In July 2011, Shirley and I had been in contact working together on Edmonds questions. Shirley did some intensive onsite investigations in various record offices. She could find no record of the name Cameron, but only Cam. There was some association with the name Campbell, which has a local variant of Camel, so we determined that was the middle name. The 1870 Jefferson County, Tennessee, census reports her name as Edia, aka: "Edy." The spelling Edy seems to represent what we now spell Edie. This is supported by the entry in 1880, Eadie and definitely confirmed in 1900, Edie. 1870 Census Jefferson County, Tennessee, 23 July, District 3, PO Trion, p 7, Hse/Fam #43 Strange, William 28 M W Farmer TN [b abt 1842] Strange, Edia 24 F W Kpg Hse TN Strange, Delila 6 F W TN Strange, Martha S 6 F W TN Strange, John H 4 M W TN Strange, Julia A 3 M W TN Strange, William 4mo M W TN Birthday given as January (1870) 1880 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 16 June, Civil District 5, Enumeration District 177, page 32, Hse #263, Fam #267 Strange, William W M 44 Farmer TN TN TN Strange, Eadie W F 34 Wife Keeping House Cannot read or write TN TN TN Strange, Martha S W F 16 Dau At Home Cannot write TN TN TN Strange, John H W M 15 Son Farm Hand Cannot write TN TN TN Strange, Julia S W F 12 Dau TN TN TN Strange, William M W M 9 Son TN TN TN Strange, Frederick I W M 7 Son TN TN TN Strange, Joseph W M 5 Son TN TN TN Strange, Laura J W F 3 Dau TN TN TN Strange, James W M 1 Son TN TN TN No child matching Delia appears here.

Various family genealogies report her death in Jefferson County, Tennessee, where she lived her whole life, on the date of 18 September 1925. Another Strange researcher pointed me to Edith's Death Certificate, which I had not previously found online. It has now been transcribed by FamilySearch, but the image does not yet appear on the site, where I have found many public documents posted in the last year. The date on the death certificate is 13 September 1925. Burial is reported as 15 September 1925. The certificate also confirms other details about her family that are only partial from the various sources.

Shirley, whose comments I quote above, comments on that too, and says the real Maiden name is Hall. Perhaps there was a previous marriage. According to some family sources, Edie is buried in Strange Cemetery on Muddy Hollow Road, off of Rainwater School Road in South Jefferson County, Tennessee.

Some genealogies list Elijah's wife's name as Nancy Magnolia, based on names in censuses, apparently. But Nancy Mitchell's family is enumerated in Madison in 1880, and she is named Nancy M, matching the two names later found for the wife of the Spartanburg couple. "I have been reading some written work on one of your pages and wanted to let you know about Elijah L.Edmonds. He came to Fingerville, SC in Spartanburg County because the textile mill went to NC and recuited with offers of housing and jobs. My grandfather, Willard Emery Edmonds, was his son. In fact Willard played textile baseball for the mill." -- Jennie Leake, email message to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 23 Apr 2012 The 1910 census records Elijah's presence in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. The details of this Elijah are very close to those known from other sources for the son of Cam Edmonds and Katherine White. We find in the list of children Jennie Leake's grandfather Willard. The children William and Oscar match closely. George is close, with a 2-year age difference, within the range we commonly find between censuses. Thomas T of 1910 matches Andrew of 1900 in age, but not name. Dewey J reported in 1910 should have been reported as about 1 years old in 1900, the best match being to Andrew, age 2 in 1900. So that is uncertain. At least one genealogy names one child as Andrew "Dewey." Both husband and wife of the Spartanburg family match our Madison County couple very closely. The wife is enumerated as Magnolia. Interestingly, too, Elijah is here reported as born in Tennessee, matching the 1870 and 1880 censuses in Tennessee and North Carolina. In the 1900 census in North Carolina, he was reported as born in North Carolina. 1910 Federal Census, Spartanburg County, South Carolina, 22 April, Campobello Township, District 73, page 9B, Hse #159, Fam #161 Edmonds, E L Head M W 44 Married 23 yrs TN TN TN Farmer Rents [b abt 1866] Edmonds, Magnolia Wife F W 45 Married 23 yrs 4 10 children/10 living TN TN TN Edmonds, William M Son M W 20 Single NC TN TN Farm Laborer Edmonds, Oscar I Son M W 18 Single NC TN TN Farm Laborer Edmonds, Timbert I Son M W 16 Single NC TN TN Farm Laborer Edmonds, George W Son M W 14 Single NC TN TN Farm Laborer Edmonds, Minerva M Dau F W 13 Single NC TN TN Edmonds, Thomas T Son M W 12 Single NC TN TN Farm Laborer Edmonds, Dewey J Son M W 11 Single NC TN TN Farm Laborer Edmonds, Gurley R Son M W 8 Single NC TN TN Farm Laborer Edmonds, Willard E Son M W 6 Single NC TN TN Farm Laborer Edmonds, Heaps A Son M W 5 Single NC TN TN Farm Laborer 1910 and 1920 children match for Elijah and Maggie (Magnolia) in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. 1920 Federal Census, Spartanburg County, Arkansas, 20 January, Campobello Township, District 82, page 11B, Hse/Fam #138 Edmonds, Elige Head Rents M W 55 NC NC NC Farmer [b abt 1864] Edmonds, Maggie Wife F W 55 NC NC NC [b abt 1864] Edmonds, William Son M W 32 NC NC NC [b abt 1887] Edmonds, Dewey Son M W 21 NC NC NC [b abt 1898] Edmonds, Williard Son M W 17 NC NC NC [b abt 1902] Edmonds, Hick Son M W 15 NC NC NC [b abt 1904] Suzanne Kennedy clarifies names of the children with information from family sources. ----------------- Elijah Edmonds married Nancy Magnolia Mitchell.

