Debbie Freeman --DFree 12:34, 8 December 2009 (EST) [add comment] [edit] User Quolla6 Message [16 December 2009]Hi Dave Welcome to the WeRelate Community. I've made some additions to your comment at: Person_talk:John_Edmiston_(1)#Dave_E_Comments_.5B8_December_2009.5D, mostly related to formating. I've also added a descendancy diagram to help clarify where your line fits in. Some suggestions a) It would be helpful if you were to upload your GedCom, at at least for this line. That way we could more readily see your family history information, and how your line "fits in". b) There's a small email list for folks working on this family on WeRelate. Its a private list, so you won't stumble upon it independently. At the moment, most folks on the list are pursuing other family lines, but subscribing to the list gives you access to its archives, (not extensive, but perhaps of some value). Let me know if you are interested. c) The Edmondson's are one of the families that have been included in "The Tapestry" project on WeRelate. The focus there is on the family lines that moved down the Great Road from Old Chester County in PA, into Old Augusta in VA, and then into Southwest Virginia. The project page for the Tapestry is at The_Tapestry. There is public "Tapestry" mailing list; The Edmonson's come up with some frequency on that list. If interested in it, go to the Tapestry main page, and click the link below the Mailing list icon, to subscribe. One of the things we are trying to encourage is documentation of "facts", using original sources (aka Primary Sources) as much as possible. As you might note from the article on your Robert Edmiston, we are aware that people think he moved to Wilkes County NC. Wilkes is within an informal portion of the Tapestry I refer to as the "Carolina Cradle". Many family lines of the main Tapestry passed through the Cradle. James Edmiston seems to be among their number. ONe of the things we'd like to know about James is "How do we know he's the same person as married Sarah Hays of Old Augusta?" Yes, from his will we know his wife was "Sarah", but how do we know that this particular James and Sarah came to the area from Old Augusta? Could they be a different James and Sarah? What is needed is direct evidence that supports James identification as a son of Robert Edmiston who died in Old Augusta in 1749. Many say that he is, but what is the basis for this statement? Q 08:16, 8 December 2009 (EST) [add comment] [edit] Hays ConnectionDave, previously you wrote: At the time of Max's report they had the same confusion about Sarah, thinking that Sarah Hays, and Sarah Smith Hays were one and the same. Other family members have continued the research, and while still not conclusive, they now believe that is not the case. Referencing data reported in 1990 by George C Hayes, of Knoxville, TN It is believed that George Hays (or Haas) was “Master of Ship, Happy Jane” that arrived on York River in 1698. It is believed that George Hays and Sarah Smith Hays were parents of Patrick and Sarah Hays, Sarah Hays being the wife of James and mother of his children. There is a record for Patrick Hays signing bond for Sarah Hayes and James Edmondson who were executors of George Hays' Deed. I'm not sure if any of this has since been proven.--Dave E 15:13, 10 December 2009 (EST) Not having as yet pursued the Hays family line (on the very long list of "to do's", I probably shouldn't say anything. However, I'd be very surprized if the connection to George Hays "Master of Happy Jane" arriving on the York in 1698 works out to be true. There were very extensive movements of folks into Borden's Grant from the Cumberland Valley in PA. The Hays family using the same given names as found on Borden's Grant were very numerous in the Cumberland. My working assumption is that the Hays family of Borden's grant came to that area from PA, not from tidewater Virginia. However, if a link can be established showing otherwise, that would, of course be very helpful.

[add comment] [edit] Wrong William Edmiston [14 December 2009]Hi Dave, I placed William Edmiston with the correct parents (I had him in my files, although I had a different date of death): William Edmiston. He was too old to have been the son of the James Edmiston that you identified. Best regards, Jim (Delijim)--Delijim 10:20, 14 December 2009 (EST) [add comment] [edit] Sudderth Family [15 December 2009]Dave, before you add another family, let me load my Sudderth gedcom, it is thoroughly researched and has been several decades in the making. The general spelling of this family is either Sudderth, Sudduth or Suddath. Using several conflicting spellings of the same family will inhibit the match process in WeRelate. Regards, Jim--Delijim 17:05, 14 December 2009 (EST) |
