Hello again Lorelle Did I ever tell you how I got your family history? My dad was visiting his cousin in California and gave him a copy of the EFAB. Well someone had given him your family history, he had no use for it, so he sent it back with my dad, so I entered it into my Edmondson data base and made connections through the old EFABs. I was thinking that maybe it was your uncle Mahlon who Sam Edmonson had met.

His father was John Alexander Edmondson. If you need info on this line, I might be able to help you. I tried sending to Nightphyre@aol.com and it said you were not a known member.
