On 2/25/08, Joni Edmondson was looking for the parents of Joseph B. Edmondson b. 18 Jul 1813 in TN [d. 1888, Williamson Co., IL]. MS Joni thought Joseph's father might have been William Edmondson b. 11 Aug 1766, in N.C.

I show Joseph's father as William b. 11 Aug 1766 in Onslow Co., NC. SOURCE: Upper N.E. District, Onslow Co., NC, 1786 State Census. NC Early Census Index. <ancestry.com>

Deed Book O (1785-1788)24 and 26- Oct 7, 1786. William and James Edmondson tested to two properties of James Burns Sr. SOURCE: Records of Onslow Co., NC, 1734-1850,
Vol. 1, by Zae Hargett Gwynn, 1961.

CENSUS: 1790; Onslow Co., NC. one male 16 or over, one
male under 16, 3 females.
CENSUS: 1800; Wilmington, Onslow Co., NC. 3 males 10-15,
1 male 16-25, 1 male 26-44, 2 females 10-16,
1 female 16-44, 1 slave.

Son Joseph b. 18 Jul 1813, Maury Co., TN.

CENSUS: 1840; Maury Co., TN. Edmondson, William, age
between 70 and 80, 2 males 15-20, 1 female 10-15,
1 female 60-70.
CENSUS: 1850; District 1, Maury Co., TN, 6 Oct 1850.
Edmondson, William, Farmer, Age 84,NC, living in
the household of his son, Joseph B. [Burns]
Edmondson.

SPOUSE: Frances Burns b. abt. 1775 in Onslow Co., NC.
Married there in 1786. d. Bef.1850, Maury Co., TN.
Her father, Otway Burns, Sr., b. abt. 1745, d.
14 Aug 1797, both in Onslow Co., NC. His son
Otway Jr., was a hero in the War of 1812. Senior's
wife was probably Lisannah [or Lisanus] Spooner,
b. 1751 in Onslow Co., where she died. Senior's
father was Francis Burns b. abt. 1720 in Ayrshire,
Scotland and d. 1792 in Swansboro, Onslow Co., NC.
Francis married Mary Otway b. abt. 1723, Scotland.
She d. in Onslow Co. Her father was Ephraim Otway
b. abt. 1690 in Scotland and d. Bef. Apr. 1744 in
Queens Creek, Swansboro, Onslow Co., NC.

I don't know the father of William Edmondson. From gleaning the research of S. W. Edmondson, a guess would be
that Bryant Edmondson of Onslow County, NC is the father of William. Next in line would be Bryant Sr., and then THE
Thomas. I don't know where to begin with the English connection.
