Hi Everyone,

Bear with me coz I am new to all this chat rooming!!!

I am researching my family tree in the UK, Only the direct line on male side.  Got back to  Gt.Gt.Gt.Gt Grandad Edward Redman b.1740 Horsham, West Sussex.  His son also Edward b.1763  married Hannah Brockhurst  b 1795 (they had 4 children one was George B.1800 my  Gt.Gt. Grandfather).  Hannah  died 1802  and Edward  re-married in 1804 a Jane Greenfield  they had 7 children (Josias b.1805, Edward b. 1807, Mary b.1808, David b.1809, Jesse b.1811, Martha b. 1815 and Elisha b.1816).

In 1820 they emigrated to the States with some of the children,  don't know from where or to where.  I am trying to find out where they settled, can anyone out there help me?

Edward and Hannah were Baptists.

Through another site I found an Edward Redman from UK who died in Indiana (Posey?) 1831 may or may not be him.

From George everything is easy  he settled in Arundel, West Sussex where the Redmans have been ever since.  I have in my possession many  documents etc handed down over the years starting with his marriage certificate from 1828.

I have probably gone on too long but wind me up on the family and I could go on for hours.

Look forward to any input especially from the States.

Jane

Jane,

My 4th great grandfather was Edward Redman, who was born in England and who lived in Posey County, Indiana. Our family legend says that his son, Edward was also married to a Mary Moran. I have not found proof of this, however. Edward's son, Josias (known as Jose in the states) purchased land in Posey County in 1820. I have the land certificate.I would love to share information. -Cheri

Mary Moran is not correct.Joseph purchased land 1837 I have copy land registry.

 I have lots of information.  Edward jnr died 1831, snr 1833.

Mail me love to share information.
