James Edmondson, Senr was named to the first Grand Jury in Forsyth County, GA in 1833. Another James appears to have served on the first petit jury that year. The State Census of Georgia in 1834 showed two James Edmansons. One had 3 whites and the other had 5 whites in the household. Samuel Edmondson is shown with 8 whites. James Edmondson appears to have remained in Forsyth County as the 1840 census shows James Edmondson, a male 30-40 with one male child under 5 and one female 20-30, apparently his wife, Hannah Carr. He appears to be engaged in mining. The State Census of Georgia in 1845 shows James Edminson, Sr. and James Edmenson, Jr. James Sr. had 3 free whites and 1 white female 6-16. He is shown in the 1850 federal census of Forsyth as James Edmondson, 79, b. in Virginia, with Jane, 31, and Frances E., 17. Jane was born in S.C. and Frances in Georgia. It appears James had moved to S.C. where he married first, Jane being of his first marriage. Frances would appear to be of his marriage to Hannah. James Jr had 3 free whites and 1 white male 6-16 in the 1845 Georgia Census. James D. Edmondson, 24, is in the 1850 federal census of Forsyth, probably not the James Edmenson Jr. in the 1845 Georgia Census. He married Mary Pendley and was son of Samuel Edmondson (b. 1790) who married Martha Carr (b. 1800). Another James Edmondson appears to have lived in nearby Gwinnett County where his land was levied on May 5, 1831, to satisfy a legal execution. Unclaimed letters were waiting for James at Lawrenceville Post Office, Jan. 1, 1831. He is listed in the 1830 federal census of Gwinnett, the name spelled Edmundson: one male 50-60, one female 50-60, one male 10-15, one female 5-10, two females 15-20. This might be the James Edmondson who appeared in Alabama about the same time. The federal Census of 1850 shows no Edmondsons in Gwinnett. Could you provide any information you have on the man in Alabama?
