Welcome
to genealogical research on
(about 1745 - about 1799) and Mary [UNKNOWN] EDGAR (about 1750 - before 1805),
their ancestors and descendants.
Current lore indicates Adam and Mary were born in PENNSYLVANIA and migrated to SOUTH CAROLINA as part of a larger
migration that populated the "backcountry of the Southern United Sates."
They had three boys and two girls who grew to adulthood -- William, Margaret, John, Abigail, and James.
Their descendants have taken the family tree to ILLINOIS, KANSAS, MISSOURI, TENNESSEE, TEXAS, OHIO, CALIFORNIA,
and back to PENNSYLVANIA.
After visiting these summary webpages, peruse the Family Tree Database for details and dates, photos and photo galleries,
histories and photo histories, timelines, reports, documents, sources, and much more about families and individuals in our
family tree.
