Herbert & Virgil Edson, brothers, of Jewett, were the sons of John Wesley & Sarah Jane Dymond, of Woodstock. John Wesley's father was Virgil James Edson, he was the son of Lewis & Orilla Mead. Eliza Catherine Edson married Nelson Harder. She was a daughter of Virgil James. William, of Lexington, was also the son of Lewis & Orilla? How do they tie into a Lewis Edson, grandfather of Lewis Waterman, inventor of fountain pen? In 1850 Census Woodstock, there is an Adelide Edson, ae 23, & son Levi Edson ae 3, living with Daniel & Elizabeth Morse. Austin Shultis is their neighbour. Austin Shultis married an Adelia Morris/Morse. In 1860 Woodstock, there is an Edson Morse ae 12 living with Daniel & Elizabeth Morse. 1860 Saugerties (Daisy), Austin Shultis, 39, is with Adelia, 33, and dau Mary, 7. Austin died by 1880, leaving a wife and 2 children. 1880 Census has Adelia with only Mary. Was Austin's wife Adelia first married to an Edson? If so, which one? Could Edson Morse be Levi, name changed or Morse added, "adopted" by grandparents? Agnes Shultis, dau of Austin & Adelia, married Charles Waterbury, son of Judson Waterbury & Mary Cook Newkirk of Saugerties. Judson came to Saugerties about 1850 from Renssalear Co. I cannot find this Agnes Shultis in any records. Maybe Agnes & Mary are the same person? Thanks for any help, Peigi
