Hello again
Several people wrote to ask if I would send a text file of the Early Edwards
section instead of a FTW or GED. Here it is. If you still want the FTW or
GED of this, then let me know.

WARNING!! This Early Edwards info was (according to my deceased uncle Bill)
apparently what was distributed by an Heirs Association, to see if any
Edwards could make a connection. If a connection could be made, they could
join with the Association (at a price, apparently) in the quest for the
inheritance. If this was a hoax, much of this information could be FALSE.
*Please* don't add it to your family history as anything other than hoax
detail, without checking it out!

Check out this website: It is 20 generations of an Edwards family, and the
hoax descendancy involves some of them (page 1, in the 11th, 12th and 13th
generations).
