                  The Pedigo Family

				
     A copy from Edward Pedigo's history of his ancestors. He died at the age
of 89 years at Eden Valley, Washington.

				
    My great grandfather was a Frenchman and my great grandmother was an
English woman.  They married in Maryland and there reared
a family of 15 children:

				
    Edward Pedigo my grandfather, being the youngest of the family. He in the
company of his brother Robin moved to Virginia, and there
married Miss Hannah Elkins, and reared a family of 14 children, 7 sons and 7
daughters.  The sons names were
Joseph, Able, Levi, Henry, Elijah, John and Elkin.  The girls names after
marriage were Lucy Clark, Nancy
Sneed, Bashie Cockran, Hannah Reeves, Elizabeth Edwards, Amy Hardy and Keziah
Bell

				
    My grandfather died in Barren County, Kentucky at the age of 105 years.
Joseph, his oldest son married Dolly Edwards and reared a
family of 9 children, 6 sons and 3 daughters whose names after marriage were
Polly Helton, Elizabeth Taylor
and Mary Bell.  The sons were James, William, Joseph (who was murdered when
he was about 20-21 years
old) John, and Henry, and myself Edward Pedigo who is the youngest of the
family.  My grandfather Edward
Pedigo was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and lived prior to Kentucky,
on what was called Blue Ridge,
Virginia.  I have often heard my father tell of the great battles he was in.

				(This is a restoration of a document that was written by Henry Pedigo of
Clarkson Washington.)
