Kelly, I have some information on Edmondson's in Ontario, Canada. I will summarize some of it below, but I doubt it will do you any good as the time frames are pretty far from yours. Larry Dean Vancouver, WA, USA Descendants of Robert Edmiston 1 Robert Edmiston b: Abt. 1755 Robert and his family were in Argyle Town, Washington Co., NY 1790-1805. They were in Ticonderoga, Essex Co., NY 1805-1817. They probably migrated to the area north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1817. + Jemima ??? b: Abt. 1754 2 Mary Edmondson b: 1785 in Prb Argyle Town(ship), Washington, New York, USA d: Aft. 1871 in Prb Tecumseth Twp., Simcoe, ONT + Abijah Newton b: 21 Jun 1786 in Hubbardston, MA, USA d: Bef. 1847 in Prb Whitchurch Twp., York, ONT 3 Isaac Newton b: 1807 in , , , USA d: 9 Jul 1872 in Maryborough Twp., Wellington, ONT 3 Leonora Newton b: 31 Dec 1808 in , , NY, U.S.A. d: 29 Nov 1892 in East Luther Twp., Dufferin Co. 3 Wesley Newton b: 1811 in , , , USA 3 Amanda "Mandy" Newton b: 15 Nov 1813 in , , , USA d: 30 Apr 1888 in Tecumseth Twp., Simcoe, ONT 3 Lewis Newton b: 1816 in , , , USA d: 6 Jul 1896 in Drayton, Wellington Co., ONT 3 James Newton b: 1818 in , , ONT 3 Sarah "Sally" Newton b: 1821 in , , ONT d: Aft. 1881 in Prb Tecmuseth Twp., Simcoe, ONT 3 Jonas Newton b: 30 Aug 1825 in Prb Whitchurch Twp., York, ONT d: 23 Apr 1908 in Harriston, Wellington, ONT 2 John Edmonson b: 12 May 1788 in Prb. Argyle Town(ship), Washington, NY, USA d: 26 Dec 1857 in Bradford, Simcoe, ONT + Mary Umphrey, b. 1799, d. 20 May 1854 in Bradford, Simcoe, ONT. In his will John left property to Robert Edmunson, "the young man who has been brought up by me." Apparently this was not his natural son. Robert Edmunson can be found in the 1871 and 1881 censuses in Carrick Twp., Bruce Co., Ontario. John also had some unknown relationship with Permelia Ann Edmondson who married Ira Belfry. John left property to Permelia and Ira's sons. 2 Jane Edmondson b: 1792 in Prb Argyle Town(ship), Washington, NY, USA d: 1860 in Wellesley Twp., Waterloo, ONT +m: Abt. 1819 in Prb , York, ONT George W.

It is not known whether he was related to George's wife, but I suspect he was. James Edmonson sold this property in 1852. The 1837 and 1847 directories of Whitchurch Twp. also show James Edmonson, Henry Edmondson and James Edmonston living near George Dean in Whitchurch Twp. 3 Elizabeth Jane Dean b: 27 Apr 1819 in Prb , York , ONT d: 27 Dec 1898 in Newmarket, York, ONT 3 John Dean b: 24 Feb 1824 in Whitchurch Twp., York, ONT d: 31 Jan 1910 in Burford Twp., Brant, ONT 3 Sarah Ann Dean b: Apr 1825 in Prb Whitchurch Twp., York, ONT d: 10 Jan 1905 in Harriston, Wellington, ONT 3 James Dean b: 1827 in Prb Whitchurch Twp., York , ONT d: 4 Mar 1899 in Harriston, Wellington, ONT 3 William Dean b: 19 Sep 1830 in Prb Whitchurch Twp., York, ONT d: Aft. 1901 in prb Tecmuseth Twp., Simcoe, ONT 3 Levi Dean b: 19 Nov 1833 in nr Aurora, Whitchurch Twp., York, ONT d: 27 Nov 1912 in Burford Twp., Brant, ONT 3 Alfred A.

