Is anyone out there descended from or have an interest in the family of Jay Edwards of Des Moines, Polk County? He was born in Iowa in 1857. Parents were Hiram EDWARDS and Margaret "Maggie" Jane Smith. (I have names of many of their ancestors if anyone is interested.) I'm trying to locate descendants of Jay and his wife, Bessie (Mullin) Edwards. They had daughters Thelma, Dorothy, and Doris, born 1921, 1924, and 1925, and a son who was called "Junior." Jay and my dad were cousins and used to hunt together. They must have descendants and some of them may be interested in genealogy? Would love to share information about the MILLER and SMITH side of the family and maybe fill in some gaps in the family tree. Who did the girls marry? What about "Junior"? Bessie had been married before and had a daughter named Irene Hayes who was a little older than the Edwards children. Jeanne SURBER
