Hello,
I am wondering if you have any proof that would help me change my pending application to the NSSAR to accepted. Do you HAVE ANY INDEPENDENT CORROBORATION OF JOHN COLEMAN BEING ROBERT SPILSBY'S SON OR OF HIS SIBLINGS RELATIONSHIP?
My father is Billy Eldon Edmondson, his father is Julius Augustus Edmondson, his father is William Franklin Edmondson, his father John Coleman Edmondson his father is Robert Spilsby Edmondson and his father is my Revolutionary War Ancestor Richard Coleman Edmondson. I have a NSSAR application pending due to lack of proof John Coleman Edmondson is in fact a son of Robert Spilsby Edmondson.

John Coleman Edmondson was born 26 Dec 1806 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, died 16 October 1855 in Tishomingo, Tishomingo County, Mississippi. First known residence in Tishomingo is 1845, but could have been a few years sooner. On 3 March 1835, he married Mary "Polly' Smith Coleman in Williamson, Tennessee. I have an 1850 census of John and his family.

Robert Spilsby Edmondson was born 1 May 1780 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, died 2 Jun 1864 in Iuka, Tishomingo County, Mississippi. First known residence in Tishomingo County was after 1845. On 29 January 1803 he married Nancy Singleton in Mecklenburg, Virginia. He also served in the War of 1812 as a Captain. He is buried in the Rutledge Salem Cemetery. I can't find Robert in 1850 or 1860 census anywhere, and probably there is no will with John's name since John died in 1855 and Robert in 1864.

I am searching for a "document" to prove John Coleman Edmondson is indeed a son of Robert Spilsby Edmondson, or proof that John Coleman Edmondson is related to his siblings and they are in fact children of Robert Spilsby Edmondson. I have the National Society United States Daughters of 1812, Ancestor Index, Page 165 that states John Coleman Edmondson is a son of Robert Spilsby Edmondson. Dr Stephen W. Edmondson has a ton of proof in Edmondson's in MS and VA, unfortunately NSSAR does not accept the 1812 organization or Dr Edmondson's notes as proof of the Son to Father relationship.

Any thoughts or ideas?
Regards,
Ken Edmondson
