letter back, along with a copy of a page showing the Smith file in which the Edmondson resided. The note about the Edmondson file was on the bottom of the copied page. So, I wrote a letter to the SCHS requesting the file and sending a check for $15.00, the going price for 1/2 hours of "research." Saturday I received a "note" telling me that they "could not find the file." So, I am out $20! Should I feel fleeced???

We visited Guilford College in NC to research our Edmondsons. They were VERY uncooperative. The indecis we searched did not show any Edmondsons in their collection. We were told research was to be conducted only by one of their paid researchers. Perhaps the librarian had a bad day...

Edmondson listers, This is FYI... Julia Florida/USA Dear Julia. The birth, death, & marriage records for most Orangeburg Dist. Quakers were included in Wateree (later named Fredericksburg) Monthly Meeting records, which were lost. Willard Heiss (a nationally known historian and genealogist) and I offered a substantial reward years ago to encourage people to look for the records in South Carolina. They were not found. Most of the surviving records for Bush River Monthly Meeting are housed at Guilford College in NC, and are available abstracted in Hinshaw's Ency. of Amer. Quaker Genealogy and a CD of that from Family Tree Maker. While it has been years since I worked actively with those records, I seem to remember that the Edmundsons were connected with North Carolina. I will try to check on this, but it may be a few days before I have a chance. B Medlin

Edmondson Listers, This is FYI... Julia Florida/USA Julia. There was a Friends Meeting on the border of Orangeburg and Dorchester Counties but its exact location is unknown today. It was called Edisto. It was organized by Friends moving from the Wateree Meeting at Camden and was almost certainly a preparative meeting under the care of Wateree Monthly Meeting. The records of Wateree are lost. Most of the information about the families at Edisto comes from the journals of Quaker ministers traveling in the ministry through South Carolina, who usually stopped at Edisto. One of those journals suggests that the Edisto Friends established their Meeting along Quaker lines without knowing anything about Friends and later affiliated. That is untrue, because the leaders at Edisto were grown children of the leaders at Wateree. Friends in the Edgefield-Bamberg District area had local worship groups which were under the care of Bush River Monthly Meeting in Newberry County. As with any long -distance relationship in a frontier area, there was less oversight and fewer items getting into Monthly Meeting Minutes and Registers than for worship groups closer. The leading families for this group were the Clouds and the Norris. Most members of both extended families migrated to Indiana in the early 1800's because of their opposition to slavery and the SC laws against emancipation. Since Hinshaw's researchers only looked at official Monthly Meeting Records, they missed about half of the Quakers in South Carolina. One has to trace many SC Quaker families back to NC, VA, & PA or forward to Ohio. Indiana, or Illinois to establish their Quaker membership. Friends did not keep membership lists in this period. Hope this helps you some, B Medlin
