Troy,
John and Drusilla were married Oct 22, 1886 in Clay County. The marriage is registered in
Bk 6, on Pg 475. It's probable, since James was born in 1881 that she was married
before. She is shown in the Marriage index as
John D Craig md Drewilla Edmone and
Drowilla Edmone md John D Craig
The closest other thing I found was by searching the 1880 U.S. Census Index for a Drusilla
Edmonds, b. TN within 2 years of 1852 and found this, which could either be a very big
help or a very big coincidence:
T9-1276, Dist. 8, Rutherford Cnty, TN, Pg 113B:
Jo S. Edmonds Carpenter 39 VA VA VA
Drucilla Edmonds Wife 30 TN TN TN
Samuel Son 12 TN VA TN
Sterling Son 9
Edgar Son 5
Ethel Dau 7M
Matilda Owen MIL 65 TN TN TN
The bad news is, for James to have been born in 1881 in Indiana, the family would have had
to have gone to Indiana right after this census and I can't find any of the above
children in the marriage index!
