  1. 1.  Rev. Edward Edmunds was born 5 May 1815, Sennett, Cayuga Co., NY (son of Joseph Edmunds and Susanna Chapman); died 2 Jun 1900, Boston, Suffolk Co., MA.

    Notes:

    Edward was a clergyman. His death record gives his birthplace as Sennet, NY, and the birthplace of his parents as Adams, MA. No parents are named.

    He settled in Boston, MA; census records show him living in Boston from 1850 to 1900.

    One Boston directory has him listed as pastor of the First Christian Church.

    Edward married Mary S. Slade Bef 1 Jun 1850. Mary (daughter of Edward Slade and Mary Davis) was born 1818, MA; died 10 Feb 1897, MA. [Group Sheet]

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Joseph Edmunds was born 23 Mar 1780, Cheshire, Berkshire Co., MA (son of Edward Edmunds and Isabel Stafford); died 6 Feb 1859, Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY; was buried , Joseph Remington Farm, Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY.

    Notes:

    This family is from MA, but appears in the 1820 census in Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY.

    In 1840, the household of J. Edmunds at Brutus is as follows: free white males 2 age 10-14, 1 age 15-19, 1 age 20-29, and 1 age 60-69; free white females 1 age 10-14, 1 age 15-19, 1 age 20-29, and 1 age 50-59.

    Two of the youngest children would be William and Martha; the two other young females must be Mary and Sylvia; and of course the adults are the parents.

    I don't know who the other three boys are -- they could be unknown children, grandchildren, hired help, or foster children.

    In 1850, the household is as follows: Joseph Edmunds 70 MA, Susanna 67 MA, William 22 NY, Martha 20 NY; also Erastus Griswold 19, and Martha Cresson (?) 14.

    In the DETROIT SOCIETY FOR GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH MAGAZINE (date unknown), on p. 88 the following appears: "PRIVATE CEMETERY ON JOSEPH REMINGTON FARM, east and north of Sennett, in Brutus township, Cayuga County, New York.

    From Ed Voorhees at Rootsweb's Worldconnect:
    In the Boston Transcript for 19 Mar 1928 (available in the Dallas, TX, Public Library on microcard, "Boston Transcript, 1906-1941" the following is reported: EDMUNDS, CHAPMAN, STAFFORD. Joseph Edmunds, Quaker, Cheshire Mass., born March 22, 1780, died Feb. 6, 1859, married Susie or Susanna Chapman, Presbyterian, born Nov. 19, 1782, died April 11, 1867; she may have been born in Great Barrington, Mass. Joseph was son of Edward Edmunds and Isabel Stafford, Records say that Isabel's father was officer in the Revolution.

    Joseph married Susanna Chapman 25 Mar 1802, Great Barrington, MA. Susanna (daughter of Ezra Chapman and Esther Avery) was born Abt Nov 1783; died 11 Apr 1867, Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY; was buried , Joseph Remington Farm, Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Susanna Chapman was born Abt Nov 1783 (daughter of Ezra Chapman and Esther Avery); died 11 Apr 1867, Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY; was buried , Joseph Remington Farm, Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY.

    Notes:

    In 1860, Susanna Edmunds is age 77, living with Philander and Sylvia Remington. I am assuming Sylvia is her daughter.
