Silas Charles has been a real puzzle and I would be happy to assign parents to him. Is there any proof that he was the son of a Charles & gch of Wm.? I can add a few facts about this family. A Silas Edmonds m. Nancy Bagby on 22 Nov. 1821 in Wmson Co, TN (EFAB #84:78). He m. 1 Sept. 1839 Temperance C. Pomroy in Wmson Co. He m. Sally A. Mullin(s?) 1 Oct. 1848. M.2. produced Westley F., Elizabeth A., & Wm. Coleman. I came across an item in the series of books on Wiregrass GA, that contains information that may be relevant and is surely colorful. Is it possible that Temperance was a Meeks, who m1.either a Wesley or Wm. D. Cole and then a Pomroy? Vol. VII, pp 18/19: Wesley Cole & his brother, Wm. D. Cole did not marry sisters, as stated. They were mother & daughter, Elizabeth Meeks was b. to Temperance Meeks and her father was a Mr. Haliday (Holiday) a dancing master of Emanuel Co. (See "Cole Family Folder" at the Huxford Genealogical Library in Homerville for further information.) On 24 Dec. 1838, John Pomroy m. Nancy V. Mullins in Wmson Co, TN. Bondsman: Silas Edmondson. On 10 Nov. 1841, Frances Edmondson m. Josiah Mullin. Silas was living with Wm. Coleman in the 1860 Logan Co, KY census. According to Albert Edmondson, Wm. Coleman's grandson, Silas went back to GA & was buried in Butler. Albert also said that according to family lore, Silas was a Wash. Co. stonemason. Silas was said to have had a Bud & a John Edmondson, presumably by his last m. The 11 May 1856 Putnam Co, GA will of Wm. Dennis (WBk B:292/3) was witnessed by Zachariah & Silas Edmondson. This Zachariah was surely the son of Ths. & Patience Spires Edmondson of Columbia Co, GA. How does Silas fit in with them? So far as I know, Ths.'s father has not been determined. (I have never seen another Silas or Zachariah EDM.) Nancy Edmondson Wood
