Carol, If I am not mistaken, Dave's (the editor of the EFAB?) family, William and Delilah (Holt) Edmondson were from Clay Co., IN. Moved there from Tennessee, I believe. Knoxville area. I've seen some about the IN Edmondsons in the EFAB. Maybe Chan should ask Dave or Orvan about his Charles?

Hello Orv, I have not heard if you received the Edmiston/McNeel family History package which I sent over a week ago. Andrew Edmiston's sons and families have been traced down to 1953 and specifically, George McNeel Edmiston. Please let me know. Thanks. Joan

Dear Carol, There was a Quaker settlement at Richmond, Ind., so Edm's from Ind. and Ohio were drawn to that Meeting house. They are well documented, and even have a John F. Edmondson, but that guy is twenty or so years too young. Several researchers have tried to link me up in Ind/Ohio. I know that one Albert H. Edm was in Cincinnati, then St. Louis, then New Orleans, then to Louisville, Ky, and died in Santa Fe, NM, but was buried back in Richmond, Ind. I have gotten PACKAGES of data on these Edm's, but no connection yet. The obit of Boanerges R. Edm in St. Louis, Mo. in 1866, asked Cincinnati and New Orleans newspapers please copy. Thanks.

Chan, There is a Stanford researcher (the surname) on the Stanford Genforum by the name of Leo Leonard who was interested in this type of DNA research, and I believe that he was involved in the actual testing. He lives in Georgia. Perhaps he could answer some questions you may have. Surely there is a better way to prove a connection to John of Talbot??? I looked for 5 years for my g-g-grandpa, and I just found him. And it was quite by accident. I had to do a lateral approach.

Chan, Funny you should ask that.......I was contacting Linder's in Louisiana (by phone) a couple of weeks ago.....one of them told me about Bill..and suggested I contact him. With the time zone difference, I called the next morning, only to find out he passed away the night before. (I felt terrible, but I had no way of knowing before I called!) His son gave me Bill's email address and said to send my request anyway...that he would be checking and answering the requests himself as best as he could once things had settled down. I did send the email, but it is too soon to expect a reply under the circumstances. I was really hoping to find some info......it's a good lesson for us all, not to wait around, just the person who could help us the most....may not be around if we wait to long. I do hope his son continues his work.

Chan- Your reference to Edm-s in Indiana caught my eye. I don't see Indiana mentioned much as a location of Edm- ancestors. My g-g-gf was William "Billy" Edmisten born in Hancock co. Indiana. Not sure yet of date, parents, or spouse. I figure he was probably born between 1810 and 1820, roughly. He traveled to Missouri and eventually Thurman, Iowa, where he died, date unknown. I have more information regarding his 6 children (Rachel, William Alexander, James Wesley, Catherine, Susan, and George Washington-my g-grandfather). The sons settled in Nebraska and South Dakota. I will be traveling to Iowa and Nebraska in a few days to do more research. Do you have any information about Indiana Edm-s that might help me?

Somebody out there is probably a cousin of mine, but we don't know it. I sort of think that I descend from the Edmondson's around Richmond, Ind., and probably from John the Quaker of Maryland. I've been reading in the newspaper about using DNA. I've been looking at www.familytreedna.com which traces a male's paternal grandfather's paternal side (the y chromosome). This company finds the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) based upon the results of comparing the results of testing two males. The cost is $219 as apposed to the standard $1000. Look at the site for the legal ramifications. Anybody have an opinion about this or an interest in doing it. I really need a proven descendant of John the Quaker for me to prove or disprove that I descend from John EDMONDSON, Talbot Co., Md. Chan J. Chan EDMONDSON Dallas, Texas edmoski@airmail.net

Ok, I am finally back in Wyoming after a breakdown in Salina Kansas! The town Many, in Sabine Parish was a goldmine of Edmondson info! Found out John Edmondson - he settled in the Belmont community near Many, and married into the Phillips family. A NEW Edmondson sister Catherine! Who also married into the same Phillips family, and later into the Linders. I didn't have time to go thru but 3 years of newpapers.......but it was enough to prove what I suspected! If anyone is near that area and connected to John, it would be worth checking into as G. W. Edmondson had loaned the Sabine Index many "Pictures of the Past"......I only found one....so there are more to be found! I checked 1971, 1970, and 1969.

