Re: Eli Edmondson

Hello -
I had two great aunts (also Edmondsons)
born circa 1900 that both joined the DAR
in the mid 40's.In order to establish their
eligibility to join they did a slow, manual
painstaking geneological search, taking
up to 2 years, to qualify themselves.They
used a geneologist in Virginia.I have, or
at least had, copies of documents that
were transcfibed from original court records
in different cities on Virginia.Included
in those documents was mention of an
Edmond Edmondson who apparently
"owned" the town of South Halifax, VA.
These documents were dated 1845.I'm
making an attempt to find out which one
of my relatives borrowed these documents
from me and has failed to return them.Its
quite a cache!Also, I've talked to other
Edmondsons down this was (I'm in New
Orleans} and they seem to have migrated
from Virginia to Tennessee... some stayed in Tennessee & some (my relatives)
migrated to Texas in the 1850's or 60's,
helping to settle the area of Dallas Texas
along with the Prather family.
Hope I've been of some help to you -should I find my data, I'll get back to you.
Please let me know about your Edmond
Edmondson.

Thanks,
