    3. Col. Brown's Regiment (Pickens Co.) Ages: -10, 10/16, 16/25, 25/45, 45+. Columns are: free white males & females, #16. Wm. Edminson 31110-00010 #17. John Edmondson 00010-00100 #18. Thomas Edmondson 00001-00001 (also had 5 slaves) #19. James Edmondson 00101-00101 #18. Ths. Edmondson is the "retired" innkeeper from Winchester, Frederick Co, VA. He was the son of John EDM & Susannah Norman & the gch of James & Judith Allamon Parr EDM, & g-gch of Ths/Essex. John EDM's sons were Philip Parr, Ths, Judith, James & Wm. The latter m. Leah, but had no ch. He left a will naming Leah & leaving property to his siblings. The distribution identifies the brother Ths. as being the one in Fred. Co. & James is m. to Priscilla (Mooring). #18. Ths EDM left a number of deed/will combinations, that named his sons. The son, John, isn't mentioned after about 1805, if memory serves me right. This has lead some researchers to conclude that he was the John, who d. in Staunton, VA, after purchasing property from a Wm EDM. I'm not so sure, since the #17. John could also be his son. I would imagine that #16 Wm. is the son, who settled early in SC on the Broad River & was a JP in 1806. #18. Ths EDM also had a Benj., who appears to be around long enough to sell property inherited from his father. I think he may have gone to GA aft. 1813. #18. Ths's son, George, was also an early JP & settled on George's Crk. There was a James EDM on the 1787 pers. prop. tax list of Fred. Co., along with Ths. (#18) & Mary EDM, widow of Ths's son, Ths. II (no hrs.) I don't know if this was #19. James & if he was a son of #18., but it seems probable. James may have had a son/dau & their spouse living with him in 1800, or he may have had 2 older ch. Can anyone enlighten us further on these individuals? Nancy Edmondson Wood
