Cissy, like I said before if Joseph died in 1744 how could Lt. James be his son if he was not born until 1751? I think we are missisng a generation here. I will try to see what else I can find, thanks for the info.

Will made 1743. I have also found a John Edmundson b. 1710 who was married to a Mary Cullen. 2 Children listed in this file, may have been more. James b. 1751 Priscilla Celey b. 1747. It doesn't list John's father. Maybe he was one of the John's in Joseph's will.
