Hi List, My name is Calvin Austin Edmundson. My earliest known Edm is Hubbard Edmundson b.1811 d. 1886. He is my gggggrandfather. My Edmundson family comes out of Wayne County, NC. We have some family in South Carolina, Georgia, and still have some Edmundsons that own farms in Wayne County. Two of us (including myself and a 1st cousin) live in Southern California now. What I am most interested in learning: 1) Who is Hubbard's father? I believe, but have not proved, that Hubbard is the son of Elizabeth Edmundson of Wayne County. She was the only Edm listed in the 1820 census that had a children that would match the age of Hubbard at that time. I was able to rule out the others from establised family trees. She was listed as the Head of the Household. No father. 2) Is Hubbard the brother of Calvin Edmundson of the same period in Wayne County? Both were only about 1 year apart in birth. Calvin lived next door to Elizabeth (she was 65 at the time). I assume he was one of her sons. As I mentioned earlier, she had two sons of the same age bracket. No father listed. I believe Hubbard was the other son. One other clue: Hubbard named his youngest son Calvin(whom I'm named after), presumably in honor of his brother. And Calvin named one of his children Hubbard, in lue of the honor. Of course, it's not solid evidence, but it does make you think..... 3) If I can find Hubbards father, I am sure that I can take my family back much earlier. Most of the Edm families in Wayne County are well documented. Everyone knows of the much discussed and now infamous Lt. James Edm of Wayne. Most of the families in that area are descended from him. He had a ton of children. 4) Most important is that I want to keep it fun. I'm only 25, I have all of the time in the world. Happy Hunting!!!___________________________________________________________ Get more from your time online. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com

Hi Calvin, Why did you refer to Lt. James as infamous? Just curious.
