Orv, I was unable to contact Paul for "last minute information", but do hope we will be able to receive (purchase) the information on the tours (homes, churches etc), that Paul is conducting. I would like to have attended since I descend from Matthew. However, I have had the pleasure of attending another reunion (the Teaford's) in Lexington a few years ago. Two son's of George McNeel Edmiston, Abram (my g.grandfather) and Andrew, married Jennie (g.g.) and Julia Teaford). I have several documents on Matthews family through the McNeels as I told you, and will be making a copy for you to share with the others. This includes the McNeel Cemetery where Matthew's grandson, Andrew and his wife, are buried and also George McNeel Edmiston's wife, Nancy Jordon. It also includes information on David, "heir to James". I have found an Agnes Thompson Edmundson in the court documents of Augusta Co. (Chalkley's) Vol. 3, PP 209, July 4th 1774 as a daughter of William Thompson of Tinkling Springs. Does anyone know who she married and when? Hope those who could make the Reunion have a wonderful time!!
