    1. [GAWALKER] Descendants of Ruel Edwards
    2. Paul Vance
    3. Ruel Edwards was one of the Fortunate Drawers in the county that became Walker. He had one of the first mills in the county and was alive in 1880. He drew land while living in Henry Co. and is listed there in the 1830 census. Here is my interest. Living next to him in 1830 was a William Morgan and his wife Rebecca, who moved to Dade Co. GA. While in Henry Co. the Morgans had a son which they named Ruel Morgan. This is such an unusual name I believe there might have been a family connection. Ruel Edwards named a daughter Rebecca. These are three coincidences that point to a family relationship. 1.) Morgans in Edwards were neighbors in Henry Co. in 1830 2.) William and Rebecca named a son Ruel, a very unusual name. (By the way, Morganville in Dade Co. was named for this Ruel Morgan 3.) Ruel Edwards named a daughter Rebecca. Any connections, guesses or advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Paul R. L.
