5 January 2014 note from researcher Beverly Brunelle: It appears that Benjamin Edmondson (b. about 1694 died about 1726 m. Margaret Upton Finney - CANNOT be the son of Thomas Edmondson (b. before 1643 and d. 1715 Essex Cty, VA). Benjamin has always been a confusion as he was not listed in Thomas' Will. Various reasons could have explained this, however, Benjamin's descendants appear to be of the I1 Haplogroup. Of the sons named IN Thomas' Will, from both Joseph and Thomas (Jr) lines - they are Q Haplogroup.
