Does anyone have information on Shelton Eidson born 1753 in Bedford County died Morgan Co. GA 1-8-1834. We need a document that will prove he had a son named Boyce born in 1789 Bedford County VA or Morgan Co. Georgia no sure. We are trying to prove a DAR application and Shelton did not leave a will. Thanking you in advance Rebecca L. Goff,Regent Knox-Conway Chapter, NSDAR 8404 GA HWY 159 N Ashburn, GA 31714-3904 [email protected]

If you go to the Name Index on the home page (link below) you will find a lot of Eidsons and http://www.imt.net/~gedison/eidson/index.htm there will be: Shelton b.1753 - Bedford County, Virginia Click on his name and Shelton will be at the bottom of the page. You can e-mail George who manages this website (e-mail address on the home page) and ask him about sources. I'm not sure where his information comes from.

Rebecca, sorry I couldn't find anything more on target. The dates and activities below suggest a Boyce Eidson was living in Bedford "doing adult things" as early as 1787. So he can't be the man you're looking for. I didn't see any others so far. From Bedford Co. Will Bk 1, p. 6, Ann Chilton made a brief abstract (in 1988) of the will of Gross Scruggs dated July 12, 1787, and among the witnesses to that will was a BOYCE EIDSON. In Marriage Bonds of Bedford Co. by Dennis & Smith, p. 21, there is the Bedford bond for EDWARD EIDSON and ELIZABETH EIDSON, March 12, 1800. WILLIAM EIDSON,surety. consent of BOYCE EIDSON, father of ELIZABETH. Not knowing the age of the BOYCE EIDSON above, we might wonder if he had a son named Boyce by 1800. >From other sources at home I found some information that sort of suggested a HENRY EIDSON had been the earliest of the name in Bedford from around 1760 Bill Hunt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rebecca Lolley Goff" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 4:31 PM Subject: [VABEDFOR] EIDSON > Does anyone have information on Shelton Eidson born 1753 in Bedford County > died Morgan Co.
