This is what I have on Fleming County, Kentucky:
FLEMING COUNTY, KENTUCKY
Thomas Edmonson and hands were ordered with others to keep the roads open to a width of 40 feet to the Lewis County line.
August 1810. Fleming County Order Book C mentioned road repair work done by James and Thomas Edmonson.
Nov. 27, 1812. The deposition of James Edmonson was taken in Fleming County in the case of Benjamin Mosby vs. James Allen. This was presented in May Court, 1814, Augusta County, Virginia. (Chalkley, Vol. I, p. 426). Edmonson had migrated to Kentucky in the fall of 1809, from Augusta County, Virginia, the trip taking from Oct. 5 to Oct 30. He was shown as Captain James Edmonson. (Could this be the son of Thomas Edmundson of Frederick County, Virginia? Thomas who died in Pendleton District, SC, in 1809. A son James moved from Winchester to Staunton, Augusta County, in the 1790’s. What happened to Captain James Edmonson after 1809? Is he the man who settled in middle Tennessee and owned hotels there at Columbia and in Nashville?)
Thomas Edmundson married Barbara Strode in Warren County in 1815. James Strode came to Kentucky in 1780 with Col. Thomas Jones, Col. Fleming and his half brother George Stockton, and William McClary, all related to James Strode. This group migrated from New Jersey to Pennsylvania to Kentucky. Strodes Station was a defense post in early Fleming County. John Fleming married the widow of John Donaldson who was killed by Indians at Strodes Station.
********************************************************
I know of no daughter of James Edmondson of Frederick County, Virginia, who died in Tennessee, named Kate. There is much information on the Edmondsons in Pendleton SC but precious little on James, brother of Thomas who died there in 1809. James died after 1807. The two men in Fleming County were living after 1809 and could not be the men in Pendleton.
The James Edmondson and Thomas Edmondson in Fleming County seem to be closely associated as they are cited in the road work order together. SWE
