First, let me get you there. Start with Edmund "silverhead". His son Richard (b.1718 Maryland, d.1791 Sussex, Delaware) had MANY (15!) children. Among them are Edmund (#14) born ABT 1747 in Delaware. Edmund married Patience Prettyman and had ten children, the last 5 of which were born in Georgia.It appears they made the move to GA around1775. Edmund died in GA 1835. Let me give you the children's names & it will at least give you a point of departure for searches. Edmund b.ABT1768 Sussex, DE Henry Harrison b. ABT 1769 in DE Richard Prettyman b. ABT 1770 in VA **He's my ggggrandfather. William b.ABT 1772 in DE James P. ABT 1775 in Fayette, GA Rice Prettyman b.1784 in GA Patience ABT 1788 Elijah R. 27 APR,1790, Greene Co.
