  • 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.
      EDMUNDS, Joseph d. Feb. 6, 1859; ae. 78 yrs, 10 mos, 14 d;

      (copied October 1936 by Clarence L. Beavis)."

      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.
