I have a little info on Edmond and Rebecca. They were married 2 December 1842 in McNary Co., Tennesse. Edmond died 20 January 1872 in Longs Mill, Stone Co., Missouri. I think they found his grave out in a field. Write to Fleta Aday. She is the one who put the Aday Repository together.

Edmond and Rebecca's children:

John Wesley ADAY 26 January 1848 born in Searcy Co., Arkansas
Wade Blassingame ADAY 7 February 1850
Lucinda J. ADAY 15 November 1854
Elizabeth ADAY 4 April 1858
Martha E. ADAY 7 July 1860

I may be able to find out more for you about the birth places of the children. Here are a couple of census records that may help.

Rebecca 23 Tn
Francis 9 Tn
Emily 4 Ark

Hope this helps. Oh, did you know that John Wesley Aday, son of Edmond was murdered? I have a picture of him, but my scanner is down right now.
