Hello Frank, Sorry it's taken me so long to answer. We've had some health issues to deal with & will be for the next month or so. So, I've not been on line all that much here of late! From my end, I have no idea if any of my ancestor's were in the areas you mention. None of my lines were in Anson county in so far as I am aware. In all probability if your Edwards were in close proximity to my Edwards, they are probably connected. Just that I can't tell you through whom! I don't have my map of NC in front of me with the counties to say for sure! So, is conjecture on my part. Sorry, I couldn't help! Perhaps Katherine can be of help? Happy Hunting!

I'm trying to get back beyond a William Edwards (1782-1852) who supposedly was born in Anson County, NC. and migrated to MS around 1840. He married (1) Jane Everett (1804-1826) and then Sarah Lockhart (abt 1810-1862). With Jane he had one child, William Everett Edwards (1826-1890) and with Sarah he had 8 children. If any of this resonates with you, let's communicate. Frank Edwards, Fairfield Glade, TN; [email protected]
