    Suzanne Kennedy clarifies names of the children with information from family sources.

    -----------------
    Elijah Edmonds married Nancy Magnolia Mitchell.  They are the family listed on the census you reference with Elijah living next door to Thomas Edmonds.
    My grandmother gave me all the names birth dates of her uncles and aunt. I pulled all the information from obituaries, and have copies of a lot of headstones for this generation.
    The correct listing of their names is as follows:

    William "Billy" Calvin - 21 Nov 1888
    Oscar Sheldon - 3 Oct 1891
    Rev. Timbert Shroud "TS" 4 May 1892
    Manervia - 13 Apr 1895
    Thomas Tony ( my Great Grandfather )  11 Dec 1896
    Joe W. "Dewey - 1 Apr 1897
    Gurley Roosevelt - 12 Jul 1900
    Willard Emery 22 Dec 1902
    Hicks A - 15 Feb 1905
    ***Odell Alonzo Edmonds 10 May 1919.  Was actually the son of Lizze Webb and her first husband who was an Edwards. Odell took the name Edmonds and his decendants are still Edmonds. **

    Elijah married Lizzie Webb after the death of "Maggie" in 1922.  They had the following children.
    Harding - 23 May 1923
    Merdia ( son ) Coledge - 14 Jun 1927

    Lizzie Webb had two daughters from her first marriage,
    Pansy Edwards Johnson and Laura Edwards ( unsure if she married.)
