The following table summarizes entries for the "Edmondson" surname in Augusta County records, as rendered by Chalkley. Dates have been truncated to just the year, and names of persons have been standardized by excluding the variant possibilities indicated by Chalkley, but which were not necessarily reflected in the text for each entry. (Chalkley attempted to give variant entries for each surname, but was highly inconsistent.) The data is ordered by given name, and year. See Notebook:Edmondson Family of Rockbridge County Virginia for base data. (Note: Color coding is being inserted to indicate properties in Borden's Grant (palegreen), Red Banks (salmon), and Beverly's Manor (Plum).
