I noticed that Matilda was 10 years old and born in TN, so checked the 1860 Census index of TN and found this family. Now its just an index, so don't have all the info: F. H. Edwards, age 28 Mary C. age 27 William A. age 4 John M. age 2 Adlia M, age 1 they were listed O-1-93 and I believe that is Obion County, family #1, page 93 With that in mind I checked the marriage books and found Franklin H. Edwards married Mary Elizabeth Wright on 12-7-1853 in Obion County, TN From the different census records Mary is Mary C, Mary E. and Mary B. which could be errors in reading the old handwriting. But if this all fits it is Mary Elizabeth. Happy Hunting! Jean in Tennessee, with Lashlee connections in Jackson Co.
