Sherri, I find your post most interesting. And I am VERY interested in the original EDWARD and father WILLIAM. First of all, I have a question for you, or anyone else out there that might have an answer. Have you ever found any evidence that there were 2 separate EDWARDs, one in Washington Co. VA and one in what became Russell Co. VA?? I have tracked Edward down the western side of Virginia, which was all Augusta Co. at one time so William could have died anywhere out there and still have died in Augusta Co.... But, I have never found evidence of 2 Edwards... However, to be perfectly honest, I haven't thoroughly researched Washington Co. for proof that Edward and Agnes were there while a second Edward was in Russell Co. (I would have to check the earliest I have him in the area that became Russell, think it was 1787). Anyway, the Edward of Washington/Russell had close connections with MY Farrises and ended up in TN via Lincoln Co. KY. I, personally, believe there was only one Edward but I can't prove it. I would be very interested in comparing notes and I have some addresses of other of Edward and Agnes's descendants if you would be interested. Sandy McIntire, Cedar Rapids, IA
