Dear Carol, There was a Quaker settlement at Richmond, Ind., so Edm's from Ind. and Ohio were drawn to that Meeting house. They are well documented, and even have a John F. Edmondson, but that guy is twenty or so years too young. Several researchers have tried to link me up in Ind/Ohio. I know that one Albert H. Edm was in Cincinnati, then St. Louis, then New Orleans, then to Louisville, Ky, and died in Santa Fe, NM, but was buried back in Richmond, Ind. I have gotten PACKAGES of data on these Edm's, but no connection yet. The obit of Boanerges R. Edm in St. Louis, Mo. in 1866, asked Cincinnati and New Orleans newspapers please copy. Thanks.
