Edward R. Brydon - New York
I am looking for the parents of both Edward R. Brydon
and his wife Rhoda C. Brydon.According to the 1880 census for Baltimore, Maryland, Edward R. Brydon was born in about 1839-1840 in New York. His father and mother were born in Ireland.Rhoda C. Brydon was born in about 1850 in Virginia. Her father and mother were born in Virginia and
Massachusetts respectively.I believe that Rhoda's maiden name was Ferguson in that a William E. Ferguson was listed as son-in-law of the household Edward R. Brydon in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1880. William E. Ferguson was 35 years old born in Virginia to father who was born in Virginia and to mother who was born in Massachusetts.
Edward R. Brydon and his wife Rhoda C. Brydo had the children as follows:
Edward S. Brydon, age 12, born Maryland
Rhoda J. F. Brydon, age 8, born Maryland
Florence Mary Brydon age 5, born Maryland
Philip C. Brydon age 1, born Maryland.
The little Rhoda Jean Frances Brydom was my grandmother.
Edward R. Brydon had a brother named William A. Brydom.
Both Edward and William migrated to Maryland from New York around 1865-1868. I find a Robert Brydom of Orange County, New York in New York's old newspaper, Gazette, listing him as having died in about 1860. He is listed as a native of Ireland, so he must have been son of Edward and William,
but I cannot substantiate until I have documentation that shows the connection between them. Please contact me at my email address [email protected].
Thanks for your assistance.
