Hi! Everyone! While this is not my family, I've done a lot of research on it since my family appears in Brown County, OH and at least one researcher 30 years ago thought that perhaps John EDMISTEN may have had another marriage to Mary "Polly" REED [since proved not to be the case]. One learns that much research needs to be done to eliminate possibilities also. My petition to subscribe [again] to EFAB finally caught up with me in Ohio, with it's accompanying sample vol. XXIX #3, Apr thru June 1997. In it is a query fromBetty J. FISHER of Santa Barbara, CA. I am sending her a separate reply via USPS mail, but thought others might wonder about this family also. The late Lennard EDMISTEN of Orange, CA, a long-time subscriber to EFAB...and I carried on a ten year correspondence trying to reconcile his John EDMISTEN and mine...with no success. He was inpossession of his grandcestor's original will [ blue paper with watermark Kent Mills]. I will outline John EDMISTEN and Julia's descendants here...but for those interested, I can supply more details, including land transfers and other information. John EDMISTEN born 4 Jul 1806 in Adams County, OHIO, died 3 Nov 1853 Cedar Mills, Adams County, OH orphaned at about age ten and bound out to a CARLISLE family [not known if this is the family name, or from the nearby neighborhood of Carlisle]. John married in February, 1831 to Julia Ann McCOY born 1 Jul 1810 in PA died 30 Dec 1897 Lenora, Norton County, Kansas [father unknown; mother was Margaret, possibly ANSLEY and/or MOZIER]. Step-father was John CALLOWAY.
