    • 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.
