David Crawford Edmiston
March 2, 1825 – January 8, 1903
A native of Arkansas, David C. Edmiston came to Texas with his family in 1835. As a young man David served with a frontier defense unit of the Texas Rangers. He later served as a Ranger in the Mexican War and was a soldier in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Married to the former Rhoda Bowen in 1856, he was the father of eleven children. His Webberville farmstead remains as a visible reminder of the area’s heritage.
Marker can be reached from the intersection of Webberwood Way and Sandy Brown Lane.
