    • In the 1770's Colonel William Edmondson and several of his sons answeredthe
      call for volunteers at King's Mountain. Three sons were killed and onewounded
      in this battle, which Historians call the turning point of theRevoluntionary
      War. Colonel Edmondson received 2000 acres in Washington County, VA, forhis
      service in the French and Indian War. Fincastle County records mentionthe
      location of the 2000 acres as being on the Holston River. -from Isla
