My g-g-grandfather Joseph EDMONDSON was born in York County 17 November 1839. Married Euphemia CAMERON (of the ROBSON/CAMERON line). US 1889 census has them living in Colfax County, Nebraska and they came to Alberta Canada in 1893. US census info has Joe's mother as born in Nova Scotia and father born in Scotland. I have not determined who his parents were nor a marriage date to Euphemia, so am always excited to see anyone else working on Ontario Edmondson's. I am aware of a numerous Edmondson families in Ontario during the mid to late 1800s but have not yet gotten to the point of researching these to try to connect Joe. Reference book "The Great Canadians 1600 - 1900" has 51 EDMONDSON, EDMONSON, EDMONSTON, and EDMONSTONE individuals listed. The Ontario Genealogy Society has an excellent website (do not have the link, sorry) that may be of some help, Larry. Would like to share further information with you as we find it.

I would appreciate anything anyone might have on them. Here are a few bits and pieces I have learned about them. Capt. William Graham (he is sometimes referred to as Col. or Lt. Col.) was appointed in 1794 by Governor John Graves Simcoe to superintend the construction of the government buildings in York (Toronto). Before that Capt. Graham lived in Nova Scotia. He was one of the earliest settlers in Whitchurch Twp., arriving about 1798. He was granted more than 3000 acres in recognition of his military service. This land included lots 76 & 77 in the first concession, lots 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23 & 25 in the second concession and lots 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24 in the third concession of Whitchurch Twp. Capt. William Graham had at least three sons: William and twin sons Peter and Adam. Peter and Adam inherited the land after their older brother William died. Capt. Graham's residence was on lot 19, conc. 3. Adam Graham's second marriage was to Elizabeth EDMONDSON. They married about 1820 and had six sons and two daughters. George Dean married Jane EDMONDSON about 1818 probably in Markham or Whitchurch Twp. In Feb 1834 George Dean bought the south half of lot 20, conc. 3 from Adam Graham. George Dean and his family resided there until Feb 1847 when he and his wife, Jane, sold the half lot to James EDMONSON of Whitchurch Twp., yeoman. Abijah Newton married Mary "Polly" EDMONDSON before 1807, probably in Ticonderoga, Essex Co., NY, USA. They removed from there to Canada about 1817. Walton's 1837 directory lists Abigail [sic] Newton on lot 19, conc. 3, Whitchurch Twp. Brown's 1846-47 directory lists M. Newton and James Newton on that lot. Presumably, Abijah died between 1837 and 1846, M. Newton was his wife, Mary, and James Newton was their 27-year old son. In Mar 1848 William Graham EDMONDSON of Whitchurch Twp., gentleman, sold lots 21 and 22, conc. 2 to James EDMONSON. The deed mentions Margaret Graham EDMONDSON. These two lots were among those originally granted to Capt. William Graham. In Mar 1850 James EDMONSON and his wife, Margaret, sold the south half of lot 21, conc. 2 to Alexander Wallace, probably with a mortgage. In Oct 1850 James EDMONSON and his wife, Margaret, sold the north half of lot 21, conc. 2 to Welden Playter, they sold the west half of lot 22, conc. 2 to Thomas Knight, and they sold the east half of that lot to Thomas Reynolds. All of these were sold with mortgages. When James EDMONDSON certified the discharge of the mortgage with Thomas Reynolds in Nov 1853, James was of Mount Vernon, Knox Co., Ohio, USA. In Mar 1852 James EDMONSON, yeoman, formerly of Whitchurch Twp., now of Mount Vernon, Knox Co., Ohio and his wife, Margaret, sold the south half of lot 20, conc. 3 to John McBride of the township and county of York. In 1831 or 1832 John EDMANSON built a tavern at Bradford, Simcoe Co. Walton's 1837 directory listed John EDMONDSON on lot 16, conc. 6, West Gwillimbury Twp., Simcoe Co. (essentially at Bradford). According to his gravestone John EDMONSON died Dec 1857 at or near Bradford. In his will he leaves money to his sister Polly Newton, to his sister Jane Dean and to Jane's son, John Dean.

Hi list, Is anyone on this list researching the EDMONDSON families who lived in the vicinity of Aurora, Whitchurch Twp., York Co., Ontario, Canada about 1800-1850?

