Edward G. Colston (sp)--1764/1870
Would like to hear from anyone who might have information on the following family.I found them quite by accident while surfing the census for Colston's of varied spellings.
Edward G. Colston was born in Scotland, to my knowledge; his first census recording is listed in 1820 Franklin Co., TN; 1830 Wayne Co., TN census; 1840/1850/1860 Williamson Co., TN.He is not listed on 1870 census, so he probably died before that date.
He is listed as a Druggist on 1860 census with real estate valued at $18,000.
It is possible he could be my ancestor, but may not be probable.
Thanks
Gladys
