1. ↑ Letter from Wm G. Lowry, Clerk of the Co. Court, Abingdon, Virginia to Lyman C. Draper, dated Feb. 17, 1881; Draper Manuscript Collection, Series DD (King's Mountain Papers Vol 14-15), compiled by Lyman Draper (1815-1891), item 14DD65. William Lowry, in response to a request from Mr. Draper for information on William Edmiston, contacted Wm C. Edmondson [Col. Edmiston's grandson] who provided Mr. Lowry with a list of Col. Edmiston's children (1 list for each of his two wives), as well as each child's year of birth. Mr. Lowry noted that the information was from the Family Bible Record of Maj. [later Col.] Wm Edmiston. The second list of children is headed by this entry: "his second wife was Miss Kennedy who had 8 children". The first child listed under this heading was Martha M. born 1779.
