I see no Nicholas as son of Benjamin all I have on that is Benjamin
EDWARDS, born 1752 and married Margaret, d/o Ninian BEALL of Mongomery
Co., MD. He died 1826.
Father of Benjamin was Haden EDWARDS married Penelope SANFORD, grand-
daugher of Sir Humphrey SANFORD of Eng. Haden was a lawyer, and was
several times a member of the VA legislature. Moved to KY in 1785.
He died Paris, KY 13 July 1803. (I have list of the children).
Father of Haden was William EDWARDS married Mary Hayden (Haden).
This is all I have.
