Posted on: Talbot County, Ga Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ga/Talbot/10679 Surname: EDWARDS, CHAMBLESS ------------------------- My family decended from Christopher Columbus Chambless brother-- Jepthea Chambless Jr. The Chambless had a large plantation in Talbot 1840-60. The Edwards were neighbors and three of their children married Edwards. Amanda (m) Christopher Columbus, Jepthea (m) Sarah Ann,and Arte Ann (m) Ambrose J.Edwards. John and Mary "Polly" Oliver Edwards were the parnets of the children Amanda, Newton, Sarah Ann, Ambrose J.Edwards. There may have been more but I don't have that infomation. John's father was William Newton (b)abt 1775 (d)abt 1855, his mother was Mary Whatley (b)1776. I have lots of infomation on the Chambless ancestors and decendents but have not researched the Edwards because another relative has already done it and is going to share whevever we can get together. Hope this is helpful. Jimmie Chambless
