Margaret, thanks for confirming John W.'s parents. All I know beyond my last posting is that Martha was the daughter of Jesse Humphrey Walker (1812, Loudoun Co., VA - 1879, Nodaway Co., MO) & Eliza Huddle (1817, Ross Co., OH - 1886, Nodaway Co., MO). Do you know when John Wesley Edmisten died? Or how I might trace their children, Harry Lawrence and Eliza Pauline?
