• Notes

  Edward PEDIGO (under spelling PEDIFORD) is in honor list, D.A.R. lineage book 4:252. D.A.R. certificate names him as Edward PEDIGO. He is actually listed in the book with both names. He became known as "Grandsire Ned". The family [Henry, et al.] settled near Annapolis, MD. There is a well defined tradition that Robert and Edward ran away from their home and never returned. They explained to their immediate descendants that they fled from the oppression of a tyrannical stepmother. The story goes that this stepmother was a devotee of fashion and gaieties of society and that she pressed the two stepsons into all sorts of menial service, and gave them no opportunity of education. Under the stress of the situation, Robert, being sent to drive a herd of milk cows one afternoon, failed to return. Later he went back and succeeded in getting a secret interview with Edward and persuaded him to go with him. An interesting note in the story is that the stepmother was extremely proud of her fair complexion. Among other cosmetic precautions, she set aside a jug of milk with which to bathe her face each morning. The two boys, before their final departure, gathered green walnuts, squeezed the juice from them and poured it into the jug of milk." [Green walnut juice, when coming in contact with skin, turns that skin a deep brown, almost black. The stain is indelible, cannot be removed, and must wear off gradually.] "The two brothers wandered as far as the York River Valley in Virginia. Remaining there until they were grown men. They worked their way through the wilderness to the South Piedmont region, to the locality now covered by Henry and Patrick Co. They were among the pioneers in that region and took up large areas of land under royal grants. Robert settled on the north side, and Edward on the south side of Smiths River. Any well-informed surveyor in Henry Co., to this day, can point out a very old tree as Pedigo Corner. This colonial landmark is on Mulberry Creek near the town of Martinsville, VA." "Edward, was an American Patriot, and has a long and interesting record, not only in the Revolutionary War, but also the French and Indian Wars "Edward first enlisted Feb. 13, 1778, for one year. He was then in Capt. Charles Fleming's Company, Seventh Virginia of Foot, commanded by Col. Alexander McClenarhan. The Virginia Regiments being often decimated and combined, Edward Pedigo was soon in Captain Henry Young's Company of the Third and Seventh Regiment, and later in the Fifth and Eleventh Regiment. Certain of his muster rolls have much historic interest, showing him near Washington's headquarters at Valley Forge, and Morris town, and with the troops aiding D'Estaining's fleet at Savannah. The muster roll for Dec. 1778 (dated 13 Jan. 1779) tells of his re-enlistment for the duration of the war. His last muster roll is dated Camp near Morris town, 9 Dec. 1779. "But this fails to show his later services, which are proved by his military land warrant of 12 Jan. 1784, reciting service 3 years, soldier Virginia Line." (Old Kentucky Entries and Deeds, Jillson, p. 354.) During the French and Indian Wars he served in the Halifax County VA Militia under Col. Abraham Maury......." [ Information provided by Nancy Martin Knight, Chana, IL] Edward PERIGORD fought in the French and Indian War, and was with Washington at Fort Duquesne, July, 1775, the scene of General Braddock's defeat, he being one of thirty Virginians who left the battlefield.
