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.

Yes, I agree about maternal lines - Caroline seemed to be just "out there" and left out of all the families so it will be nice to have her included. Yes, I have been at this too long :-) I think your Thomas J Edge is the son of Wood Arthur Edge, the son of Thomas Leonard Edge, son of Thomas D. Edge....who settled at Greenwood Springs with his brother Hiram Edge in the 1840's. (Thomas James Edge Born 28 Aug 1910, Poteau, OK, Died, Sept 13, 1988, probably Amory, MS.) Thomas D Edge's son, Thomas Leonard left Monroe in the 1890's. Thomas Leonard married Rosa M. Wood in Monroe before they left. One of their sons, Wood Arthur, returned to Monroe - he shows in the 1930 census. Wood had a son, Thomas J Edge and three daughters. One daughter married a Parham. I am in touch with a descendent of Thomas D Edge who lives in TX. I know she will be delighted to hear about the connection. Please let me know if you are interested in more information on the line. Robin >Robin, thanks for sharing that information! We sometimes forget the >maternal lineage is also important. My husband is an Irvin descendant (Thomas, son of Rigdon). I encountered the Edge family while working on my husband's Cummings line. Earnest F. and Trudie Addington Cummings had a daughter, Inez, born 7 May 1916. She married Thomas J. Edge. They both died here in Monroe Co. in 1988. I never knew anything about Mr. Edge's family. Do you recognize his name as being in your family?
