Good Evening, My greatgrandmother was Margaret Marquilla Baker Todd, Maggie. Her husband was CW Todd. I believe they were from Greenwood Springs, MS and Amory. I have a photo of her with her brother Andrew Baker who married Cora Easter. In the same photo is Maggie's sister Minnie Baker Jones. I believe she married a Lem Jones. Another woman in the photo is either CW Todd's sister Bell Todd Riggan or Cora Easter. My mother is Margaret Evelyn Rodgers McCracken, who will be 82 on Wednesday, remembers the picture; I will be taking a copy of it to her so she can positively ID the unknown woman. She knows who married who and has many stories if there is interest. Mother wants to know if anyone knows the whereabouts of a Martha Riggan -- I believe of Amory.

Mary Anna, Thanks - I will check with Sharon and have her email you if she would like a little more information on Thomas J's wife's line. Thomas J's sister, bn 1916, is still living and Sharon has been in touch with her in Virginia. We are hoping she can answer a couple of puzzling Edge questions. :-) Robin -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mary Anna Riggan Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 6:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MSMONROE] Edge, Irvin and Lann Robin, thanks for the Edge information and the offer to share more.

Hi Robin, You and I corresponded some time back and you were kind enough to share some EDGE information with me. Unfortunately I lost it in a move before I could properly record it. My grandmother, Leitha May EDGE EASTER was the daughter of James Madison EDGE and grand-daughter of Hiram C EDGE. I would appreciate any information/pictures you will share with me. You may remember that I have a web site on EASTERs and many other Monroe County families. http://www.easterfamily.net and I would appreciate your permission to add information you share to that web site. I can high definition scan and return any pictures you will share. Thanks, Wayne Easter -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robin Linn Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 10:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MSMONROE] Edge,Todd, Rogers, Baker, Irvin, Lann Hi Carolyn and all, I do have information on Hiram, Thomas and the Bakers. Another of Hiram's descendents is on the list - Ann in Texas - and over the years we have compiled a fair amount, but not as much as we would like :-) I've sent some of it to the Easter website but there is more. Let me add that my line is the Nathan, Jonathan and Minor Edge line - but over the years I have collected and researched all the Edges and allied families in Monroe. Yes, Hiram died in a Confederate Hospital in TN right before Christmas in 1862. His service records show that had been ill for some time - with hospital stays from March to July to December of that year for disease. I speculate that he may have contracted malaria during the time his unit guarded Pennsacola, FL., as it is a disease that can wax and wane. I also speculate that the origins of your family story could have been partially true - in delirium he may have tried to walk home at one point and was found and returned to the hospital. The name of the hospital (Foard) was one used by the Confederacy in several states, but Hiram died in the Foard that was in Chattanooga, TN. There are Confederate hospital records for that hospital in a special collection at the University of Texas in Austin, but they can only be accessed in person so I haven't seen them yet. They might shed more light. I am in New Orleans but I hope to take a trip to Austin at some point. I will be happy to share what information I have - and am delighted to know that you are in SC. The SC Archives are fantastic. We have been doing a lot of research on the Edges in SC in hopes of connecting the MS Edges to one of the SC Edge lines. We have an EDGE DNA project going and have a donor from Hiram's brother's (Thomas) line and a test underway for an Edge donor from one of the SC lines as well as the Itawamba Edges and others. We have been trying to find a male descendent from Hiram's son, John T Edge, from his first marriage to Emmaline Land. They were in the Stuart, OK area in the 1930's. I have some pictures of Hiram's land and house that I took a few years ago on a trip to Monroe. Sadly, the house has been torn down since then. I am happy to share. It was a typical settler's dog-trot cabin which evolved into a two-story home with a full front porch that looked out over his land. Very picturesque - with a sparkling stream behind the house. I don't know how much of this is of interest to the list so please feel free to contact me off-list. However, I can say that after all these years of research - it seems that just about everybody in Monroe has a connection to everybody else :-) Robin -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Carolyn Davis Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 7:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MSMONROE] Edge,Todd, Rogers, Baker, Irvin, Lann Hello Mary Anna and Robin and others, I also have Edge connections. Hiram C. Edge and his wife Sarah Morrow were my GGGgrandparents. Their daughter Margaret Caroline Edge married William Bryant Todd. Their son was Columbus Walter Todd (1875-1912). Todd's wife was Margaret Marquilla (Maggie) Baker. Their daughters were Nellie Lucille Todd (1900 - 1974), my grandmother, and her sister Jessie Laverne Todd. Nellie married Hugh Otto Rogers and they had two daughters, Margaret Evelyn Roger McCracken, my mother who is nearly 82, and her older sister Mary Nell Rogers Crook who died in 1981.She was the wife of Ira Crook and they had one son, Tom Crook of Hatley, MS. Tom and his wife have three sons and one granddaughter. My father was Henry M. McCracken born in Aliceville, AL (Pickens Co.) If yall have any info on any of the above families, I would be glad to share any information that I have with you as well. I have a photo of the grave of Hiram Edge's wife. Also, I discovered that Hiram died in a TN hospital during the War Between the States. The family story was that he died on the way home from The War. He was born in 1815 in SC. I would love to know where. I live in SC. I look forward to corresponding with any other researcher as well. Hope to hear from yall soon.