Thanks. I had no idea about this source in Ardmore. I live about a two hour drive from Ardmore. Maybe and uncle EDM married there. My ancestor Robert H. HOWELL b. Powhatan Co. VA, 1778, was the white man hired by Rich Joe VANN to oversee Spring Place properties in then Murray Co., GA. He died and is buried in the Moravian Cemetery at Spring Place in 1834, as were his three brothers. Robert H. HOWELL is referenced several times in the Oklahoma Chronicles(?exact title, multi volume set). He was the white overseer and brick mason on Spring Place, also on the Hildebrand and McNair (daughters) homes/mansions in Polk Co., Tennessee. Several HOWELL descendants moved to Indian Territory, but after the removal by a few years. Somebody took the remembrances of Robert H(enry) Howell from Spring Place, GA/Polk Co., Tenn. to Indian Territory in order for them to be published in the (chronicles) of Oklahoma. Fast forward twenty-five years. Two EDM brothers, one b. Ohio, 1835, the other c1840 in St Louis, MO, enlisted in 1st Cherokee Mounted Volunteers, CSA in Indian Territory. Ten years later their younger brother married in Smith Co., Texas, the daughter b. 1843, of Robert N.H.HOWELL, JP previously from Polk Co., Tenn. After The WAR, these two EDM brothers returned to St. Louis. MO., also the "home" of CSA Gen E. Kirby SMITH. The father of Capt Charles Edward EDM and Acting Sgt Mjr Boanerges R (Biblical name) EDM, was John F. EDM, b c1808, either MD or VA; John F. EDM m. Rebecca unk, b. 1810, VA (ref censuses) or KY (ref Bellefontaine cemetery record, St Louis, MO). Capt Charles E. EDM, b. 1835, Ohio, is not in St. Louis, MO, marriage records, but is recorded as a widower on the 1880 census of St. Louis. He may have married in Okla. I desc from the youngest known son of John F. EDM and Rebecca unk, Edwin Fair EDM, b. 1848, St Louis, MO, but omitted from the 1850 census of St Louis, MO. Edwin Fair EDM's descendants in Texas, are the only known desc of John F. EDM and wf Rebecca. Edwin Fair EDM m1 Marilla HOWELL, m2 her older sister Mariah Caroline HOWELL Alexander King, widow with four children, two from each previous marriage. Edwin Fair EDM m2 in Smith Co., Texas, three months after the death of wf1. Edwin Fair EDM and Mariah Caroline HOWELL, had one dau, Cora Lee EDM, in 1877, but he abandoned her due to conflict with the four children from her previous marriages. He tried being a farm laborer in Comanche Co., Texas, ref 1880 census, where his two sons resided with the HOWELL uncles and grandfather. Before 1890, Edwin Fair EDM, gourmet cook educated in St. Louis, MO, cooked in Waco, Texas until his death in 1911. He is listed as Edward EDM in Waco city directories, on the mortuary record, signed by my grandfather, and in the McLennon Co., Texas, death records. His is "Edward Edwinson" on the 1910 census. I found him with soundex. I am planning a research trip to St Louis, MO, after Sept 15, 2004. Any ideas for research. I have no idea where in Ohio that John F. EDM and Rebecca resided in 1835. EFAB Editor William Edmondson always thought that he must descend from the Richmond, Ind. Quaker Edmondsons who spilled over into Butler Co., Ohio. There is no marriage record for him in Hamilton, Butler Co., Ohio. But neither is there a marriage record for Albert H. EDM, brick layer, who resided in Cincinnati, Louisville, KY, New Orleans, St Louis, MO, and died in a hospital in Santa Fe, NM, and is buried back home in Richmond, Indiana. Served first in CSA in New Orleans; escaped, was a Union river boat captain. Widow's pension application says Albert H. EDM married in Hamilton, Butler Co., Ohio, in 1834 and was known to his wife's family for a decade. I got excited when I found my John F. EDM, house carpenter and Albert H. EDM, brick layer, both in St Louis, MO. in the 1850s. But Albert H. EDM keeps moving on. Albert H. EDM, bur Richmond, Indiana, is not the same as Albert H. EDM, b. NC, had large family by three wives (one a LIGON), by 1880, resided 3 miles south of DeLeon, Comanche Co., Texas, on property adjoining Christopher Lamanthus HOWELL, guardian of Charles Monte EDMONDSON, my grandfather. This Comanche Co., Texas, Albert H. EDM's son, Albert H. EDM, Jr., used to walk eight miles to my grandfather's residence NW of DeLeon to pilfer my grandmother's warmer on her wooden cook stove and stuff a baked peach pie or two into his coat pocket. My father, aged ~5 at the time (1914) called this younger man his "cousin" though obviously, he wasn't. This Albert H. EDM of Comanche Co., Texas is well researched backwards and forwards. Data from a Mr. MUNN, of Oklahoma, is published in the EFAB.

