I am looking for information about COL William Edmiston, who married Elizabeth Kennedy and Margaret Montgomery. I am particularly interested in details about where he lived and died. I believe he was born in Cecil Co, MD and died in Washington Co, VA. My wife and I are interested in visiting the places where he lived if we can get some specific information about them. Thank you, Bob Patterson BobPat@aol.com St. Louis, MO
Bob: The exact location of where Col. William lived as a child is not know. He was born in Cecil Co., but the territory was disputed between Maryland and Pennsylvania. Some of the probable relatives of the Colonel lived in E. Nottingham township in Chester Co. PA, which is on the state line. The family moved to Augusta Co. VA when the Colonel was a child. They lived in what is now Rockbridge Co. They moved on to the Glade Spring VA. area in the 1770's. Nearby, in Emory, VA, look up Dr. Ashcroft. He took the original cabin of Col. William, moved it to his back yard, and reconstructed it. When you see it, ask yourself how that family ever fit into it -- 14 children after all. Bob, how do you descend from the colonel? Howard V.
