Edmund was a Rev. War Soldier
Edmund Bearden was one of the first preachers that settled in the present territory of Little River Association. He was an ordained preacher in a church on Reedy river, in Greenville District, S.C., as early as 1790. Soon after this date, he moved to what is now Caldwell County Ky., and settled near the present site of Princeton. He appears to have been active in preaching among the settlers in a large area of territory. With the aid of Reuben Roland and Daniel Brown, he constituted Eddy Grove church, near his home, in 1799. In 1805 he, with the aid of Daniel Brown and Robert Smith, constituted Salem church in Livingston county. These two churches became the mothers of a numerous offspring.
