Hi Wayne, It is nice to meet you. I actually visit your site often. Yes, my Edges are in Monroe. I have also been working with your cousin, Ann Gordon, over the last few years. I am glad to be in touch with you as I do have more information. Additionally, I recently made contact with a descendent of Thomas D Edge, Hiram's brother. The good news is that there are living Edge males who MAY participate in the Edge DNA project. I also have some new Baker and Grubbs research, if there are others on the list interested in those families. In short: Elmira Baker married Thomas Edge, Hiram's brother. Her sister was Charlotte Baker Lambeth. I believe Elizabeth Baker Grubbs Easter was also their sister. Elizabeth married Enoch Grubbs in SC and they had two girls, Regina and Nancy. Enoch died in SC and Elizabeth went to Monroe and married Alson Easter. Her daughter, Regina married Louis Easter. I've found land records for the Baker girl's father, Leonard Baker, and for his father, in SC as well as for Enoch Grubbs. (I've ordered Enoch's probate papers as well as Leonard Baker's.) The best news is that these land records reference some of the same people who are referenced in land records for the Edge men in SC inferring that they may be connected to Hiram and Thomas of Monroe - more research needs to be done, but at least we are probably looking in the right place at the right people. For anyone on the list who has SC roots, be sure to visit the on-line index to early records at the SC State Archives. There are many records for men who ended up in Monroe County - Enoch Grubbs, the Sartors, Mabry Posey, just to name a few. The index will give a small abstract of the information in the document you find - the actual document will have to be ordered from the Archives. http://www.archivesindex.sc.gov/search/default.asp Wayne - please email me off-line and I can send the details of the above.
