Edgett Genealogy

Genealogy

The following is an extraction of my family tree showing 5 generations of decendents of Joel EDGETT (b 1740). I have also added place holders for my Grandfather (6th generation), my father (7th) and myself (8th). Information for the three of us is restricted for confidentiality.

Joel EDGETT and his two sons came to New York as British Empire Loyalists. They latter took land and settled Edgett's Landing in the coast of New Brunswick on the Bay of Fundy. Several years back I drove through New Brunswick and found the street sign depicting where the village of Edgett's landing used to be. I am still attempting to trace back further then Joel EDGETT. I have found references to a changes of name from ADGET or ADJET or ADSIT to EDGETT. I have also found the following possible lineage:


  • Parents of Joel Edgett: George ADSIT/ADGET/EDGETT, m. Ann AVERY (No Dates)
  • I am not sure about these:
  • Parents of George ADGET: John ADJET/EDGETT, m. to Mindwell WEBB (No Dates)
  • or
  • Parents of George ADSIT/EDGET: John ADSIT, m. Sarah HOWARD (1686)

If anyone has found information linking Joel Edgett to any previous generations of EDGETT / ADGET / ADJET I would certainly love to hear from them.
