William Edgar, born ca 1816, son of John E Edgar and Margaret Danelly/Donnelly/Hannelly. John E Edgar lived in Edgar Springs area, Pulaski, later Phelps Co.
The 1840 fed cen shows a male in the family that could possibly be William Edgar. He does not show on the 1850 census that I can find. I have no information on him except
for family genealogy papers which give a birthdate as 29 Nov 1816, and the fact that he was supposed to have a daughter Nancy Edgar, no birthdate.
Does anyone have any information concerning William or his daughter Nancy? Or a possible spouse?
John and Margaret had a daughter Nancy Edgar born 16 July 1820, again from family genealogy papers. They also had another daughter Nancy F Edgar born 1841.
It is reasonable to suppose that this daughter was named after the first daughter, a common naming thing to do. What occured to me tonight- is it also reasonable to wonder if this 2nd Nancy is not a daughter but a granddaughter of Margarets, the missing child of my missing William. Call it befuddled groping for a research clue!
Can anyone lead me to some solid sources for this family?
