Here's old great grandfather John W. Robinson again with more information on my 3GGrandfather, Thomas J. Edwards. I examined the 1830 Sumner County census and found family no. 1959 listed as Thomas J. Edwards. The number & ages of both males & females match exactly the names and ages listed by my grandmother, Mary Rice in 1926. She was their great grandaughter. Further, Priscilla's father, Nathan Edwards is listed just above them as family no. 1957.