His service records show that had been ill for some time - with hospital stays from March to July to December of that year for disease. I speculate that he may have contracted malaria during the time his unit guarded Pennsacola, FL., as it is a disease that can wax and wane. I also speculate that the origins of your family story could have been partially true - in delirium he may have tried to walk home at one point and was found and returned to the hospital. The name of the hospital (Foard) was one used by the Confederacy in several states, but Hiram died in the Foard that was in Chattanooga, TN. There are Confederate hospital records for that hospital in a special collection at the University of Texas in Austin, but they can only be accessed in person so I haven't seen them yet. They might shed more light. I am in New Orleans but I hope to take a trip to Austin at some point. I will be happy to share what information I have - and am delighted to know that you are in SC. The SC Archives are fantastic. We have been doing a lot of research on the Edges in SC in hopes of connecting the MS Edges to one of the SC Edge lines. We have an EDGE DNA project going and have a donor from Hiram's brother's (Thomas) line and a test underway for an Edge donor from one of the SC lines as well as the Itawamba Edges and others. We have been trying to find a male descendent from Hiram's son, John T Edge, from his first marriage to Emmaline Land. They were in the Stuart, OK area in the 1930's. I have some pictures of Hiram's land and house that I took a few years ago on a trip to Monroe. Sadly, the house has been torn down since then. I am happy to share. It was a typical settler's dog-trot cabin which evolved into a two-story home with a full front porch that looked out over his land. Very picturesque - with a sparkling stream behind the house. I don't know how much of this is of interest to the list so please feel free to contact me off-list. However, I can say that after all these years of research - it seems that just about everybody in Monroe has a connection to everybody else :-) Robin -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Carolyn Davis Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 7:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MSMONROE] Edge,Todd, Rogers, Baker, Irvin, Lann Hello Mary Anna and Robin and others, I also have Edge connections. Hiram C. Edge and his wife Sarah Morrow were my GGGgrandparents. Their daughter Margaret Caroline Edge married William Bryant Todd. Their son was Columbus Walter Todd (1875-1912). Todd's wife was Margaret Marquilla (Maggie) Baker. Their daughters were Nellie Lucille Todd (1900 - 1974), my grandmother, and her sister Jessie Laverne Todd. Nellie married Hugh Otto Rogers and they had two daughters, Margaret Evelyn Roger McCracken, my mother who is nearly 82, and her older sister Mary Nell Rogers Crook who died in 1981.She was the wife of Ira Crook and they had one son, Tom Crook of Hatley, MS. Tom and his wife have three sons and one granddaughter. My father was Henry M. McCracken born in Aliceville, AL (Pickens Co.)

