John R. Edmon, my g-grandfather, was brother of George Washington Edmon. Mari's g-grandfather. We have hit a solid brick wall with their parents.
John R. married Martha Allen Coffee 9 August 1874....but where?
In 1880, they were in Cass County, TX with two children: daughter, Susan Ann, b. 1875 in TN; son, George Anderson, b. 1878 in TX. Two more sons, William Robert, b. 1880 and James Richard, b. 1883....where?
In 1884, Susan died in October and George died in December. But where.... and from what? Was there an epidemic?
In March 1886, a daughter, Gracie Lee, was born in Miller county, AR (Texarkana). Another daughter, Ida May (1889) and a son, John Allen Morris Edmon (1891). John R. died in July 1893.
From that point, I have the history from Granny's(Gracie Lee) Bible and from family lore ..... and being there. Have now found most of the descendants of John & Martha.
Mari has found another cousin, Phyllis, who did some research at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. We still have no positive identification of John R.'s & George W.'s parentage.
Need help, please.
