Hi List, Is anyone on the list researching Thomas Edmondson b: 1650 in Essex Co., VA. and his first wife Anne Gregory? I know they had a son James b: abt. 1671. Were there any other children? Who were the parents of Thomas? Thanks for any help, Peggy

Dear All EFAB members over the years have researched Thomas Edmondson married to Anne Gregory. The following is the way I have pieced it together from articles in the EFAB with references. I would hope that there are new people out there who also can trace back to this family and add additional information and corrections. Don't use my collection as a proof. I frequently copy errors and make a few myself. Try looking up the references and see if there are sources listed. This family typically started out in Essex County, VA and some descendants are still probably there. From there the family has descendants in North Carolina, the eastern part, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas. As far as the parents of Thomas, they are unknown. WE have only been able to prove a few families from England and Scotland, basically descendants of William Edmundson, the Quaker Preacher, and some that went to Canada from the SW Yorkshire area. The problem is that most of the EDM... families came so long ago, that there are no good records. It would be nice.... Some of the Canadian Edmondson and Edmiston families came in the 1820s, so it isn't too hard because some of the families still had the recorded history.
