My Genealogy Hound

DAVID C. EDMONDSON, farmer of Williamson County, Tenn., was born October 7, 1831, and is a son of John and Mary Edmondson, who were natives of the State. To them were born these children: Henry C., David C., Barbara H., John A., Mira L., Elizabeth B., Jane W., William A., Mary, Martha and Caroline. Our subject’s boyhood days were spent in farming and attending the common schools, where he received a good education. He has always followed the occupation of farming and has succeeded well financially, and owns at the present time a comfortable home and 205 acres of as good land as Williamson County produces, on which he located in 1882. December 22, 1858, he was married to Priscilla O’Neal, who was born June 16, 1840, daughter of John F. and Matilda O’Neal, of Davidson County, Tenn. Mr. and Mrs. Edmondson became the parents of three interesting children — one daughter and two sons: Jennie P., Starnes W. J. and John F. Mrs. Edmondson died May 20, 1879: she was a member of the Presbyterian Church. Our subject is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and in politics is a Democrat. The family are early settlers of Tennessee, and of Scotch-Irish descent.
