Hello everybody, I have been reading wish interest the struggles to straighten out the too many Benjamin Edmondsons in southeast VA. I tried to sort them out some years back, with about equal success. Nevertheless, I may be able to help at least a little. First, let me make some corrections in something Orvan sent out. This is what he sent: Descendants of Robert Edmondson 1 Robert Edmondson b: July 25, 1788 in Washington County, Virginia d: April 1821 in Lincoln Co. TN, EFAB #17, P.22 descendants to Merkel County Texas?? . +Ann Meek b: Abt. 1790 m: January 06, 1816 in Davidson, Tennessee 2 Milton Alexander Edmondson b: 1818 2 ROBERT E.

ACTUALLY, ONLY ONE BRANCH THAT I KNOW OF WENT TO TX, AND THAT A CATHERINE EDMONDSON WHO M. A MILLIKIN. THE OTHERS PRETTY MUCH STAYED IN LINCOLN CO. AND THEREABOUTS. THE NEXT ROBERT IS OF COURSE THE ELDEST SON OF WILLIAM EDMISTON SR., AND THUS AN UNCLE OF THE ROBERT ABOVE. Descendants of Robert Lt. Jr. Edmondson 1 Robert Lt.

EDMONDSONS, THE FAMILY TO WHICH BENJAMIN BELONGS. I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THE ESSEX CO. PEOPLE WERE ENGLISH, WHEREAS THE EDMISTONS ARE SCOTCH-IRISH. I think I'll send this off and come again on Benjamin. Best, Howard V.

Nancy, your family settled in Benton County? You have probably heard of the Carnahan family from Washington and Benton County. Is your family related to the Edmonsons' in Carroll County? My grandmother, Mary Dee Carnahan Edmonson was a Carnahan with grandparents from the Cane Hill area.
