Dear Beverly, I am a decendant of a Louisiana Edmonson, William Edgar Edmonson who moved to Louisiana from Missippi about 1900. His father was John Alexander Edmondson. If you need info on this line, I might be able to help you. I tried sending to Nightphyre@aol.com and it said you were not a known member. Do I have the right E-mail address? Lorelle Edmonson Hendricks

Bill, Wish I was going as far as New Orleans.....only as far as Alexandria, and Pineville Louisiana. Are your Edmondson from Louisiana? When I get home, maybe we should compare some notes. Beverly

Dear Beth, They are all in the government witness protection program. Just kidding, but they might as well be for all that is known about them. You can rely on the scholarly research of Dr. Jones.

Hmmm. It could be the govt. witness program. They had to join the descendants of my also elusive John Wilson. Thanks for the information about Howard Jones. I have been nervous about "scholarly research" since two of my main lines given in Va. Family Genealogies and the John Bennett Boddie books turned out to have major flaws, and of course, those flaws were with the people that I was searching. Genealogy is quickly leading me to believe that I am suffering from paranoid symptoms as well as pack ratism. (boy, is spell check going to love that term!)

A few years back, my husband and I were in Abingdon, Va. which is the county seat of Washington County Va. You may be able to find some more information on the Edmondsons of that area. The person in charge was interested since our name was Edmondson. Don't know if this will help. Abingdon is 15 or 20 miles from Bristol,Va.-Tenn. The court house is located on Main St. and the Historical Society was very helpful. Mildred Edmondson (Earl)

Howard, I was very anxious for your response on this as I have never thought Sterling belonged to the Benjamin who married Martha Tomlinson because he would have been only 18-19 when he paid pole tax in Mecklenburg County; however, I guess that was possible. We have few records on Sterling and the only census record that I have is the 1840 Hamilton County census which lists him between 50-60. I have not located the original record from Mecklenburg where he paid pole tax in 1810 nor have I researched the Mecklenburg census or deed records for that time period. You mentioned before that Sterling was the middle name for some of the Tn. Edmondsons. I have recently located @ least two Sterlings in addition to my Sterling. Sterling is listed in tax records of Montgomery County TN in 1891 and there is a Sterling Edmondson, Sr., of Nottoway County VA in 1870. I have not reviewed these records. Yes, I would like to have a copy of your records and thanks for all the information you provide on the Edmondsons'. Charolette Edmonson Sage

Dear All: I promised to say more about the Benjamin Edmondson family of Blount Co. TN, and here I am. I'm stumped as to identifying that Benjamin. Some comments anyway. 1. The first marriage, to Keziah Hood, may well be true, but the second is probably not to Martha Tomlinson. That marriage came in 1791, too late, and the bondsman was Benjamin Organ. Organ m. 1789 Susanna Edmondson, d/o Upton, and since Susanna had a brother Benjamin, b. 9 Oct. 1770, I would bet that Benjamin was s/o Upton. Landon C. Bell, The Old Free State, (1905), II, 210, thinks that this is the right Benjamin and gives him a son Upton A. --but without proof. Of course that doesn't rule out the possibility of a MARY Tomlinson who m. Benjamin of Blount Co. 2. I don't know much about the Benjamin who m. Keziah Hood: what data I have listed under him could belong to almost any Benjamin, with two exceptions, both from Mecklenburg Co. records: DB XIV, 567, 11 Jan. 1812. Benjamin Edmondson to daughters Prudence, Barbara, Agnes, Ann Eliza and William Rudd, husband of Elizabeth Rudd my daughter. Furniture and livestock D B XV, 13. 19 Oct. 1812. Benjamin (x) Edmondson/Keziah to Frederick Ivey, rec. 19 Oct. 1812. The second deed obviously belongs to this Benjamin. It could mark when he was selling out in Mecklenburg Co. preparing to move on to Blount Co. To my surprise, I find that the first deed almost certainly belongs to this Benjamin too. One of the daughters is named Barbara -- an unusual name for this family.-- and this Barbara would presumably be of the right age &c. to be the Barbary of the Blount Co. will. But that's not all! I just looked at Blount Co. marriages, and lo and behold! Agnes Edmondson m. 8 Feb. 1822, Robert Finley Ann Eliza Edmondson m. 28 Aug. 1823, David George Now Barbara surely suggested a match, but when we find 3 out of the 4 unmarried daughters, and all with names that are not exactly run of the mill, in Blount Co., I think the match is clear and definite. Now I wonder what happened to Prudcene? So it seems that Benjamin in his will mentions only 3 out of 8 children, which seems extraordinary, to put it mildly. But which Benjamin is he? Benjamin is a common name in the Essex Co. Edmondsons, but all of a sudden there aren't very many who qualify as possibilities for the Benjamin who died in Blount Co. in 1823 In fact, I only see the one, and I am beinning to wonder if there are more whom we have not yet discovered. But that has to be all for today. I did put all the Blount Co. data about Benjamin into my format, and will be glad to send it to anyone who wants to look at it. Nothing much new there -- I just tried to stick together everything I could glean from what you others have done. Best, Howard.

