Randolph,
Wow, it's been a long time since I have done anything on this family. My father's grandmother was Sarah Ann Bracken her mother was an Edawrds and she lived in Alabama. I never continued my research on this family as I didn't have very many dates to go by on the various members of the family. I guess one day I will get to it. The story in our family for years has been that we are related to the Famous "Edwards" family that has for many years tried to re-claim ownership of part of what is now Manhatten Island. One of my great, great Aunts started this research in the 1940's. Once her lawyer got close to having proof of our relationship to this family he was mysteriously killed. It was not until after her death that the rest of the family was able to obtain the lineage. However, there are not dates to prove anything, only names.
Sorry I can't be of help. If you are related to the Edwards, you might still be able to find some of the postings on this site relating to that particular story, even if you aren't, it makes for some interesting reading! Do a search for "Edwards Heirs" on this site.
