Margaret: In 1920 census in Cumberland Co NC in the hh of John T. New are David Edge BL68 and Margarett Edge sister 71 and Alfred P. Edge nephew 35 (with his children).

David named Lillie who married Alfred Parker. There is a marriage record for Lillie Edge 22 toAlford Parker 29 on May 30 1918. Greendal's middle initial is "L" maybe for Lillie and the ageand location matches. She is with parents in 1910 census as age 15. (Sharon is Sharon DoverRomanek.).

Matilda Clifton #3221, b. Sep 18 1883, d. Dec 7 1967, buried: Old Suggs Grove Baptist45
Church Cemetery. May be grandchild through Pricilla. Not sure how it all fits but here is data. In1900 census, there is a Wm. Edge birthdate listed as Apr 1864 but age 34 with wife Vira. In1910, there is a W.H. age 47 (b. 1863) with wife Lillie 27 (b. 1883). Also in hh is Martha 67, anaunt. This is probably Martha, dau of Elias and this makes the 1910 census be for William the GSof Elias. Marriage record: Wm Edge 42 Matilda Clifton Edge 21 in Bladen Mar 10 1904 in homeof Eliza Smith. Witnesses: Charles Smith, Wash Smith, J.A. Smith.
Vira: Do not see children again.
Matilda: Matilda Clifton Edge in cemetary with Leonard & Nancy Edge and Lee, wife of
Evander Edge. In 1910 census, wife's name is Lillie age 27. Age matches marriage & cemeteryrecords for Matilda, so this may be a nickname.

William died aft 1900. Listed as James Edge in Bladen Co 1860,1870,1880,1900. There is no20
other James or Wm J. to match these census records with. The ages of James tracks as 34 in1860, to 43 to 54 to 72 in 1900. Since William J. is called Jim and is age 23 in 1850 I matchedthese records to him. Possible problem is that there is a Wm. J. Edge age 32 on May 3 1861 whenhe enlists. He is killed on May 3 1863. I have not identified this person who came from Bladen.

Leonard is not found in 1880 census because not yet born and not in 1900 census with David butis probably off on his own. He is in 1910 & 1920 census in Bladen and his marriage in 1903 isrecorded. David, A.P. and Len Edge are witnesses to Marshall's marriage in 1902 at David'shouse. Len Edge is witness to Evander's marriage in 1909. This all points to Leonard being son ofDavid since A.P. (Alfred), Marshall and Evander are sons of David. Sharon Romano's ancestorMary Ward claimed Leonard was son of David.

aft 1920. William died 1898-1900. With parents in 1880. Marriage record: William A. Edge 25 toCharlotte A. McDonald 22 in Cross Creek on Feb 10 1892. Wm A. Edge 28 to Malissa AnnAutry 24 in Cross Creek on Jun 3 1895. I think these are the same Wm A. and the age matchesthis Wm A. Death date based on son's age and fact that 2nd wife Malissa is not with him in 1900.Note: there is another William Edge b. 1866 who is grandson of Elias but his middle initial is notgiven.
Malissa: In hh of brother in law Wiley Nunry in 1900 with son Jasper J. Edge age 2. This impliesthat she was married to an Edge. Marriage record: Wm. A.
