Cayce/Ledford/Coomer connection Edgar Cayce
Could you name your great-grandmother in the picture? I have many Cayce relatives and can reach D. D. Cayce III who might be able to fill in any other questions. Are you descended from one of Edgar's sisters? Joseph T Major

Hi! My name is Julia. My great-great grandmother was Mary Bell Ledford. The other relatives in the picture were Frank Ballinger Ledford (her father), Nancy Coomer (her mother), her sisters(Sade, Alifair), and brothers(Millard, and Everitt). We feel that the picture was taken around the 1890's in or around Harlan, Ky. (At least that is where we feel they were living at the time according to my grandmother (a Spurlock)and daughter to Mary Ledford who married James Spurlock. Thank You for your reply! Julia Natal...Pennsylvania

Re: Cayce/Ledford/Coomer connection Edgar Cayce
Hello, I am searching for an Elizabeth Cayce who was married John Adams. Do you have these 2 people in your line. If so, so do I. I need more information of the two. John Adams is in my direct line. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: Cayce/Ledford/Coomer connection Edgar Cayce
Do you know the dates of her bith and death? My grandmother's grandmother was Elizabeth Cayce, (she went by Bettie and was known to my family as Aunt Betts.), I don't know if she is the one you are looking for, but may have been married previously?? She was Edgar's father Leslie Burr's cousin, her father was Leslie's brother Pleasant Cayce if I remember right. She was married to Romulus S. Kimbro about 1850 and was the mother of my great-grandfather Adolphus Agustus Kimbro. They lived in Hickman County, KY and Fulton County, KY.

Leslie Burr Cayce did not have a brother Pleasant, but he did have an uncle Pleasant Cayce (b 1811 d: 1849) Pleasant Cayce did have a daughter Elizabeth (b: 12 JUN 1842 d: 1877), I have her as marrying Edwin Deloach Killebrew (b: 1832 d: 1887) on 11 AUG 1859.

Re: Cayce/Ledford/Coomer connection Edgar Cayce
You are absolutely right, that's what I get for trying to go by memory! My g-g-g-grandmother was Mary Elizabeth Cayce Kimbro, born in 1833, the daughter of Fleming Cayce and Cynthia Little. Fleming was the son of Shadrach Cayce II and Ann Flowers. Fleming's brother was William, who was the father of Thomas, who was the father of Leslie Burr, who was the father of Edgar. Fleming and Thomas were first cousins, and Mary Elizabeth and Leslie Burr were second cousins. Thanks for correcting me. There are Elizabeths all over the place in the Cayce line, and I have a hard time keeping them straight.
