I am the granddaughter of John EDENS, born Dec. 23, 1861, Hancock County. His parents were William (M.?) EDENS (born March 20, 1841, Hancock County, d. April 8, 1926, Oklahoma) and Eliza (b. Dec. 21,1842, d. May 12, 1903, Afton, Oklahoma). William Edens served in the Confederate Army, but I don't have any other information, other than that he was wounded and was not able to return home for a couple of years after the end of the war. At some point before Dec. 11, 1887, John Edens left Tennessee and married my grandmother, Mary Frances (Fanny) Fountain in Barry Co., Missouri on aforementioned date. Frances FOUNTAIN was the daughter of Rutha Jane WESTON and granddaughter of Hannah CRUMLEY. Hannah Crumley (a widow) left Greene County, Tennessee sometime between 1837-1864, with her children in a wagon train for Barry County, Missouri. I have a bit more information on the Westons and the Crumleys. Am very interested in more about the Edens. I have the names of John Edens 6 siblings, but not birthdates. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
