Jeanette, I dont know anything about the Stroud Family, but do know something about the Eddings Family. Do you know when Lillie's father was born, his name and where born ? Same for the grandfather? If this family was born before the 1920 census I might be able to trace them. If they were born in the 1700 and 18oo's it would be much easier. Bob Eddings.

James Eddings was my Grandmom's grandfather. His first marriage was 1847 to Ann Bone and they had 5 children. His second marriage was to Maria Marshall Goodwin and they had 2 children. His 3rd marriage was to Emily Moore and they had 5 children. James' parents were John and Winny Eddings.
Would be happy to share if you need more.

Hi,

If you are Don Eddins, I am already on your mailing list and have received your material! Thank you very much! I have not had time to review it carefully and follow up. I appreciate your work, trying to track down the family and finding the THREE William Eddins.

Mary Ann ... I don't have a "history" per se, but I'm trying to collect a coherent story about the Eddins/Eddings line in early Virginia and I do have a short paper that addresses what is known about William I and II and considers possible links back to England. If you wish I could sent it along to you in either Word or PDF format.

Re: Any history of Eddin(g)s families?

Cadmus — 2009-04-05 18:09:39Z

Hi, Chris ... I am one and the same. I'm collecting all those bits and pieces into one document to make it easier to read and follow the story. I just thought I try to find some other people interested in the same issues, hoping to enlist some help or find others with pieces of the puzzle.

Re: Any history of Eddin(g)s families?

sdextereo — 2009-04-05 17:36:07Z

Cadmus, I have recently received documents from Donald L. Eddins of Maryland, regarding the histories of the Eddins/Eddings lines and their origins in England.
Are you two related?

Re: Any history of Eddin(g)s families?

Cadmus — 2009-04-04 18:28:02Z

I have compiled a fair amount of information about several William Eddings/Eddins in Virginia from 1705 'til 1800. It's in rough form but I'd be happy to pass it along if you're still looking.

You might nave better luck posting on Bill Cook's Eddings website. He decends from the same Eddings line as you do. Contact him at billcook44@aol.com. I show Juanita was born 1929 and had at least 3 sons: Larry. Gary, and Jerry Lynn. I have corresponded with your mother in the past about their annual reunions. About 20 years ago Juanita lived in Fort Worth, Texas. As I recall, she descends from Ivan Eddings and I descend from his brother, James Bird Eddings. Bob Eddings

Re: eddings/lee

bobeddings — 2008-05-29 23:57:12Z

Randy, a couple years ago I looked at some Cherokee documents (that Arthur Sturgill had looked at years ago), and I determined (by age) that Tooley wasnot Dave Weaver's wife, but his daughter-in-law. Sometimes she was listed as Tooney. Bob Eddings.

Re: eddings/lee

bobeddings — 2008-05-30 13:03:25Z

LaShawda, the Aquah Lih you mention was born 1-2 years before Elizabeth Weaver was born (1784), that rules her out as her mother.

About 1900-1906 the Cherokees had to fill out several documnents for the US Govt. Joe Weaver filled out some and on one he said his mother was Tooley. On another he said she was Tooney. (NOTE: These are the same documents that family historian Arthur Sturgill read and he was the first person to link Tooley as Dave Weaver's wife.).

Like many people on census reports who list different birth years each census, Joe listed his birth year in the range 1830-1840. I have arbitrarily used 1834 as his birth year. After reviewing hundreds of marriages, I have determined the girls usually married when they were 17-19 years old and their first child was born 1-2 years after that marriage. THat would make the birth year of Joe's mother (Tooley) as about 1815-16. She would have been Dave Weaver's daughter -in-law, not his wife, who would have been born in the 1760's. Joe just called his father 'Weaver". I suspect his father was Joseph Weaver, Dave's youngest son, born circa 1810. On one document Joe said his father died 1842 and mother (Tooley) in 1856.

These documents are listed on Bill Cook's Eddings website, under section "Files and Documents". To get on Bill's website, contact him at billcook44@aol.com. Bob Eddings.

bobeddings — 2008-07-11 00:56:37Z

On 1/2007 I sent your mother a 2 page email on your Eddings family, as I know it. However, it goes farther back on ancestors, than perhaps you are seeking. IT does mention your ancestor going to the Little Rock hospital, but I have no hospital name, etc. I dont know anything about your possible Indian ancestry either. Bob Eddings - no relation.

