My line, as I was told, is Virginia Jane Edwards who married Reuben Mitchell in Benton County, Tennessee. was the daughter of Laban Edwards b. ? married twice, last to a Sally ?. I was told he died in Benton county, Tenn. His children were Sallie, William, Meridth {Jack}, Rebecca and Virginia Jane. I was told Laban was the son of Jacob Edwards b. 1729 in Wales. Who was the son of Thomas Edwards and Isabel Downing who were married in Wales. Also Jacob was the brother of Robert Edwards who bought a track of land in New York and leased it out for 99 yrs. I think the story of The Edwards Estate is interesting, but, I only want to link my Family together nomatter how poor or rich the were supposto be. If anyone can help me find if Jacob had a son named Laban, {who was also in McLinbury County, North Carolina before coming to Tennessee}. If not, does anyone know how he links to Jacob? Thank you so Much for your help. Georgia
