    Notes:

    Edward was the seventh son of a large family. His boyhood was mainly spent in that troubled period after the Civil War. He had to be content with modest educational opportunities which ended early when he had to stop school and go to work.

    He spent his business career in Southside, Virginia. He was successful and became a highly respected citizen. In 1899, he was elected Chairman of the Charlotte County Democratic Committee and served for a term of four years. In 1904, he moved to Brookneal, Campbell County, Virginia and became President of the Brookneal Bank.

    Edward was a Baptist and served as a Deacon of the Staunton River Baptist church in Charlotte County for many years. He was a member of the Masonic Fraternity in all of its various divisions, from Blue Lodge to Knight Templar, being affiliated with the De Molay Commandery of Lynchburg.

    He enjoyed reading history and general literature.

    His first wife was the daughter of William Carrington and Marie Louise (Whitehead) Tate of Chalk Level, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. The Williams reference calls her Ida Brown Tate.

    His second wife was the daughter of Joseph Nicolas and Elizabeth Barnes (Hodge) Edmunds.

    Edward died at his home, "The Pines", Brookneal, Campbell County, Virginia.

    The Williams reference says he was born on 25 Apr 1856 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and that his first marriage took place in Chalk Level, Virginia.

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  James Monroe was born in 1766 in , Lunenburg Co., Virginia, USA (son of William Thomas Monroe and Mary Ramsey); died in 1840 in , Halifax Co., Virginia, USA.

    Notes:

    James' wife was called Sally. One reference calls her Rebecca.

    He is listed on the personal property tax lists as under 21 in Apr 1787 and over 21 in Apr 1788, so he must have been born between Apr 1766 and Apr 1767.

    James bought 86 acres in Campbell County, Virginia from Josiah Crews on 6 Oct 1796 for 66 pounds 13 shillings (Deed book 4 page 49). James and Sarah sold this land to David Tolbet in 1814 (Deed book 10 page 293).

    Dates of the children's birth come from 1810 census of Campbell County with the assumption that children not in 1810 census were born between 1810 and 1820. There may have been a son between Martha and Nancy who died before 1840.
