I am searching for information on an Edmonds family from Fauquier County VA that may have moved to a neighboring Virginia county around 1820. Maybe Loudoun. William Edmonds (b 1763- ) was a son of John Edmonds (1737-1798) Will Records in Fauquier County confirm this. Deed records in Fauquier show William sold his farm that he inherited from his father John to Hezekiah Shaklett in 1819 but William is not found in Fauquier records after that date so far as I can determine. This William lived in the Upperville / Paris area. Deed records indicate his wife was named Sally (more formally Sarah perhaps), but I have found no marriage record. Based on information I have found but certainly not 100% sure, I believe he had a least one son William "Billy" and perhaps thee daughters; Elizabeth (married Francis Rollow) and Jane (married Wesley Brown) and perhaps a daughter Octavia that is found in the household of Elias Edmonds in the 1850 Fauquier County census. 1810 and 1820 census records for William Edmonds of John tend to support this household group. I have researched record collections held at the College of William and Mary, Univ of VA and VA Historical Society that include letters from associated family members from the period 1839 thru the 1850s. William "Billy" and Octavia (referenced above) were definitely related to the Fauquier Edmonds from references in these family letters, it is just unclear specifically how. I have found no records yet which proves up the exact connection. I believe they are offspring of William the "son of John Edmonds" primarily because the other Edmonds lines are very well documented in one form or another and these individuals are not to be found. William "Billy" moved to Missouri at approximately the same time that several others who would be his cousins made the similar move to Missouri (1830s). These cousins would include Geo Steptoe Edmonds, John Fleetwood Edmonds, Gilbert H Edmonds, James Henry Edmonds and Octavia Chilton. I suspect the connection was lost at that point. I am posting to neighboring counties in hopes there may be something or some connection to be found.
