Bob, I am a descendant of Col. William Edmiston and Margaret Montgomery through their daughter Esther Edmiston who married Robert Campbell Kennedy, possibly a brother of Elizabeth Kennedy, Col. William's second wife. I visited Virginia a few weeks ago, and I, too, was visiting places where my ancestors lived and died. From the information I have, Col. William was born in Cecil County, MD, but one researcher said that that county bordered Virginia and some times was considered in Virginia and sometimes in Maryland. He lived for some time in Augusta County, Virginia, near Staunton, which I visited. He died near Glade Springs in Washington County, VA or Seven Mile Forge which is located in the next county. Seven Mile Forge is where Col. William's relative and his commanding officer at the Battle of King's Mountain, Col. William Campbell lived. I did not find much to see at Glade Springs, but there is a highway marker at Seven Mile Forge concerning William Campbell. The country is very pretty around Augusta County and Washington County. I hope this helps a bit.
