Simpson Edge died Nov 6, 1854. His will was probated in Sumter Co. Evaline Penn Edge died 
Nov 2, 1858. Her will was probated in Schley Co. Their family farm was in the southeastern 
part of Schley Co. It was bought from the family by Wm and Cecelia Childers. It became 
known as "The Childers Place." Their sons, Wm Henry and Warren Lee served in the Confederate 
Army. Wm Henry served in the 11th Bn Sumter Flying Artillery under Maj. Allen S. Cutts along 
with his brother-in-law, Wm. W. English. In the 1870's the three Edge sins and their 
families moved to the Bryan Tex. area. They established a large family in Texas. These 
Texas families maintained contact with their Ga. families with many family members visiting 
in Ga through the years. One young couple visited in Ellaville [Ga] in the 1960's.

Among descendents of Simpson and Evaline now living in the area are: Heywood Johnson, 
Ellaville; Miss Josephine Esterlin and Geo. Warren Dykes ,of Americus; and Mrs. Homer 
Fowler of Englishville.
