    Hello & thanks for your reply: Full name is DANIEL COLEMAN EDWARDS, b. abt 1750 in VA. Ancestry.Com always show birth as being in Bedford Co but I find no proof. He was supposely the son of WILLIAM EDWARDS & Grizzel Coleman, dau. of Daniel & PATIENCE ELLIOTT. DC's will was probated in Cumberland Co [Southam Par] 22 Jan 1770 & refers to his dau. Grizzel as Grizzel Edwards. Patience's will was probated 26 Aug 1771, Southam Par, Cumberland Co. per "Abstracts of Cumberland Co, VA Will Books 1 & 2, pp. 43 & 47.I went to Cumberland Ct House & searched for Daniel but found only William.In Pittsylvania Co. I found a copy of an Indenture in Deed Book 11, pp 246-247 dated 15 Feb 1798 whereby Bennett sold to DANIEL C. EDWARDS OF THE COUNTY OF BEDFORD. Proving his residence prior to that date was Bedford Co & then became resident of PittsCo. In another deed dated 15 Sep 1820 Daniel's full name is used [DCE].In "Marriages & Deaths From Lynchburg, VA Newspapers 1794-1836 sponsored by Randall Holt Chapter, NSD of the American Colonists, p. 180 has a brief obit & from there I found a complete copy of same: MR. EDWARDS WAS A SOLDIER IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR...Obit has a title ANOTHER REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER GONE. That statement is not enough to prove his service as I submitted DCE DAR last year & was told that I needed more proof. He has never been submitted before.If I had to guess, I would guess that he lived in BedCo during the War years... so far, no proof. No Oath taken in PittsCo. but I cannot find any such list for Bedford. I queried PittsCo Historical Society, nothing there in the way of anything!So: if DCE's parents are in fact Wm. & Grizzel, why was he born in Bedford Co. & lived there for a good part of his adult life? He is not to be found in Maude Carter Clement's book, nor in the 1777 Oaths list of PittsCo, nor VAs Colonial Soldiers nor VA Military Records but for one DANIEL EDWARDS who was paid along with others for work on the fort at York Towne, p. 464. DAR replied that he would not have traveled to York Towne just to help build a fort. Someone once suspected he had been in the 14th or 15th VA Reg. No proof yet.Do I know too much! Also know he did not give food, animals tot he War effort in any of the 3 counties.ThanksPJ- Original Message ----- From: "marsha moses" <[log in to unmask]>To: <[log in to unmask]>Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2011 9:11 AMSubject: Re: [VA-ROOTS] Pittsylvania & Bedford Co, VA.

    William Edwards 1720-1784 married Grissel Coleman in 1750 Cumberland Co., VA. Grissel Coleman 1725-1788 has long been confused with her aunt Grissel Coleman 1705-1759 who died in Goochland Co., VA. The 1782 Cumberland Co., VA tax list has William Edwards as head of household, however in 1784 Grissel Edwards is listed as Head of Household, and the Estate Inventory of William Edwards deceased was filed in the Jan 1786 Cumberland Co., VA court.

    Notes:

    Maj. Lewis Burwell II
    Hon. Lewis Burwell (1652-~1710) was the son of Maj. Lewis Burwell and Lucy Higginson, born circa 1652. He was married twice, first to Abigail Smith (11 Mar 1656/57 - 12 Nov 1692, cousin of Nathaniel Bacon), daughter of Anthony Smith and Martha Bacon, 1672 at Gloucester Co., Virginia and second to Martha Lear, daughter of Col. John Lear.He resided at King's Creek, York Co., Virginia. He resided at Carter's Creek, Gloucester Co., Virginia. He was a governor of the College of William and Mary in 1702. He was a member of Council between 1702 and 1711 at Virginia. he died circa 1710. He is the namesake of "Burwell's Bay" in Isle of Wight County This bay was originally called Warascoyack Bay until he acquired significant land upon its shores.

