Notes:

At the time of the 1900 Sabine County, Texas census, he lived with his Aunt Martha Oliver Meador and her husband. He was shown as age 23, and appears to have been married to a 22 year old Anna M, born in Texas. Eddie was incorrectly listed as a brother-in-law of James Meador. His parents lived next door. In 1920, he and Anna were living next door to Martha and James Meador.

Edward married Martha Joanna "Anna" Mitchell before 1900. Martha (daughter of Joe Mitchell and Susan "Sue" Priscilla Drawhorn) was born on 17 Nov 1877 in Texas; died on 27 Jul 1971 in San Augustine County, Texas; was buried in Myrtle Springs Cemetery, Geneva, Sabine County, Texas.
