Researching William Henry Harrision Edmonds born 1812 in Posey County, IN maybe part of Knox County at that time. James Edmonds

James, I am so excited to talk to you! I have been curious to find out where the Edmonds family came from before settling in Posey Co. William H. H. Edmonds was good friends with my Phillips family. In fact I have a copy of a letter he wrote to Benjamin Phillips in Texas in 1874 written from Henderson KY. Wm and Samuel Edmonds entered land in Posey Co, IN 1837. In the letter William says his daughters live in New Harmony and he has 6 grandchildren there. He mentions dtr Sallie. He has not heard from the one (dtr?) that lives in Sanduskey Ohio nor his two sons who live in MO or his oldest son who lives in Henderson (I think this is KY) who is a carpenter and a widow whose wife died the 3 of June 1873. The oldest son expects to marry a lady who lives in Evansville, IN and is a niece of Benona Stinson, a Preacher. He also mentions that his son-in-law is the editor and C.W. Sharpe is publisher (at a newspaper?) in IN where he is going to send Ben Phillips' letter to be published. I'm sure this is some help you. It is especially helpful to me to know William was born in 1812 and in Posey Co about the same time my Phillips settled there. I am wondering if they came to Posey Co together. I would be happy to exchange info.
