EDMONDSONS IN EDGECOMBE
Edgecombe County was formed in 1741 and was divided in 1758, the northern section becoming Halifax and the area south of Fishing Creek retaining the name of Edgecombe. This was old St. Mary’s Parish. The western part of the new county became Nash in 1777, including lands lying on tributaries of the Tar River, including Otter (Autry’s) Creek, Bynum’s Mill Swamp Creek, Town Creek, Hart’s Mill Creek, Beech Branch, White Oak Swamp Creek, eastern portion of Fishing Creek, Conetoe Creek, and others. About one sixth of Edgecombe became part of Wilson (after 1833; need date of its formation), lands lying on Cattail Swamp Creek, White Swamp Creek, Toisnant Swamp Creek, Hominy Swamp Creek, Bloomery Swamp Creek, Marsh Swamp Creek and Contentnea Creek. Remaining in present day Edgecombe were lands along the western portion of Fishing Creek, Beaver Dam Creek, Sandy Creek, Swift Creek, Stony Creek, Pig Basket Creek, Sapony Creek, western section of Tar River, Turkey Creek, White Oak Swamp Creek. Most Edmondsons in the bounds of Edgecombe (1758) lived in the area of present day Edgecombe and the section which was cut into Wilson. Ambrose Edmondson of Halifax County bought land in Nash which he sold after he moved to Warren County, Georgia. He lived in Nash in 1790. Most of the Edmondsons lived in Edgecombe. Tarboro is the county seat today.