Maybe the reason you can't find marriage records is that Native Americans had to get permission to marry. Many married at Federal Courthouse in Ardmore OK. I hope this helps.

It's in the back of my mind that the line which includes Augustus Vam Edm. had been connected somehow to the Bryant Edmondson who came early to NC, and who was out of the Essex Co. VA Edmondson family. But I may be dreaming. If I'm not, the name Richard runs regularly through that family, at least the ones who stayed in VA for a while. James Howard Edmondson and his father Edmond Augustus Jr. are descended from Robert Edmondson and Isabella Buchanan, Robert being the son of William Edmiston Sr. of Washington Co. VA. Robert is a distant uncle of mine. This family is not at all connected to the Essex Co. VA family. It is Scotch-Irish, whereas I have a hunch that the Essex Co. people are of English origin.

Greetings, EDM- researchers! Slowly but surely I am pursuing my g-g-gf William "Billy" Edmisten from Hancock county Indiana. I have asked for the assistance of a professional genealogist who specializes in Indiana records and has been a great help. Which has brought me to these questions: 1) In Early Landowners 1828-1837 of Hancock County, Indiana [by Maurice Holmes, Oct. 1974] there is a reference to David and Elizabeth Edmonson of Henry county IN (adjacent to Hancock) as purchasers of land in Hancock co. Does anyone know these people? We are checking on the land records to see if there is any connection between this property purchase and the land that Billy and Daniel (brother maybe? not sure) are taxed on in the 1840 Hancock county tax records. 2) Billy was born in Ohio in 1812. I have been trying to find a possible family with an 8 year old son in the 1820 census. Somehow I missed the fact that there was a David Edmonson family in Champaign county Ohio at this time. Besides their youngest son under 10 (Billy?), there are two older boys and one older sister. It looks like David Edmonson Jr & wife? are close by or maybe in same household. Does anyone know this family? I am of course wondering if this is the same David who buys land in Hancock county IN a few years later. Any advice? 3) I also found some indication that Billy's wife, listed as Mary Ann Gordon on the marriage certificate from Shelby county (adjacent to Hancock), may have been married before Billy. Her maiden name may have been Kauble and the first son listed in the 1850 census Andrew may have been her son from a first marriage to an unknown Gordon. Her parents John and Elizabeth Kauble appear to have moved west at some time also, ending up in Taylor county Iowa, where Billy and Mary were by 1850. I plan an August road trip with my brother back to Fremont and Taylor counties in Iowa, Worth county Missouri, and over to Cass county Nebraska. This seems to be my family's "Bermuda Triangle". We'll try to dig up more county-specific data there. If any of you have connections or insights, I'd love to hear them. Warm regards from drizzly Seattle- Carol Edmisten (yes, it's raining...in the middle of summer!) PS/What's up with the EFAB bulletin? Is it still in existence? I've just spent two days over in Port Angeles at the Clallam County Genealogy Library going through a full set of EFAB back issues. (Thanks to LaVeta Edmonson who donated them). I'd hate to see this resource dry up.

Thank you. I pulled the list from a web site on King's Mountain. I am certainly not an authority on King's Mountain. My mother was an Edmondson from Blount Co, TN. Stan

The Fort Edmondson to which Joan refers was in Washington Co. VA, near Glade S;rings. The Edmondsos who gathered there to go to K.M. are the ones whom I described in a recent e-mail. The Buchanans probably for the most part were members of the Samuel Buchanan family. If Matthew's son William was at the battle, I wonder in which company he served. The three Williams I listed are all proved as being prsent,. One of them, the William who was son of Williams Sr., later made a deposition about his service -- he was only 15 ykears old when he went. He is my 2g grandfather. Colonle or Major William and Capt. William are well documented. Howard V.

Hello Stan, According to the information I have, there were "eight Edmistons and five Buchanans who went out from Fort Edmiston (meaning a fortified house etc) to fight at King's Mountain." According to the Historical Sketches of Pocahontas County WV, some of these Edmistons were the descendants of Matthew Edmiston, William and James specifically.

