I'm also working on the Edwards family. There were three or four different sets of Edwards's in Holmes Co. My oldest known Edwards was my Great-Great-Grandfather who was born in GA, lived in Tallapoosa Co., AL. I don't know what happened to him. His wife Caroline and children came to Scott Co., MS before the 1860 census, then on to Yazoo Co. before the 1870 census. My grandfather, Arthur Edwards, Sr and my father, Arthur Edwards, Jr. all lived in Ebenezer. Does anyone out there have any information on this family? I'll be happy to share. B.
