Cousin Levi is clearly the tallest Edds toddler. Sure, he has a 16 month age advantage, but like Trey Davey, Levi has always measured in the top 5 percentile in height for his age group. Benji generally ranks in the top 15%. Uncle Steve at 6’6” and Daddy Dave at 6’1” measure the tallest and shortest in their Edds men generation. They have five other male cousins’ whose heights ranged in-between theirs. Granddaddy Edds’ male generation is tall also. Brothers Hugh David, Gene Ray and Richard all stand between 6’2” and 6’3” tall. Some say their father, Great-Granddaddy Bertie Edds, was the tallest man in McLean County, Kentucky. He reportedly stood between 6’3” and 6’5” tall, but there is no supporting documentation. Genetically speaking, I’d say the probability of these three boys beating the national average male height of 5’10” is pretty good, if not a given.