Charlotte, I seem to remember believing that Mary was a Hightower. I had this line pretty much figured out, but had a computer crash & lost much of my data. Howard Jones & Sheila Anderson-Lewis put a transcript of Ths.'s will in the archives at Rootsweb on 17 Apr. 2000. Ths. mentions his wife, Grissell, & youngest son, Benj., along with other unnamed ch. Lunen. Co. DBk VII:190 shows that the 307 a. tract that Ths. left his sons, was divided 14 May 1761 by Richard, Wm., & Saml. Son Benj. rec'd the 100 a. home plantation. This would indicate that both Ths. & Grissell were d. by 1761. Ths. was the son of Benj., Sr. & his wife, Margaret. It is believed that she was an Underwood, because of the Underwood-Upton tie. LUNENBURG THE OLD FREE STATE is the source for the 4 ch of Benj., Sr.: Ths., Benj. (Jr.), Upton & Mary. Tyler's magazine gives the date of Benj., Sr.'s will as 23 Nov. 1726, pr'd 21 Nov. 1727, Essex Co. According to LUNEN. (above) Upton's will was dated 25 May 1771 & pr'd 24 Oct. 1771 in Amelia Co, VA. He named wife, Mary, son Benj., dau Constance wife of Edgecomb Suggett, Mary (m. a Robertson) & gch Constance Robertson. It's possible that the Benj., who m. Martha Tomlinson, was the son of Upton. I believe that this family was discussed in Mar./Apr. exchanges that should be in the Rootsweb EDMONDSON-L archives. Nancy Edmondson Wood

Nancy, I have been researching the Lunenburg County Deeds where Benjamin was very active in buying and selling real estate. Two of the Deeds mention Mary the wife of Benjamin. One deed is dated June 8, 1786 when Mary Witnessed the sale of land from Wm. Chambers and Sarah to William Hardy. The second deed is dated April 11,1787 from George & Susannah Hightower of Campbell County and Benjamin & Mary Edmundson of Lunenburg to Thomas Hamlin. The deed further states that Mary, the wife of Benjamin Edmundson, came into court and relinquished her right of dower. I guess anything is possible, but do we think this is the same Benjamin that married Keziah Hood in Mecklenburg County in October 1785 and six months later he married Mary (last name unknow)before June 8, 1786 and then later married Martha Tomlinson in Lunenburg in 1791? Is there another Benjamin that hasn't been accounted for in Lunenburg? Nancy, this is probably how we had Mary Tomlinson instead of Martha. Charolette Edmonson Sage

Nancy, your family settled in Benton County? You have probably heard of the Carnahan family from Washington and Benton County. Is your family related to the Edmonsons' in Carroll County? My grandmother, Mary Dee Carnahan Edmonson was a Carnahan with grandparents from the Cane Hill area. Charolette Edmonson Sage