Hello all, I haven't posted for awhile. For the past 15 years I have been researching the EDGE families who settle in Monroe County in the 1840's. I have some information that may be of interest to anyone researching the Irvin and Lann families. In several of the posted Irvin trees, two of the sons of Anthony Irwin (son of Rigdon) are mentioned without much information on the linage of their wives. This information concerns Anthony's sons, Thomas Jefferson and William Robert Irvin. John Lann was an early settler in Monroe. John and his first wife, (Artesima? McKinny) had at least 5 children. Sarah B., Susan A., Henry J., James S., Thomas I. John Lann's first wife died sometime between the birth of Thomas J in 1844 and John's remarriage in 1849. On 10 December 1849 John Lann married Caroline Edge (bn between 1818-1822 NC, died 19 Feb 1888). Caroline is buried in the Lann cemetery next to John, markers 29A and B. Caroline was probably the sister of Hiram C and Thomas D Edge of Greenwood Springs, or, less likely but possible, the sister of Nathan, Jonathan and Minor Edge who settled near Gaines Trace. Both sets of Edge brothers had land in Monroe by 1849 so she could have been a sister of either set. Caroline and John Lann had three daughters together, two of whom married brothers - the son's of Anthony Irvin. The posted trees all show the linage down from this point, so I won't add that - but this will at least give you the mother of Mary and Martha Lann Irvin. Children of John Lann and Caroline Edge Lann: R E Bell Lann, first child of John and Caroline, was born abt 1850. I don't know whom she married, so if you have that I would be interested. Mary E. Lann born 4 July 1852 died 6 Sept 1927 married William Robert Irvin who was born 1 June 1852 and died on 14 Oct 1901. Martha Ellen Lann was born on 22 Aug 1859 and died 13 Dec 1934. She married Thomas Jefferson Irvin who was born on 28 Oct 1853 and died on 5 April 1938, buried in the Lann Cemetery (38a) Robin

Hello, and thank you for your kind generosity in wanting this letter to get into the correct family's hands!! I do research here in Monroe County and started working on this Black family in late winter, '07. Just this past May, the fellow I had been working for actually came to Monroe from his home in FL. so I could take him around the county to old homeplaces, cemeteries, etc. He will be overjoyed with the knowledge that this letter exists! I will forward your message to him so that he might get in touch with you.

Hello list! I just joined this list for the specific purpose of reuniting a family with a letter from/to their ancestors. I am not researching this family, and I really have no idea how it ended up in a box under my mother's house. I have come across this letter written May 22, 1877 from Robert Black to his nephew J. R. Black. In the 1880 census I found the family living in Smithville, Monroe Co., MS. There is no envelope; however, the letter is very readable. I am typing it here as it has some "newsy" information about births and deaths and neighbors, and perhaps it could help someone in their research. In addition, if anyone knows of someone researching this family who would like me to mail the letter to them, I would be more than happy to send it along. (I think after 130 years, it's time to rest again with family, don't you?) May 22nd, 1877 Mr. J R Black Dear Nephew - I am come to your uncle George's to night and have just read your letters to him and me and we now write you an anser. The connection here I believe are all well at this time. I will state to your mother that there are two more boys in the connection your uncle Walt's daughter Mary and your uncle Topes (?) daughter Milissa can both boast of fine sons a few days old. Your uncle George has wrote about all the news there has been several deaths round about. Ben Gibson died about a month ago. There has been but one or two weddings in this vicinity since you were out here. I was sorry to hear of the death of Cynthia Irvin (Irvin is crossed out) Tickle and Martha Irvin. Tell the old man Tom Irvin that I often think of him and family. They seem almost like kinfolks. Give my best wishes to W. A. & Mary Ritter and Sam & Delilah Bundy and especially to my old beau & every body else. When John S. Sophisan was up here last month he said he was going to answer your letter. Perhaps he has fishing to do makes him slow to write to you or rather perhaps he is being fished after by several calico dresses for he said he had received three or four April fools.

According to Dr. W.A. Evan's work, Robert Paine was buried in Odd Fellows Rest Cemetery, Aberdeen, MS. The transcription of his stone reads: Robt. Paine B: 2 Nov. 1799, Persons Co., N.C. D: 19 Oct. 1882. Hope this is what you're looking for.

Oops...the obituary was published in Jan 1883 - his death would have been the previous Oct - 1882.

Question. Was this Rev. Dr. Robert Paine related to Tom Fite Paine of Aberdeen?? I'm not related to the Paine family, but heard my parents speak of Tom Fite Paine many times. Jim.

>From the Harper's New Monthly Magazine, Vol 66, Issue 392, Harper and Bros., New York. Published January 1883, pg 318. In Aberdeen, Mississippi, October 20, Rev. Dr. Robert Paine, senior bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, aged eighty-three years. There was no year in the obituary, but since this issue was published in 1882, his death date was probably Oct. 1882. He was born about 1799.
