Is anyone of the John A. Edminston family of Jackson? I find 2 of my members as teens living with him as farm laborer's in 1860. In 1870 one member lives near John working as farm laborer; I speculate on John's farm since it grew from $2500 land value to $7K in that 10 years. I'm wondering if their is a relatioship between my Houtzer family and this Edminston family. ===== Ronni Houtzer in MD ><> Are you related to me?
