That's the right ones only the first five belong to the James Eddings from a first marriage to Parthenia Brown, The "T" in Octavia's name stands for Tennessee. Elizabeth had 4 sons from her marriage to Thomas Hawkins Harris,I have have info on them the fourth one Sam being my G-father.Martha J. married George Gibbs and they are both buried at Beechland at Logan Co., Harriet Anna married a Robinson (all I know) both of the girls were alive when Sam died in 1947,they were listed as survivors in his obit. Benjamin evidently ended up in Rutherford Co. Tenn. probably on a county work farm,that's about all I can find on him right now, are you connected to this family because I need some help.Debbi Harris Loney Ernest Howell wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ernest Howell" <Eehowell@adelphia.net> > To: <TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2001 1:50 PM > Subject: Re: [ROOTWALKER] FILSON and EDEN > > > I have the following information on a Benjamin Eddinngs born in Logan Co., > > KY in 1876.
