For Beth Sloan: Hi cousin! How do you descend from my uncle Thomas Edmondson? I'll be more than happy to exchange data with you. I am descended from William Edmiston Sr. too, via his son William Edmondson. Best, Howard V. Jones P.S. For Nancy Wood: Thanks for the kind words!! -----Original Message----- From: Beth Sloan <eas@coam.net> To: EDMONDSON-L@rootsweb.COM <EDMONDSON-L@rootsweb.COM> Date: Saturday, June 17, 2000 7:37 PM Subject: [EDM] Edmondston of Lincoln Co Tn I am a very, very frustrated descendant of one of the Edmondsons. I have tried in vein to find more than one piece of documentation for my line. The only thing I have found is EARLY EDMONDSONS IN MIDDLE TN. By Howard Vallance Jones and I am not sure how accurate it is or how complete. My line as I know it: WILLIAM EDMONDSON or Edmiston, Sr m. AGNES HOLMES maybe be from Augusta Co. Virgina or Maryland (NO DATES OR FURTHER INFORMATION) Son THOMAS EDMONDSON...born about 1759. Thomas grew up in Washington Co, Va Married MARTHA BUCHANAN , daughter of Robert and Mary Buchanan...This Robert was the son of Samuel and Martha Keys According to the essay by Jones, Thomas and Martha moved to the Nashville area in 1779-80, where they settled about five miles south of the original Fort Nashborough. His brother, ROBERT lived near by. Thomas died about 1824, left a will. Their children were: WILLIAM EDMONDSON (my line) - born March 29 1783. Died Jan. 28, 1822. Maried ELIZABETH BENGE, dau. of Obediah Martin Benge. Moved to Lincoln Co, Tn no date given Their children: MARY H. EDMONDSON b. 1810. m. JOHN F. MCDANIEL Lived in Lincoln Co. My Line Hugh McClung Edmondson b. 1813 no information Obediah Benge Edmondson b. 1815 m. Bethia Colville Martha Elizabeth Edmondson b. 1818 m. William Moffett Sallie McClung Edmondson b. 1821 no further information I don't have the rest of the children of Thomas and Martha and would like them to fill in my gaping database. This is all the information that I have on this line. Can anyone help fill in gaps and dates. Better yet, can anyone tell me where I can find some documentation with what I have? I have tried family search.org but either all the William Edmondsons are from a different line or the information is very different, and since it offers no documentation, I've kept what I found from this essay.
