Your great-great grandfather, James Eddleman was one of seven children born to Peter Eddleman and Rachel Elrod
All children were born in Kentucky near Crab Orchard (as recorded in a jounal of my grandmother's)
Margaret 1785-1857
Robert 1786-1872
Matilda
Sarah 1791-
Mary 1798-
James Eddleman 1799-1846
Elizabeth1810-1889
James Eddleman and Rachel Elrod were both born in 1762 and died both died in 1856 at the age of 95.They were married in 1781.
Grandmother also wrote in her journal that your great grandfather died in Shreveport, La at the home of his daughter and was buried in Longview, Texas.
I have the names of your grandfather's siblings if you need them.He was married twice.Your grandmother was his second wife.His first wife was Alice (I cannot make out her maiden name).They were married only 3 years (1914-1917) when she died.I also have a photo taken in 1950 that includes two of your great aunts; Evie Eddleman Lane and Callie Eddleman Alston.
I can tell you more about your Eddleman relatives but thought this is where you would like to begin.
Best regards,
Betty
