   Andrew “Brody” Edmondson
   Birth 25 Dec 1794
   Death 18 Jul 1852 (aged 57)
   Burial Rock Spring Cemetery
   Glade Spring, Washington County, Virginia, USA
   
   "High On A Windy Hill", p. 206 reported that Andrew's stone read: Andrew Edmondson, d. 18 Jul 1852, age 58y 5m 24d. Calculating Andrew's date of birth based on the above data yields 24 Jan 1794. However a 2011 reading of the stone reveals that the inscription included the actual date of birth: Dec. 25, 1794.
