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.