Orv or Nancy: What is the source for the marriage of Pollard and Annis? The only Annis Staton that I have been able to find in Edgecombe County was married to William Redden Long and he didn't die until 1849. I just can't seem to find the documentation for these two ancestors and would appreciate hearing from either of you on this. Thanks a lot. Betty Bullock - NC

Dear Chan, I wish I had something to tell you other than the fact that I enjoyed reading your very lucid and well-organized description of your problem. I've tried to keep an eye out for your people for these many years, but they remain elusive. I don't even have suggestions for you. I can say that I would be very surprised to have a burial from a Catholic church of a non-Catholic. My impression is that they fussier about this than other denominations. I also note that you seem to have no records from land deeds. Of course that may well be because they didn't own property -- country folks would ordinarly have land, but it's different for city folks. So, all I can really do is to hope someone has something for you this time. All the best, Howard CEdmondson wrote: > John F.

John F. EDMONDSON c1808-1863, ?Md to Ohio to St. Louis, house carpenter, on 1840, 1850, 1860 census; exempt from military service in 1863; not related to Wm Edmondson, the tailor, who was born in England; first known child born 1835 in Ohio; next child appears to have been born in St. Louis, but there very well could have been travel back and forth on the river highway. He married. Rebecca (unknown) before 1840 census and probably before 1835, maybe in Ohio where child was born. Now one year there is one Albert H. Edmondson, brick layer, in St. Louis; maybe the same Albert H. Edmondson who was a bricklayer in Cincinnati in the 1840s. This Albert H. Edmondson married. in 1833 in Hamilton, Butler Co., Ohio in 1833. He died in Santa Fe, NM in 1881 and was buried in Richmond, Ind., the family hqrs. He was in New Orleans, La. and in CSA service, but switched sides and was the captain of a river boat on the Mississippi. When Boanerges R. Edmondson d. of violent convulsions in 1866 in St. Louis, Mo., the Mo. Rep. said "Cincinnati and New Orleans papers please copy." That's the only way I'm attempting to tie these two men together. I wonder who was expected to read the obit/death notice in Cincinnati and/or New Orleans. (The papers do not appear to have printed the death notices as I can't find them.) There are gaps in the known births of this family. There's no every two or three years pattern. There were miscarriages or deaths, or something, but they do appear to be in descending order with wide gaps between births, the first known being born in 1835 and the last known being born in 1857, a span of twenty-two years. Rebecca unknown Edmondson was b. c1810 in Va or Ky and was a sick nurse on the 1870 census. In 1870 she was with her "first" son Charles Edward Edmondson, b. 1835, Ohio. Her last and only daughter Emma Edmondson, b. c1857 in ?St. Louis, Mo., appears on one census and one only. There are two other records in Emma--she was in the St. Louis Female Hospital for six weeks before she died of TB in 1884. There is a St. Louis death record for her. She was buried in the potter's field and six weeks before being removed to Bellfountaine Cem. in the grave with her mother. Where is Emma on the 1870 and 1880 U.S. census? She resided on Gamble St. in St. Louis on her hospital entry, but I don't know who the head of household was on Gamble Street. Emma had a niece named for her in Texas about 1900, so we knew that she existed for many years before we found a record of her on the 1860 St. Louis census index/census. Son Richard H. Edmondson was on the 1840 and 1850 St. Louis, Mo., census. He drowned in Lyndall's Pond at age ?14. Sons Charles Edward and Boanerges R. Edmondson joined the all Cherokee Mounted Volunteers under Cherokee General Stand Watie IN OKLAHOMA in 1861, both as privates. Charles E. was promoted to Capt of Ordnance by 1865; and Boanerges (a bibical name) R. was Acting Sgt Mjr in the same Cherokee unit. Charles' CSA packet states that he was "shot through the thigh" in Aberdeen, Miss., but I can't find his unit fighting in that area; so I think the hospital report was filed in the wrong packet. It's strange that these two brothers enlisted in the Cherokee nation where they were possibly the only short, blond haired, light skinned, blue eyed men in service, but they did. Their promotions were possibly related to their city education. They wrote well. Both made the trip home. Now, there's another B.R. Edmondson, who was arrested on the streets of St. Louis, Mo., during the War, for swearing at a Yankee guard of prisoners. Could be same guy on leave. He did make it home; died; and was buried from a Catholic cathedral. Are non-catholics buried from catholic catholic cathedrals w/o being recorded as baptized? Charles Edward Edmondson, b. 1835, Ohio, has not been found since the 1870 census in St. Louis, Mo, with his mother, R. Edmondson, sick nurse, aged 60. He is not the Charles Edmondson who married Jennie Cooke, from Ireland, c1873. I've looked all over the 1880 Soundex for several states, and he's not on any of them rearing children. Maybe he's an old bachelor off somewhere who appears as a laborer after 1900 in the St. Louis city directory. There was a son named Edward Edmondson on the 1850 census, aged 11. But that could be a mistake and actually could have been Edwin Fair Edmondson, b. 1848. St. Louis, Mo., who is left off the 1850 census, but does show on the 1860 census, but is married in Texas on the 1870 census, as well on 1880, 1900, and 1910 census in Waco, Texas, enumerated as Edward Edwinson, b. United States. Father and mother born United States; very informative. Hey, researchers, I'm looking for a John F. EDMONDSON, b. c1808, no later than 1809. I haven't found any John F. Edmondson the correct age; the ones that I've found and others have pointed out to me are mostly younger men. Rebecca (unknown) EDMONDSON was born in 1810, according to death certificate, and he always shows up as two years older than she. He has no death certificate; he just disappears from records I've searched after 1863--military exemptions, city directories, and 1870 census. Edwin Fair EDMONDSON is in St. Louis, Mo. in the household with his mother in 1868. Next he married in June 1870 Marilla HOWELL, five years his elder, the daug of a JP in southern Smith Co., Texas. They had two sons by Dec 31, 1872, Samuel William EDMONDSON and Charles Monte (named for his brother and her brother).