Hi Nancy The Henry R. EDMONDSON you mentioned (should be Henry F. EDMONDSON) was my ggrandfather. My first evidence on him is his marriage to Nancy E. BALTIMORE in the Choctaw Nation on 19 January 1862. I don't know where in the Choctaw Nation they married, but Nancy's home at that time was in Scott County, Arkansas which bordered on the Choctaw Nation. Henry then enlisted or was drafted in the Confederate forces. He later deserted and enlisted in the First Arkansas Infantry (Union) My problem is to find out who were his parents and where did they live? Have been searching for long time.

Since researching my EDM family, which settled in Benton Co., AR, after the Civil War, I have found that many of the early settlers of that area had ties with the Cherokees of upper GA. Like Chan's family origins, mine continue to be an enigma. My Richard Edmondson was b. 1805 in SC, m. Margaret & was in Union Co., GA by 1834 (WHITES AMONG THE CHEROKEES). There are only a couple of mentions of a Richard EDM in SC prior to 1834 and one was in the notice of buyers at the estate sale of a Joseph Underwood on Long Creek. Other buyers included members of the Quarles & Barron families. Elijah Barron & his Quarles wife were living but one hh from my EDMs in Union Co., which leads me to think that Margaret may have been a Barron or a Quarles. My gg-gf settled near Vaughn, AR & family members are buried in the Barron Cemetery located there. So, there seems to be a continued association. Vaughn has occasionally been spelled "Vann" and there seems to have been an association between the Vann's and the EDMs, as Chan pointed out. I bought a copy of MURRAY CO. HERITAGE on a quick trip to the Vann House in Spring Place, GA. An exhibit there has a tiny photo of James EDM, who owned the Vann house in the 1850's. His appearance is of a type similar to that of my EDM ancestors, so we could be related. James EDM was in Murray Co by the mid 1830's and there is a brief mention of his father, Thomas. At that time, upper GA was Cherokee land and James Vann was 1/2 Cherokee & 1/2 Scot. His father may have been an Indian trader. Indeed, there was an old Indian road leading from TN down through upper GA & SC. Trade goods would have been conveyed over this road through Spring Place. I heard briefly from one EDM researcher, who said that some of the EDMs of SC were Indian traders and associated with the Brock & Sinyard families. (I haven't been able to learn anything else about them.) If they were traders, this could explain the scarcity of information on our families. After the Trail of Tears, many of the upper GA families followed their Cherokee familiy, friends or neighbors into NW AR & OK. James of Spring Place had a brother, Samuel, who settled in Wash. Co, AR. In looking at SC records, there are few EDMs there before 1800. There were a John & John, Jr. EDM on a 1756 Greenville, SC Militia List. A John Edmundson & Ths. Gready were on the list of RW prisoners at Ft. Morris, which was surrendered by Mjr. Lane. They served in the 3rd SC Battalion. My g-gf & his brother went all the way to Cherokee Co, NC to enlist in the Confederate company of a Gready, so this is of interest to me. Rootsweb has a list of Nash's Regt. of SC Volunteers, who suffered great hardships in the Creek War phase of the War of 1812. Among them were Pvts. John & Saml. Edmondson, Pvts. John & Jos. Edmonson, & Pvt. Joseph Edmundson. Old Caleb Edmundson & some of his sons settled briefly in SC. Also, a Frederick Co., VA, Ths. Edmondson m. to an Ann "Nancy" followed his sons (maybe other relatives, too) into SC, where they all lived in proximity & appear on the early 1800 censes. Dr. Hugh Edmondson of OK wrote a book about his descent from this group. An Edmonston researcher claims this Ths., but I am inclined to think that he is desc'd from Ths/Essex. There is a James EDM living apart from this group, whom I am more inclined to believe was an Edmonston, since he is living near other Edmonston associated families. In a later GA census, my Richard states that his father was from VA. There are a couple of families descending from Ths/Essex in which the name, Richard, appears. One is Benjamin's line (Richard Coleman); one is from a Bryant (Richard of Franklin Co., VA, whose sons went to Ogle. Co., GA). This is pretty much all I know of the early SC EDMs. Nancy Edmondson Wood
