Barack OBAMA, 44th President of the United States
descendant of Johann Pieter STRAUB, 1733 immigrant to Philadelphia, PA
"We are and always will be the United States of America." (4 Nov 2008, Grant Park, Chicago, IL)
James EDMUNDS
Eleanor BROWN
Husband:  James EDMUNDS / EDMONDS
Birth:  25 Dec 1785, Providence, Providence Co., RI
Death:  25 Oct 1855, Orange, Noble Co., IN
Father:  William EDMUNDS (1757-1837) — James4, James3, William2, Andrew1

Death:  12 Mar 1860, Orange, Noble Co., IN
Other Spouse:  m1. by 1800, Mr. DRURY / DREWRY

The fact that Eleanor is older than James and that she is not living with her mother in the 1800 census both support that she did, indeed, have a prior husband.  There are no DREWRYs in Cheshire Co. in the 1800 census, but there are some DRURYs.
