Surnames: Edwards Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JU.2ADI/581.1.1 Message Board Post: Jeff, I don't know if James Edwards was ever in Marengo County. I only know that other Edwards family members lived in Oglethorpe Co., Georgia and Perry Co., Alabama. I do know that James was living in Louisiana by 1848 when he got married. He would have been about 22 years old in 1846. The name James Edwards is so common that I am having a hard time with research. I will look around in Marengo County. Thanks for the clue. Anything is possible.
