#8002: The Times of Long Ago, Franklin Gorin, 1877, South Central Ky. Historical & Genealogical Society, Barren Co., KY. A SHORT SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF CAPTAIN WM. EDMUNDS. Captain Edmunds, the son of James Edmunds and Sarah Lavender, his wife, was born in Amherst County, Va., October, 1776.

He married Mary Ann Penn, a daughter of Joseph Penn and Frances Burrus, his wife, on the 30th of March, 1805. She was also born in Amherst County, Va., Feb. 11th, 1790.

Wm. Edmunds was a successful merchant in New Glasgow, Va. He resided there for several years after his marriage until about 1808, when he purchased a farm in the neighborhood on which he resided until the fall of 1810. In November of that year he arrived in Barren County with his family and a number of slaves, and settled on his thousand acre tract of land on the North side of Beaver Creek in the woods.

He immediately commenced opening a farm with the assistance of his slaves, and in 1812
raised ten hogsheads of tobacco, besides provisions for his family and stock. He carried to John Cole's warehouse, on Big Barren River, the first hogshead of tobacco taken there. Some of the neighbors, who saw it on the road, were astonished at the "big barrel" as they called it.

He was a Director of the Branch at Glasgow of the Old Bank of Kentucky. He was an able and efficient Justice of the Peace of the county of Barren for a quarter of a century or more before the present Constitution, and would soon have been entitled to the office of Sheriff of Barren County. He was never engaged in politics except as a private citizen. As a Justice of the Peace he administered the law faithfully, correctly and justly. He would not as far as in his power permit the poor to be oppressed; he had an utter detestation of oppressing either whites or blacks. For the loan of money he would never receive but six per cent, per annum. He never sought office, he believed the office should seek the man. He loved his farm and was a
practical farmer. He was affectionate, humane and kind to his wife, children, neighbors, and especially to the poor and his slaves. He was a quiet, orderly, peace, moral, generous, benevolent man; temperate in all things; a man of strict veracity and honesty. He built, or mainly built, a brick church on his land, near his house. He was a Free Mason and the first Senior Warder of the Allen Lodge in Glasgow. He was a faithful member of the Methodist Church, as was his wife and most of his children.

His wife, Mary Ann, died March 3rd, 1846. He died June 21st, 1863, highly respected
and lamented. He and his wife had twelve children - five sons and seven daughters - all of whom save one son married. Three of his sons, Charles P., William Henry and Edmund A., a number of grandchildren and great grandchildren are amongst us, and are good and valuable citizens.

"He likely lived in the part of Amherst Co., VA which was broken off to form Nelson Co., VA in 1807 until his move to Barren Co., VA in about 1810.

He wrote his Will on 22 May 1862 while a resident of Barren Co., KY. It was proved in Court on 27 June 1863. The entire Will is written in his own handwriting. It mentions his daughter, Sally R. Snoddy and her children William A. Snoddy and Robert A. Snoddy, Charles Penn Edmunds, Martha Ann, Elizabeth L., James Terrence, William Henry, his daughter-in law, A. Edunnds (wife of William Henry, and their children Critender and William), Caroline Winston, Edmund Alexander (he got the homestead).

He has a bible with an 1835 copyright in which he has vital statistics entered for his parents, his siblings, himself, his wife and his children. The initial entries were made on 12/27/1839. Thereafter, the entries were presumable made as they occurred."
