William Edmunson was born ca. 1682 at Cork, Ireland, the son of Samuel Edmundson (1659-1719) and the grandson of William Edmundson (1627-1712), "the Irish Quaker" preacher. He and his family immigrated to America ca. 1715 and settled at London Grove, Pennsylvania, on land owned by his grandfather. His great grandson, Thomas Edmundson (1774-1849), was born in York County, Pennsylvania, the son of Thomas and Mary Penrose Edmundson. He married Elizabeth Morsell (1780-1859) in 1803 at the Bush Creek Meeting, Frederick County, Maryland. They had nine children, 1804-1825. The family migrated from York County, Pennsylvania, to Frederick County, Maryland, in 1818, to Clark County, Ohio, in 1834, and to Jay County, Indiana, in 1837. They both died in Jay County. Descendants lived in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Oklahoma and elsewhere.
