I've got a possible brother or cousin to Thomas, but though I've had queries before, no one's had any further data: Bernard Edwards was born 1785 in Lynchburg, VA, possibly the son of William and Patsy (Glover) Edwards. He settled in Todd Co in 1808 and about that time married Martha Coleman. They had the following children: 2 i. William M., married Dorothy G. Davenport 3 ii. Mary Ann, married Garrard Cherry 4 iii. Gillie G. (-1845), married John L. ATKINS 5 iv. Booker Bernard, married Martha Wooldridge 6 v. Louisa Fontaine (1825-1899), married George L. Young 7 vi. Peyton G. (1827->1900), married Mary R. Graham Gillie and John L. had Henrietta and Melvina Atkins. The parents of Bernard came from a researcher who wasn't in the direct line and had no primary source or siblings, so that's all I know.
