Simmin A. Eddins, son.
Blakely A. Eddins, father.
James A. Eddins, grandfather.
All have the middle initial "A." But what does it stand for? The only one we know for sure is Simmin. It's Simmin Aaron Eddins/Edins. The other men's middle names are a mystery.
We know for sure that Blakely's middle intial is "A" because it's on his grave marker. (Thanks, Cuz, for the confirmation.) But what it stands for? Could be "Aaron," just like his son's. But no clues and no proof.
There are several theories as to what the "A" in James A. Eddins stands for. Linda Robertson says that it stands for "Allen." (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~everyoneged/ourancestry.html#John%20Eddins) My dear cuz thinks that it could stand for "Aaron," just like Simmon. My own theory is that it stands for "Albert" or "Albertus" for a Hendrix/Hendricks/Hendrex ancestor.
Anybody have any proof?
Next:
It's a challenge to look for Eddins relatives because the name has been spelled so many ways. For example:
Eddins
Edins
Edens
Eddings
Edings
Edinger
Don't get me started on the Hendrixes:
Hendrix
Hendricks
Hendrickx
Hendrex
Hendrick
Headon
