Edgewood was part of the original Bisland estate of Mount Repose and is now in the Pine Ridge community. It was likely the last large mansion constructed prior to the Civil War.

A Pennsylvania native, Samuel H. Lambdin (1811-?) and Jane Bisland Lambdin built the home. They wed in 1842. He had worked on steamboats for several years before becoming commander of The Ohioan which ran between Louisville, St. Louis and New Orleans. In 1835, he moved to Natchez and in a couple years, became principal in a plantation supply store, Lambdin and Bennett. After marriage, Lambdin joined the management of his in-law's Mount Repose. In the 1850s, he was a member of the board of Jefferson College.  

In 1940, S. H. Lamdin, a descendant, owned the place. 

Richard A. Campbell (1920-1998) and Alma Dale Campbell (1919-2018) owned the home in 1979. The property still had 90 acres. Campbell was an investor in Delta Security Bank. NR 1979 See Mount Repose and Mistletoe