Re: william r. eddings in n.c.

bobeddings — 2008-07-10 23:49:04Z

Linda, to my knowledge no one has determined the parents of John and Sarah Martin Eddins. I have no idea if they had any Indian blood. If they did have any, they wouldnot have ended up in Oklahoma. There were no Eddins.Eddings. Edens etc. on the Trail of Tears. In the late 1880's some Eddings/Eddins moved to the Indian Territory (including some from my famuly) from Arkansas. They did have Cherokee Blood in them. Bob Eddings

Re: william r. eddings in n.c.

Re: Eddings Search

bobeddings — 2008-06-27 21:32:23Z

The info you included for your husband's family probably will not get you any responses. If you can get me answers to my questions I probably can take your Eddings family back several generations. For example, John Eddings was born circa 1776 in North Carolina. At that time no Eddins, Eddings, Edings, etc. had yet moved into Georgia. I also descend from John Eddings. Bob Eddings

Re: william r. eddings in n.c.

Linda_Eddings — 2008-07-11 02:44:29Z

Pardon if this is a duplicate. My other post seems to have vanished. I couldn't help but wonder since there were no Eddings on the Trail of Tears, that possibly our Eddings were part of the small group who hid in the mountains while the rest were forced out. Stretch I know....but my mind is trying to figure out all possibilities. I made contact last night with a cousin from this line who is still in SC and says she was also told they were Indian. She said that after John and Mary died, their children were separated and raised by different families. Her ggrandmother was one of John's daughters. She still has her grandmothers bible and will see what information she can gather from that. She also mentioned that she heard most of the records were burned, which might explain why we can' find anything. Civil war possibly????

Re: william r. eddings in n.c.

Linda_Eddings — 2008-07-10 03:10:41Z

I realize this is an older post, but was curious if any info had been found past John Eddings and Mary Sarah Martin? My husband is from this line. William R.(son of John and Mary) was the father of Charlie Melton, who is the father of Charles William, who is the father of my husband Wyatt. My husband said he was always told they were Indian, but I can not find any link. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Re: william r. eddings in n.c.

Linda_Eddings — 2008-07-10 12:07:41Z

Wouldn't surprise me if they are related if they are Indian. Didn't the majority of them in Oklahoma get there from the Trail of Tears when they were forced out of NC? Thanks for the info and hopefully we can exchange some helpful "clues".

Re: william r. eddings in n.c.

eddingsl — 2008-07-10 11:47:42Z

Thank you for the contact.

I am sorry I can't tell you anything about the N.C. Eddings line. I am working on the Eddings line in Arkansas, there is (said to be) Indian in my line that came out of Oklahoma. My grandfather Jessie Gibbon Eddings said his mother was Indian. She (my ggmother) passed in a state hospital in Little Rock, AR. This hospital had a fire and records were lost. I have not found any information on the hospital or on my ggmother. My mother knows alot about eddings in AR. My mother welcomes the chance to exchange information (her e-mail is nedinne@hotmail.com) she might have heard about eddings in N.C. or she might know somebody who is working on another eddings that might have answers.

Thank you for the Info.. I don't know why family lines have to be so tricky!! So, have you found out anything about Dave Weaver's wife's name & who she was? That is a reel stump. How come it seems that the family line just vanishes!!So how long have you been working on the family line? I am trying to finish our line just from my Grandpa Carver. He had 11 children,& then the family just keeps going on!! So, I have to keep up with them. My Dad& his Sister is the last of the 11 kids. I would like to finish the line soon. Anyway that's the plan. Do you know if anyone down the line has been acsepted into the Cherokee Tribe? LaShawnda

Re: eddings/lee

lashawnda11 — 2008-06-03 05:09:38Z

Thank you again for answering. So were not a descendant of Francis Light foot Lee, well that is good to know.Does our side of the Lees,have Cherokee in the line? Have you herd weather the Ramsey, or Borne(Bowen) have Cherokee? Don't you just love me picking your brain!!Oh yes, do you know who John Sen. Eddings father was? Do you also know who Dave Weaver's father was? I'm still looking. How long have you been working on our family line? Have you found anyone on our family line that has been recognised by the Cherokee Nation? LaShawnda

Re: eddings/lee

lashawnda11 — 2008-05-26 06:43:39Z

Yes, My name is LaShawnda & I was wondering if you might know more on the Lee family line. I am also from the Eddings / Lee line.Alfred M Lee married Elizabeth Selvidge,then John Conway Jefferson Lee married Elizabeth Eddings,then Nancy Jane Lee Married Charles Samuel Ramsey, then,Mary Almira Jane Ramsey Married George Milo Carver, Then,My Grandpa Burl Oliver Carver Married Luthera Cutler Spoor,Then My dad the youngest of 11. Do you know what Alfred M Lee's parent's names were & so on? Do you have anything about them ? I would really like to know . Thank You. LaShawnda

