General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Edwards


The family name "Edwards" is found in early days, not only in New England, but in Virginia, in old King William and Stafford counties. The Stafford county family later settled in Kentucky, where a descendant married Elizabeth, daughter of Robert E. Todd and sister of Mrs. Abraham Lincoln. Another descendant of Hayden Edwards, the Stafford county, Virginia, settler, was Benjamin Edwards, of Montgomery county, Maryland. Another Edwards family was of Louisa county, Virginia. John was a common name in these Virginia Edwards families and there is no doubt but what John Edwards, of Preston county, Virginia, was a descendant of one of them, but no record record can be found by which he can be definitely traced. 1
