    I have Charley's mother as Elizabeth K, the K could be Katherine. Charley did have 4 brothers and 2 sisters, however I have the intials for the brothers as A.D., T.J. (the T is questionable), J.B., and S.G. (the S being either Saul or Samuel). As for the sisters I have Rosa A (maybe the husband is CC FLEMING and FLEMING is a southwest Virginia name), and Mary is the youngest daughter.

    EDMONDSON, Elizabeth Katherine ALDERSON b. 13 Apr 1843, Washington Co., VA. d. 27 Dec 1927, Clayton, Union, NM; 28 Dec 1927, cemetery inscription; 84 yr 8 mo 14 da; lived most of life in VA; in Clayton, NM for 16 yr. Husband: Samuel Porter EDMONDSON; md. 25 Dec 1862; had 9 children. Parents: George W. ALDERSON, b. Russell Co., VA and Elizabeth PATTERSON, b. Washington Co., VA. Preceded in death by 2 children. Children 9 still living: Andrew Davis, Leesburg, VA; Thomas Jackson and Charles Cole, Clayton, NM; Mrs. R.E. FLEMING, Norman, OK; John Buchanan, Clayton, NM; Samuel Graham, Abington, VA; Mrs. Samuel L. MILLER and Dr. Sidney Mason, Clayton, NM; Henry Hiden, Amarillo, TX. Survived by husband, 7 sons, 2 daughters. Burial: 29 Dec 1927; cemetery inscription; The Clayton News, 29 Dec 1927 and 5 Jan 1928, Clayton, NM; d. cert.

    I only have 7 of the children listed but this clears up who HH was for sure. This also gives me Thomas's name, and Saul/Samuel's name. But the listed survivers are 9 total, so did they have 11 children? I will have to figure that out. I will add Henry to the list and I guess for now I will also add Sidney to the list. I need to find the 1900 index for Elizabeth and see what she says about number of children born and number still living.

  5. ALDERSON, George W, 1860 US Census, Abington, Washington County, Virginia, United States, Abington Post Office Sheet 112 Dwelling 811 Famil
    Series: M653 Roll: 1383 Page: 476.

    The head of household is ALDERSON, George W. 39, male, farmer, born in Virginia.
    Others in the house are;
    Lydia, 36, female, house keeping, born in Virginia
    Catherine, 17, female, Tea Con School, born in Virginia
    Davis, 15, male, born in Virginia
    Andrew, 13, male, born in Virginia
    Ann, 11, female, born in Virginia
    Virginia, 9, female, born in Virginia
    Marian, 6, female, born in Virginia
    Thomas, 10, male, born in Virginia
    Lydia, 11/12, female, born in Virginia

    There is a gap between Davis and Andrew that would be consistent with 2 infants dying. The boy George is not listed on this Census.