Re: eddings/lee

lashawnda11 — 2008-05-30 03:21:13Z

How was Tooley not Dave Weaver's wife? How did you determine her age? When & where was she born? Whom did she marry? Her name was Aqual Lih Tooley. As far as I could see, it appeared she was his wife. You must have some documents on this that I don't have. If so, could you tell me. Thank you, LaShawnda

Re: eddings/lee

lashawnda11 — 2008-05-29 15:33:40Z

I'm sorry, it's not John Lightfoot Lee ,it's Francis Lightfoot Lee. The Francis might be spelled different & he signed the Declaration of Independence, that is what was said down the line in the family. Again , if you find anything ,please let me know. LaShawnda

Re: eddings/lee

lashawnda11 — 2008-05-29 06:35:53Z

Thank you so much for replying. I also was wondering if the Lee side was related to John Light Foot Lee? I have heard stories of that.Was Elija Lea/Lee of the Indian Desent? I heard he was , I guess my dads Grandma really showed it(Almara Jane Ramsey Carver)her mother was Nancy Jane Lee. If you know anything, please let me know. Thank you so much. LaShawnda

I would like to make contact with Juanita Eddings Ray or her family members. My mother is Joyce Eddings McPherson. She corresponded with Juanita and has lost contact with her. I am interested in family photos and stories. We have a couple of pictures of my mother's family that are in bad shape and would like to know if Juanita has the originals. I can have them restored if scanned and sent to me by email.

Re: eddings/lee

sammieRandyLee84 — 2008-05-27 15:11:17Z

LaShawnda, I am also a descendant of Alfred Lee (btw, I think the initial "M" is incorrect) and Elizabeth Selvidge through John Conway Jefferson Lee and Elizabeth Eddings. I made a trip out to Monroe Co., TN a couple of years ago and found some information pertinent to Alfred's lineage. I believe that he is the son of Elijah Lea/Lee. I found some land transactions there that seem to back this up. Elijah was born about 1760 and lived in Buncombe Co., NC until sometime between the 1800 and 1810 census when he shows up in Monroe Co., TN.

There is a DNA project at Relative Genetics (now ancestry.com) which has a known descendant of Elijah's and several of Alfred's known descendants tested. The results are a 100% match for the two lines which leads me to believe that Alfred is likely Elijah's son. If you would like to contact me by email you can do that at randylee@missvalley.com. I would be more than happy to share information with you.

Re: eddings/lee

sammieRandyLee84 — 2008-06-02 21:59:24Z

Anyone interested in viewing the data compiled at the Lee Family DNA project can do so by following this link: http://www.relativegenetics.com/relativegenetics/index.jsp and typing in the Login: LeeFamily and Password: LeeDNA. I believe the login and password are case sensitive, so type it in exactly as you see it here. Three individuals from our Lee line have been tested. They can be accessed by clicking the "Project Results" tab and then scrolling down to the name you want to look at. Our Lee family records are listed under "Desc of Alfred Lea/Lee . . ". By clicking the arrow to the left of the name the entire list will resort and you can view all the Lees who have tested with similar results.

Re: eddings/lee

sammieRandyLee84 — 2008-06-02 16:41:32Z

As a side note, the DNA testing has identified four "pockets" of Lees scattered across the USA each of which are related. Until the results were released on the RG website these groups didn't know about each other. Now we are working together to find the common ancestor from which we all descend. One group immigrated through Kentucky, one to northwestern Alabama and southern Indiana, one stayed in Virginia and then our line immigrated through North Carolina, Tennessee and on to Southern Missouri. Hopefully we can identify that common ancestor and maybe determine where and when he came to the USA.

Re: eddings/lee

sammieRandyLee84 — 2008-05-30 22:12:31Z

I doubt that we are in any way related to Francis Lightfoot Lee. If I understand correctly, Francis was somehow related to Light Horse Harry Lee, the father of Robert E. Lee, the confederate general. A descendant of a close relative of Light Horse Harry Lee, Charles Carter Lee, has joined the Lee DNA project at Relative Genetics. DNA evidence shows that there is no tie between the Charles Carter Lee descendant and the Lee's from our line who have been tested. In fact, we are of different haplogroups. The Charles Carter Lee descendant is part of haplogroup Ila while our Lee's are R1b. It seems that most Lee families have a "story" told by someone who "knows" that they are related to the Lee's of Virginia. But it seems that DNA evidence has disproven this possibility in our case.
