I'm not related. Just did some lookups for you in some Wilson Co. TN genealogy books I own. Found the following for the names you mention but have no way of knowing if they are the specific individuals you are looking for. 1. From the book, "Index to Wilson Co. TN Wills and Administrations" (don't know if the following are the John and William you are looking for) John Edwards had records in Probate in 1833 William Edwards had records in Probate in 1834 NOTE - there is no Edwards Will listed prior to 1820, i. e. a husband of Nancy 2. From the book, "1830 Census of Middle TN" WILSON CO. TN Page 80 John Edwards Males 01310001 Females 0000001 Page 85 Aaron Edwards Males 01113001 Females 10001001 Page 86 John Edwards Males 1200001 Females 100001 Page 91 John Edwards Males 10111001 Females 1001101 Page 131 William Edwards Males 1000001 Females 03223 3. From the book, "People of Wilson Co. TN, 1800-1899", by Thomas Partlow Chapter titled, "County Court Judgments 1809-1819" William Edwards charged Samuel Alsup with trespass and false imprisonment Recorded 1815 4. The book, "Marriages of Wilson Co. TN, 1802-1861", by Edythe Rucker Whitley, lists dozens of Edwards marriages. However there is only 1 Edward groom prior to 1820 for the names you inquired about. John Edwards married Mary Richmond January 28, 1819 with Bradford Howard as bondsman. After 1820 there is a Nancy Edwards marriage listed Nancy Edwards married Isaac Paynter March 13, 1823 Hope something helps. Kathleen in CA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joyce G.
