Kristina: In addition to John Edmondson of the 7th Company, there was also John Edmunson, Jr., in the 4th company, Stono District, St. Paul's Parish. One or the other of these men might be the John Edmondson listed as a prisoner of war by the British General Provost after the capture of Fort Morris in 1779. Provost's list of prisoners stated John was in the Third South Carolina Battalion. Provost's report was made from Sunbury, Georgia, Jan. 12, 1779.(See GEORGIA CITIZENS AND SOLDIERS IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION).
This is probably the John Edmondson listed as a Revolutionary veteran who made a pension application (Pruitt's list, p. 19, John Edmondson, Survivor No. 32229).
Stub entries to Indents for claims against South Carolina growing out of the Revolution, by A.S. Salley: Vol. L-N, Book M, No. 216. Issued 1 October 1784 to Mr. John Edmudson,late private in Alexanders Troop, Wade Hampton's Regiment, Sumpter's Brigade, State Troops, for 94 pounds sterling being amount pay and bounty due him for services in that troop together with interest thereon from 1 April 1782 to date. He might be the "Mr. Edmonson" listed in the 1790 census of Charleston District, Dorchester County, St. George's Parish, with two white males above 16, 4 white males under 16, 2 white females and 10 slaves, but this is probably another man due to the young children in the household. This man is probably Joseph Edmonson who married Ann Dunning, widow, both of St. George Parish, 18 August 1785, witnessed by John Ward, Elijah Bell and Matha Ward. Joseph Edmunson had witnessed the marriage of David Stevens and Susanna Timmons in 1775. He also witnessed the marriage of Edward Green and Ann Bell in st. George Parish in 1786. This man would likely be a descendant of the Ed-mundsons of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, the "Large Merchant" family. I have some earlier references on these Edmondsons in coastal South Carolina but no evidence yet that any of them moved over to Georgia. I would doubt Celia would have come from them, but this could be possible.
