I was in the NC State Library doing some research yesterday, and I found
the following Edwards entries in Chatham Co, NC. This is certainly not
all Edwards entries, just the Ambrose entries in which I was
interested.

Does anyone else have any connection to either Edward or Ambrose Edwards
in Chatham Co, NC circa 1770-1790?