Willilam Allen (JH) edmonson b 1825-8 Canada d 14 Jun 1905 Kent co. MI m 15 oct 1846 to Harriet Elizabeth Lull b 9 Feb 1830 Windsor VT d 27 Feb 1923 Grand Rapids MI. I don't know where they were married bu they had 3 children b. NY between 1848-1852 and 5 children b. Grand Rapids MI 1852-1868. All data on William Edmonson is from the census records. I don;'t know where in Canada he was born and no parents. The only clue to Canadian location is that Harriet 's mother Harriet Parick Lull d 21 Jul 1851 in Galt,Ontario Canada, but this is after William & harriet Edmonson were having children in NY state. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am putting this on the Edmondson list because threre is very little action on the Edmonson list. Richard Clark rgclark@bellsouth.net

Orv, I was unable to contact Paul for "last minute information", but do hope we will be able to receive (purchase) the information on the tours (homes, churches etc), that Paul is conducting. I would like to have attended since I descend from Matthew. However, I have had the pleasure of attending another reunion (the Teaford's) in Lexington a few years ago. Two son's of George McNeel Edmiston, Abram (my g.grandfather) and Andrew, married Jennie (g.g.) and Julia Teaford). I have several documents on Matthews family through the McNeels as I told you, and will be making a copy for you to share with the others. This includes the McNeel Cemetery where Matthew's grandson, Andrew and his wife, are buried and also George McNeel Edmiston's wife, Nancy Jordon. It also includes information on David, "heir to James". I have found an Agnes Thompson Edmundson in the court documents of Augusta Co. (Chalkley's) Vol. 3, PP 209, July 4th 1774 as a daughter of William Thompson of Tinkling Springs. Does anyone know who she married and when? Hope those who could make the Reunion have a wonderful time!!

Hello All, I have been sharing research on my mother's Berrys with a group of researchers, three of whom have written a report on the first generation of this family. If you are researching Edmistons, Edmondsons, or other families that had land in the Beverly or Borden Grants in SW VA, you will want to take a look at the maps in this report. Original land owners are shown and/or listed. Because of their size, the maps take some time to download. > http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~berry/Rpt12.htm#Begining On another subject, Howard was wondering what had happened to Prudence, dau of Benj. & Keziah EDM. Maybe she m. the Frederick Ivey, to whom they made a deed in 1812? Nancy Edmondson Wood

LAST MINUTE CHANCE TO DO THE DAVID “TURK” EDMISTON TOUR IN SW VIRGINIA! David Turk Edmiston, his descendants went by Edmondson.

Hello again Lorelle Did I ever tell you how I got your family history? My dad was visiting his cousin in California and gave him a copy of the EFAB. Well someone had given him your family history, he had no use for it, so he sent it back with my dad, so I entered it into my Edmondson data base and made connections through the old EFABs. I was thinking that maybe it was your uncle Mahlon who Sam Edmonson had met.

Hello Lorelle Did I ever tell you that I sent a letter to your brother Mahlon Edmonson in North Dakota. I had estimated a lot of dates on birthdays, and Mahlon called up my wife and was quite perturbed that I had estimated his birthdate too early making him older than actual which is bad enough. I had followed the Mahlon Edmonson name from Mississippi and found him in North Dakota. There couldn't possibly be another Mahlon Edmonson family just like Orvan Edmonson. Is he still in North Dakota? We have another EFAB member in North Dakota now, Charles Edmonson. I just sent out the Spring edition of the EFAB, just before summer arrived. Sorry for being late.
