Thanks Sheldon, I am playing catch up here, but I show Kentucky Marriages, 1851-1900 Name: WILLIAM S. Jr. BUMPUS Spouse: ELIZABETH SHARER Marriage Date: 11 Jan 1858 County: Butler State: KY and Elizabeth as William's wife in the 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1900 Jefferson County Census records, so unless William found another Elizabeth who was the same age and married her somewhere along the line, I think Elizabeth SHARER is most likely Edgar's mother.