This is interesting, since the names do not match known parents, but Polly White was Elijah's mother's mother, and his first son is reported as named Calvin. These could have been errors by the informant, T S Edmonds. This Elijah was born in Newport, Tennessee, which matches our Edmonds line. This Elijah's wife was Mrs Lizzie Webb Edmonds, which could have been a second wife after Nancy Magnolia died. I have not found Nancy's death information.

In 1880, she is 29, which makes her birth year 1851, 3 years younger than indicated by the 1860 census. The 1860 figure is likely more accurate, being closer to her birth. Fannie's mother died before 1860, when her father has remarried. But in the 1900 census, her birth date is June 1856. 1910 reports her 54, so born in 1856. The idea of her age shifted and then settled on a birth abt 1856. the problem with this is that it is hard to believe her father in 1860 would confuse an 8-year old child with a 12-year-old. 1880 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 14 June, Civil District 2, Enumeration District not given, page 16, Hse/Fam #141 Chambers, H W M 26 Farmer TN TN TN [b abt 1854] Chambers, F W F 40 Wife Keeping House TN TN TN [b abt 1851] Chambers, Wm H W M 8 Son TN TN TN Chambers, M M W F 4 Dau TN TN TN Chambers, M L C W F 6mos born Jan 1880 Dau TN TN TN Chambers, Thomas W M 3 Son TN TN TN This census reported the birth month of any child less than a year old.

On his daughter Fannie's death certificate, James C is referred to as Cam. Many have assumed this nickname referred to Cameron. Most genealogies have the name as Cameron, some only the nickname commonly in records, Cam. But it could be short for Campbell. This is what Edmonds researcher Shirley has determined from her investigations. Shirley has looked through records and archives and never find any instance of Cameron, only Cam. But I have also found there is some association with Campbell. And I have found records for a Campbell familiy as Camel. “Camel†is a regional/dialectic pronunciation, a phonetic variation, for “Campbell.†Adam Campbell in this genealogy is documented in records as Adam Camel, and all his children with the last name Camel. The Cam middle name for James likely stood for Campbell. "My 4th great grandpa is David Edmonds birth Mar 22,1826, son of John & Penelopy Edmonds, brother to James (Cam), John, George, Louisa, Polly, Elmore & Shadrach. I'm not sure of David's exactly birth location, but he lived most of his life around Piney, Loudon, Roane [County], Tennessee.

Delilah (or Delia) Hall was the mother of daughters Edie and Fannie E. There is a third child reported by some researchers, John P, born in August 1850, who would be 10 years old at census time in 1860. But he is in the household of Delilah's supposed sister Annie. It seems likely that Delilah died in childbirth with John, and his sister began raising him. Three months later Cam married Katherine (Catherine) White, as reported in the marriage record above. 1870 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 21 July, p 2, PO Dandridge, Hse/Fam #13 Edmonds, James C 49 M W Farm Laborer $No Real Estate $No Personal Estate b Tennessee Cannot read or write [b abt 1821] Edmonds, Catharine 28 F W Keeping House b Kentucky Cannot read or write [born abt 1842] Edmonds, William 9 M W b Tennessee [b abt 1861] Edmonds, Elijah R 5 M W b Tennessee [b abt 1865] Edmonds, Martha M 2 F W b Tennessee [b abt 1868] I have found most genealogies report James died in Jefferson County, Tennessee. But his last two children are reported born in NC and his widow is in NC in 1880. Their last child was born in 1867. There is some uncertainty, though, because of discrepancies in the birth states reported for the older children. William and Marcena (Martha) are reported born in North Carolina, while Elijah, born between them, is reported born in Tennessee! In the 1870 census, all three children were reported born in Tennessee. And all other records of residence, including 1860-70 census, indicate they were living in Jefferson. If the last two children really were born in North Carolina, this would seem to indicate that James moved the whole family there about 1875 and died there.

There are different dates reported on different sources. Much information on genealogies is wrong, and much undocumented. Edmonds researcher Shirley suggests the actual birth date in August 1850, interpolated from various sources. (See note below.) John's wife Mary Reneau is reported by some genealogies to also be buried in Hills Union Cemetry, but I cannot find a listing for her. There is one Mary Edmonds, with no maiden name identified, but there are not dates on the stone, and this does not seem likely to be the right one. Her date of death in the undocumented genealogies in 1908, 9 years before John. There is a discrepancy in the reported date of death on John's death certificate and the gravestone. As noted in the transcriptions above, the Death Certificate reports death on 15 February 1919, while the gravestone says 15 March 1919. Family researcher Shirley, who has collaborated with me on research on the Edmonds lineage, has made these comments about John's details. As she notes, I have found confusion in genealogies of Mary Reneau Edmonds with Mary Ann Patterson Reneau "His death certificate shows February 15, 1919, not March. His father is James Campbell (NOT Cameron) Edmonds and mother appears to be Delila Hall. Father is also seen as Camel in Jefferson court documents. 'Cam' is the father's name shown on DC as it is with his 2 sisters, Edith (m: Wm Henry Strange) and Fanny (not Falby--m: Henry Chambers). John's wife is Mary Ann Reneau (not Mary E.). She is dau of Isaac Reneau and Melissa Newman. The children listed for John and Mary Ann on old LDS IGI files and many trees actually belong to Aaron Leander Reneau and Mary Ann Patterson. Few trees have them correct. His birth is probably Aug 1850 based on all his censuses and a Southern Claims Commission affidavit on behalf of his uncle-by-marriage, Christopher Miller." -- Shirley, Comment on Find a Grave, 25 May 2012, http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=fls&FLid=52325778&FLgrid=7313223
