Elisha Edge, a prominent old resident of Stockton, is a native of 
Warren County, Tenn., where he was born in 1817.  His father, 
Henry Edge, was born in Maryland, in 1781, and when a young man 
went to Kentucky, where he met and married Miss Hannah Stockstill, 
who was born in North Carolina, in 1793, and afterward moved to 
Tennessee, and in 1837 to Dade County, Mo.  He was a soldier in the 
War of 1812, and was a hard working tiller of the soil all his life.  
He died in Dade County, Mo., in 1867, preceded by his wife in 1863.  
They were the parents of thirteen children, Elisha being the sixth

of age, and on the 30th of January, 1839, was married to Miss Harriet 
Denby, who was born in Warren County, Mo., in 1820. Sophronia, wife

Killingsworth; Eliza, wife of Giles Holman; Mary, wife of B. L.

to Missouri, and, in 1841, located in Cedar County, settling in 1866 
where he now lives.  On first coming to this State, he was obliged to 
go thirty miles to mill.  He is one of the oldest residents of the
