- [S2268] Research of Tom Colley, Hanceville, Alabama; Mr. Colley cites Washington County, Virginia Deaths, 1853-1896; Bureau of Vital Statistics, Richmond, VA; Library of Virginia Microfilm Roll #30 which states: William H. [sic] Edmondson, b. Glade Spring, d. 1870, age 9m, croup, s/o S. P. & C. Edmondson. He also notes that the courthouse copy of the register reports the date of death as 1871. He was recorded as present when the 1870 population schedule was tallied, indicating he was alive as of June 1, 1870. He was also listed on the mortality schedule which should only have included persons who died between June 1, 1869 and June 1, 1870. The enumerator visited the house in Sept. 1870 and it appears he included William on his list despite the fact he had died after the official June 1, 1870 cut-off date. His presence on the 1870 mortality schedule does establish that the 1871 year of death was not correct, leaving 1870 as the most likely year.
