Overview

This article concerns the Robert Edmiston who married Mary Glenn in Washington County, Virginia, in 1792. There are several Robert Edmiston's in the area at this time. These Robert's are sometimes confused for one another, but analysis by Howard V. Jones indicates that the Robert who married Mary Glenn is the son of Col William Edmiston. [Need a brief summary of life history, marriage, children, child dispersion, brief role in state legislature, etc.]

  3. The DOB matches what is on Robert's gravestone; the gravestone, however, is a cenotaph, and represents only what modern family members think the DOB was. Note that Howard Jones notes in regard to an early genealogists data for Roberts DOB that "one version says 28 Aug. 1761, which contradicts Col. William's Bible". That implies that there is a family bible giving the childrens DOB's. It would be very good to have a transcription of this in the Digital Library.
