My earliest proven ancestor is Catherine Eddleman who received land just east of Lexington, Kentucky, for settling on it in 1778. My lineage is Catherine Eddleman ==> John Eddleman ==> James Eddleman ==> Marion Eddleman ==> Claude Eddleman ==> Harold Lee Eddleman (me) ==> Glenn Ray Eddleman.
If you have corresponded with other geneologists over a period, you have likely see instances where myth has taken on the aura of fact by being transmitted letter to letter. The Internet allows geneologists to publish authenic records so that others can see them without the effort and risk of pen to pen transmission errors. This page is such an effort. Some Eddlemans accept lineages that I have not seen proof of. I hope they will provide me the authenic records for publication on this page for all to study.
Begin here to see all the original references I have collected since 1958. Many people have helped me. Since I live ten miles west of the site of John Eddleman's Mill on Big Indian Creek (ca 1815-1840) and I have visited most local courthouses, SAR Library, Filson Club, and Kentucky Historical Society and State Museum., I fear I have seen all the extant local materials on the progeny of Catherine Eddleman. If you have ideas of searches I should make, contact me by e-mail, or US Mail.

Bible of John Eddleman Copyright
1844, Purchases AD 1853.
This John Eddleman (cabinet maker) is the son of
the John Eddleman (mill builder). This cabinet maker never married. I think
I saw this bible at Home of Minnie Arabell Eddleman Bruce about 1978. It
appears John entered some dates in his bible and other(s) made entry of
his death and other events.