I have never been sure that anyone has accurately listed the Edmistons/Edmondsons at King's Mountain. Here's a listing off the top of my head: I. Sons of John Edmiston of Augusta Co. 1. Col. (then Major) William Edmiston 2. Samuel Edmiston 3. Lt. Robert Edmiston Sr. (killed) 4. John Edmiston (wounded) 5. Ensign Andrew Edmiston (killed) II. Unknown parentage, but married to Elizabeth Edmiston, sister of the above four: 6. Capt. William Edmiston (killed) III. Sons of William Edmiston Sr., (son of Robert of Augusta Co.) 7. Lt. Robert Edmondson Jr (wounded) 8. William Edmondson IV. Unknown parentage 9 Moses Edmiston (some reports say he was killed, but no Moses is known to have died at this time) 10.. Thomas Edmiston. Could be one of unknown parentage who d. 1799, or could be another son of William Edmiston Sr. The latter was in Nashville in 1780 and it is doubtful that he made the trip to South Carolina. The Samuel present could be another son of William Edmiston Sr. There are muster rolls in the Virginia State Library which can shed light on all this. I have a copy of one of them,. Thee are also valuable data in the Campbell-Preston Papers in the Library of Congress, and also, of course, in the Lyman C. Draper Papers in the Wisconsin State Library. Howard V.

There were 5 Edmiston's and 5 Edmondson's at Kings Mountain. Looked them up after seeing the PBS episode. Edmiston's William John Samuel Thomas Robert Edmondson's Andrew- Killed Robert, Jr- Wounded Robert, Sr- Killed William- Killed William

Speaking of Kings Mountain, PBS is currently running Redcoats and Rebels and part or all of one episode is about Kings Mountain. I just caught the last of the show but they talked about Kings Mountain - the battle and a celebration/re-enactment they have there each year. The also show the obelisk and happened to catch Thomas Edmondson if I am not mistaken but if there were two there I can not tell you which one.

There are Edmondsons who claimed Cherokee ancestry in the line of Ensign Andrew Edmiston/Edmondson who was killed at King's Mountain in 1780. He was from Washington Co.

I am pretty familiar with this Edmondson family, and as far as I know, there are no marriages with Native Americans. The governor, who was also a senator, and his brother, a congressman, are fairly recent, maybe both still alive. There are Edmondsons who claimed Cherokee ancestry in the line of Ensign Andrew Edmiston/Edmondson who was killed at King's Mountain in 1780. He was from Washington Co. VA., but I believe his Cherokee descendants were mostly from Claiborne Co. TN. I have seen accounts of them in the Cherokee Rolls. Howard V.

The Memphis Edmondson's (Belle Edmondson's family) also had a line in Oklahoma, Governor and various appointed positions. An Edmondson from this line was also one of the government officials that processed native Americans that were moved to Oklahoma from FLA and/or ALA.

Terry, I, too, have noticed the Edmondson names on the Dawes Roll and possibly on that other roll, name forgotten. I didn't find anything or didn't find any connection at the time. Those two books are in our Dallas (TX) PL genealogy section. And DPL also has the Rolls on microfilm, one or two drawers of film. Since that time, I have had a DNA test (Ancestry.com) which shows that I have 12% Native American ancestry. I also had two blond, blue eyed uncles, Edm, from St.Louis that served in the 1st Volunteer Mounted Cherokee. They were promoted from Pvt to Sgt Mjr and to Captain of Ordnance. As the marriage customs in the Indian Territory were not at all similar to those of the missionaries therein, either of my uncles could have fathered children. I know that I can't find a marriage record in St Louis, MO, for Capt Charles E(dward) Edmondson, b. 1835, Ohio somewhere, reared in St Louis, and served in the CSA in Indian Territory. So he could have been an absentee father to someone in IT. Charles E. Edmondson is on the 1880 U.S. Census, St. Louis, MO, listed as widower. I've been requesting other males to have the DNA test (It wasn't that expensive) to determine whether or no we descend from the same immigrant ancestor. This test is too complicated for me to understand, but I think it's very helpful if several Edm males would take the DNA test. Maybe others have and I'm unaware.... Joel Chan Edm...

Hi Teri I have no information on the list you mention, but their was a rumor in my family that my great grandmother may have been part choctaw. She was married in the choctaw nation in 1862 to Henry F. Edmondson. Her maiden name was Nancy Baltimore.
