I believe that either the Nicholas Edwards (b. 1794) in Rutherford County (census index 1810) or the Nicholas Edwards Sr (also Rutherford County census index 1810) was my ancestor, and was the person who married Susannah Howell (Howe) in 1809; and that they lived there until after the birth of four of their children: Eliza, Clarissa, George, and Eldridge, before moving to Washington County, IL where he died (about 1818). I am trying to learn anything I can about these people before their arrival in Te
Hi, I am new to this list and also new to Genealogy so please forgive me if
I appear to ask dumb questions.
I am looking for birth/baptism details of my gg grandfather, Edward
(Sackville) Edwards born c1814-1817 London, England. He did not always use
middle name. Parents: William (Vet - as in Veterinary Surgon?) Mother Alice
Edmead ? (difficult to read from photocopy 1870 marriage records). Came to
Australia c1837 -no details. First wife?? Sarah Ann (could be Ward) 6
children Amelia, Harriet, Esther, Georg
I'm also chasing Edwards from NJ ---- and I think they were there in the
1700s until the about 1830, or so. My gggrandparents were Ira and Phoebe
Gildersleeve Edwards. They were both born in about 1803 --- in Essex,
NJ???. He died in Onondaga NY in 1863, and she died in Michigan in 1868.
>From their days in Onondaga, the family is fairly well established. A
family tree from the 1920s lists his father as one John Edwards, also the
son of John Edwards. If any of this sounds at all familiar, I'd be happy to

Hi John,
I've spent a good bit of time trying to untangle all the Shamokin/Mount
Carmel area EDWARDSes, but I can't find anything on this guy. You don't say
how John P. is connected to you, so I don't know what info you can easily
find by a phone call to a relative. But because of the time period in which
he lived, I would suggest the following right off the bat:
~ order his death certificate ($3 or $4) to get his parents' names and his
birthplace
~ get his obituary for names of siblings and other deta

Dear Debbie,
Looking at the Muhlenberg and Hopkins Co. references, I can't help but
believe your Edwards family is related to the Edwards family I keep trying
to find from Christian Co. I have a Martha Jane Edwards who m. John Fleming
in 1774 in Christian Co. All I have found thus far is that there was a
William Edwards in Christian Co. as far back as the 1799. I am almost
positive that this Edwards family came from the Thomas Edwards line who
married Isabelle E. Downing . Several of them went to Kentuc
I'm still looking for any info on Leah Edwards, born 1877 in Didsbury,
Manchester, England, or any link to that line.
Leah was a glassblower. She married Robert Snelson, around 1900. Leah had
several children in Prestwich/Manchester: Mary, Fred, Robert b 1903, Dora b
1910, Winnie, Barbara and Clifford.
Fred and Robert both married women named Hilda. Cliff married a woman named
Mabel.
The Snelsons settled in Brockville in the 1920s or 1930s.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