    The Burwells (known as the Burls among Virginians) were among the First Families of Virginia in the Colony of Virginia. John Quincy Adams once described the Burwells as typical Virginia aristocrats of their period: forthright, bland, somewhat imperious and politically simplistic by Adams' standards. In 1713, so many Burwells had intermarried with the Virginia political elite that Governor Spotswood complained that " the greater part of the present Council are related to the Family of Burwells...there will be no less than seven so near related that they will go off the Bench whenever a Cause of the Burwells come to be tried." The Family was closely associated with the Fairfield Plantation, Gloucester County, Virginia, but several Burwells also built other famous Virginia plantations. Lewis Burwell III built the Kingsmill Plantation's manor house beginning in the 1730s. A few years later, Carter Burwell built Carter's Grove immediately to the east in what became the modern day Grove Community. Several place names such as Burwell's Bay in Isle of Wight County, Virginia are named after the Burwells. Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller, (aka Chesty Puller) is a war hero (from West Point, Virginia) takes his name from three generations of Lewis Burwells who had a large influence on early Virginia. The Burwell family of Virginia originally came from England – Bedfordshire. Their early history is not completely known but by 1607, they were living in Harlington, Bedfordshire, at Harlington House – now known as Harlington Manor.

    Lewis Burwell 1621-1653

    Lewis Burwell 1621-1653

    Lewis Burwell was born to Edward and Dorothy (Bedell)Burwell in Harlington,
    County Bedford, England. His mother's brothers,Gabriell and John Bedell, were
    members of the Virginia Company and came toJamestown with the Second Supply in
    1608.

    After the death of his father, his mother had marriedRoger Wingate. In October
    1633 Wingate and Edward Kingswell arrived inJamestown aboard the ship Mayflower
    with a plan to create a settlement inCarolina. Finding that their promised
    transportation to Carolina was notyet available, they remained at Jamestown
    through the winter until early springwhen they decided to give up the project.
    In March Wingate left with hisfamily and returned to England and Kingswell
    followed in June. They shouldhave been more patient, for the promised ship
    arrived in July.

    Lewis Burwell arrived at Jamestown about 1640 - a timewhen the original first
    generation had failed to carry their leadership over tothe next generation. The
    new immigration of 1640, of which Burwell and hisbrothers were a part would give
    to Virginia the progenitors of her greateighteenth-century families.

    Roger Wingate, Burwell's stepfather, was the residuarylegatee of the land for
    which his now deceased partner, Kingwell, had claimed bythe headright system.
    Wingate did not immediately claim the land to whichhe was entitled until the
    spring of 1648. 2300 acres were granted jointlyto Burwell and Thomas Vause on
    the "lower part in Yorke River about 7 miles upthe Narrow on the South side
    thereof". In the summer of the same yearBurwell claimed the headrights he
    inherited form his stepfather, he received2350 acres "lying upon the North Side
    of York River up Rosewell Creek on theSouthward side thereof" for the
    transportation of forty-seven persons. This was the largest patent issued in
    1648.

    Nevertheless, the estate could not have been so large asto have guaranteed
    Burwell and his descendants a position ofundisputed eminence in the colony.
    But while everything did notproceed smoothly, he appears to have been a hard
    worker who devoted much of hisefforts to the acquisition of land. His
    landholdings expandedrapidly, and in 1650, for the transportation of thirty-two
    persons, he received1600 acres in Northumberland County "upon the South side of
    Potomeck River andEast side of Machotick River". The next day he was alloted
    500 acres -this time on the "South side of Potomeck River upon West side of
    NomenyRiver". Two years later, in October, 200 acres "100 acres of which
    lyeswithin the Pallisade at the Middle plantation...the other with out
    thePallisade" were granted to "Major Lewis Burwell and Lucy, his wife".

    When he died in 1653, he had been in Virginia for lessthan fifteen years.

    Lewis married Abigail Bacon Smith on 4 Mar 1674 in , Gloucester, Virginia, USA. Abigail (daughter of Anthony Smith and Martha Bacon) was born on 11 Mar 1656 in Colchester, Essex, England; died on 12 Nov 1692 in Abingdon, Gloucester, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
