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.
