This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Edmondson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EaU.2ACIB/313 Message Board Post: I am descended from Frances Swanson Edmondson, daughter of Crawford Edmondson and Hannah Reese. The information I have Crawford looks to be reliable but incomplete. My research indicates that Crawford was the son of Humphrey Edmondson (Edmundson) and Frances Swanson. I have what appears to be good information on Frances Swanson, her parents, and siblings. However, I am finding Humphrey Edmondson to be a challenge. It appears that Humphrey moved (with several family members) from Franklin County, Virginia, to Wilkes County, Georgia, about 1785. Wilkes County was split in 1793 and Humphrey lived in what became Oglethorpe County until his death (about 1800). I have identified the names of three of Humphrey's children, (Crawford, John, and Mary), but have little information on them. I have found conflicting information on Humphrey's parents and siblings and am very interested in getting the true story. Thank you for any help you can provide.

I was asked last year to keep a database of proposed subscribers to the EFAB newsletter. I have not heard anything about the newsletter since last summer, so I cannot answer your questions about the status of the newsletter. To my knowledge there was only the database of potential subscribers and no funds were passed between any individuals. The only part I had in it was the database, requested of me by Robert and Marvin, and I have today forwarded the database to them: "ROBERT M. EDMONDSON II" <[email protected]> and to "Marvin Edmondson" <[email protected]> I wish I could answer your questions about the newsletter. Maybe Robert and Marvin will respond to your questions on this mailing list. Thanks to all JoLee Gregory Spears

Larry... There are some explainations I need to bring up.... 1) As far as my immediate family goes I was fortunate to be born into a generation that i am 30 years to late, (as far as my uncles go... my father was the youngest of 9 children .. eldest brother born june 1898 and my father born aug 1921... hence 23 years younger than his eldest brother..) which gives me close to the same seperation with my 1st cousins... ( myself at 49 yrs and my cousin charlie in his mid 70's ) and other cousins that have now passed while in their 80's. 2) While being the youngest of this tribe I was also fortunate to be tended by many of the elder women of the family because most of the time I was to young to play with my elder cousins as not to be hurt... putting me in the kitchens and being fed and listning to the many stories and tales of our family. As time went on I was able to piece a large portion of our family history before I was 15 years old. (1965) In 1968 we had a family reunion in the Tacoma area with nearly 200 imediate family members attending which was a great event for all. During this time I was able to start coping information given to me by the family. Along with the Stories and Tales ... 3) there were several Bibles ( one of which was my grandmothers (Ruby.. who was considered to be the record keeper of their time .. along with communicating with the majority of the other family via postal)) at this reunion that I was able to hand copy the family history that was listed in them. This is where the connection came with the Canadian Edm's ... thru the linking of information in these bibles ... and the links of the verbal communication, it put me to a point of contacting some of the decendents of other Edm. families that I was not sure of and thru many hours and dollars on the phone started to fill in some of the blanks. Many of these contacts were of no value in my search but some were. I was very fortunate to be able to spend alot of quality time with these elder family members and learn so much. Most of these members lived well into their late 80's and even to their mid 90's before passing There was also a lot of talk in reguards to many of their cousins, aunts-uncles, g-aunts and uncles, ..etc. of other Edm's families that lived in many other states (TX, OK, MO, NE, IA, CA, and about 10 other states) that I also tried to contact by mail and phone... some were a success and some were not. The rest of my research is from the vast library data across the country and the data that I recieved thru the LDS archives and as you may know this LDS data was very limited some 20 years ago as to what it is now. As far as the accuracy of my family tree and the info that was used to come to this point, well nothing is completely foolproof but thru logic and good luck it can give us a pattern that is fiesible, and with some variations in birth and death dates throught the time the family trees that we produce can only be used as a guide or reference because of all the (HARD) proof that was missing or destroyed thru time will never be able to be proven. When DNA testing becomes even more affordable and collection centers of this information can be linked, then maybe the proof that is needed will be available. As with regular history, most is compiled from truth, lore and pretty much B.S. , so it is our part to try and eliminate the B.S. and come up with the difference. Also you may have noticed that even the LDS records are not in their most correct and complete form, and errors do prevail at some point. All we can do is modify when the errors are corrected. The family tree that I have compiled is the reference's from the many hundreds of family members and resorce centers, and positioned to this arrangement with the best of my abilities. Robert II p.s. Thank you for the tip on New York.... it gives me more rocks to look under... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.

G Uncle James Penland, served in the 52nd IN during C/W, spent time in MS,AR etc. returned to IN, came down with TB, returned to Little Rock area with our g grandad. My quest is: did old family ties or the cold IN winters bring the Penlands back south ?Did James go south for the "waters"? Penland like, Patton,Westall.Britton are some of the old Scotch-Irish names that settled NC. Thanks, Mark

Robert, The Henry Edmondson that I mentioned in my earlier e-mail appears in Walton's 1837 directory of Toronto and vicinity on lot 18, concession 3 in Whitchurch Twp. York Co. Also in that directory are my ancestor, George Dean (whose wife was Jane Edmondson) on lot 20, conc. 3, and James Edmonson on lot 20 conc. 2. These lots are 2 to 3 miles due east of Aurora. Henry doesn't appear in Brown's 1846-47 directory of Toronto and vicinity, but George Dean, James Edmonston and William Edmonston do, all in the same vicinity as in 1837. I have done a lot of research on these families and can't say whether these Henry, James and William Edm-- were brothers of my Jane. As I said in my earlier e-mail, George Dean and his wife sold their property to a James Edmonson in 1847, so we know there was at least a business relationship there. I found the will of John Edmonson of Bradford, Simcoe Co. which establishes that Jane Dean and "Polly" Newton were his sisters. The enumeration of the household of Robert Edminston in Ticonderoga, Essex Co., NY in 1810 includes plenty of children that could be Henry, James and William. In addition to the oldest male and female which would be Robert and his wife, there is a male and female age 16-25 which would be John and Jane. Mary/Polly was married before 1810 and can be found in another household with her husband. This leaves unaccounted for three males and one female below age 10 and one male age 10-15. Despite all the research I have done, I have never been able to give any names to these children. In the past I have corresponded with three people who are descended from a Henry Edmondson. According to the 1880 census taken in the Cascade Precinct, Clackamas Co., OR, he was born in 1806 or 1807 in Vermont. He was enumerated in the household of his son, Charles Edmundson, who was born about 1845 in Canada. The death record of Charles who died in Portland, Multnomah Co., OR in 1915 states that his father was Henry Edmondson, born in Vermont. The clues that sent me looking in New York state for the parents of my Jane Edmondson were a marriage and a death record of her niece, Lenora Newton. One says Lenora was born in New York State, the other says she was born in Vermont. Actually, Washington and Essex Counties in New York State are right on the border with Vermont, and both Vermont and New York claimed this area in Revolutionary War times. Lenora's Newton ancestors can be found in Vermont records. I would definitely be interested in whatever information you have on your Henry Edmondson.
