Good Morning: Below is the URL for the Hill County blog of Terry Thornton of Monroe County, MS. He has very kindly posted an excerpt from my notes on Hiram C. Edge about his Civil War service. Please take a look if you have time. As DNA has shown that although my group of Monroe County Edges (Minor, Nathan and Jonathan) shared an ancestor with the Hiram and Thomas Edge group - it was too far in the past to be of any genealogical help. So, I am wrapping up my research on Hiram and Thomas' line - well, okay, I'll never be able to quit completely. I am sending all my notes and copies of documents, deeds, plat maps, and photographs concerning the Hiram C. Edge, Thomas D. Edge and Elmira Baker Edge families to the Evan's Memorial Library in Aberdeen MS. They will be available to researchers on-site as well as by mail as I am sending a CD with the documents and images. The library should be able to print out documents and possibly attach photo files to emails. Further below is the contents page. You are welcome to use my photographs and notes with citation. There are some items in the binder and on the CD that are under copyright to other people so they only for personal use. It will be mailed today - so give them about a week.
