    Notes:

    Edwards of Northampton

    JOHN EDWARDS, GENTLEMAN
    Born in 1727 in Wales, sixth son of Sir Thomas Edwards, Baron, he came to
    America at about 23 years of age. One can only guess at his reason for coming.
    Religious oppression, political pressure, the excitement and thrill of high adventure, or more possibly the lack of opportunity for self-expression under the common practice of inheritance by the oldest son may have motivated him.

    There is little doubt that his kinsmen had preceded him over a period of more than a hundred years and were firmly established in the New World. He would have had no particular reason to come to, Northampton County unless there had been communication with family connections. At this time the influx of settlers was greater in the New York and Pennsylvania area than in the Carolinas and Virginia. A flood of emigrants was pouring into the country. The Edwards name appeared from New England to South Carolina and into Georgia. Dr. Lawrence Edwards, in his book "Old Speedwell Families", traces his family to William Edwards (1720-1808), son of Thomas. Very possibly he was of our family - brother of John. We do, not know how many, other than the three in our records, of these brothers came to America. His William Edwards came through the valley of Virginia across the mountains into Tennessee. There is little doubt that historians are correct in tracing another William, son of John - one of the four
    brothers - to Kentucky where many prominent public servants originated, including the Governor of Illinois in 1826. It is most probable that the Edwards' of Isle of Wight, Southampton and Surry counties in Virginia and Bertie and Northampton counties in North Carolina were closely related.

    When John Edwards came to Northampton the Tidewater was thickly settled.
    Colonists had pushed westward to the mountains. The rights of the Eight Proprietors, to whom King Charles II had granted the territory from about Cape Kennedy to the Virginia line and westward to the "south seas" in 1633, had been reclaimed by King Goerge II with the exception of the one-eighth interest held by John Carteret, Earl of Granville. He would not sell to the Crown and still held title to a huge area along the Virginia-North Carolina line that was laid off in 1744 as his portion. Titles to land in Eastern North Carolina then were by deeds known as "Granville Grants", continued by him and his succeeding son Robert up until they lost their rights by reason of the American Revolution. In 1750 the New World was firmly held by the British as Royal Colonies.

    It was still a raw land. There were practically no roads in the interior
    and travel was by horseback where there were no navigable streams. Emigrants had never seen such a land before, much less hope to own a part of it, and they took up all the land they could get, clearing it as they could. By 1750 the most desirable land had changed hands several times. Away from the settlements on the Coast and in Eastern Virginia, schools were nonexistent. There was by then some wealth in North Carolina but it was far from being a place of fine homes and leisurely living. Another John Edwards, Clerk of Northampton Court, reported in 1754 that there were 902 white taxables (heads of families)and 837 blacks in the county. The now growing population and difficulty of travel made it expedient to form Northampton County from Bertie in 1741. This was the land
    that John Edwards found on his arrival.

    Traces of John Edwards, our ancestor, are limited. He married about the
    time he bought property in 1752 - we do not know his wife's name. The family picked up the name "Elizabeth" from old deeds, but we cannot be sure. He had a son named Samuel Edwards. John's wife died and he was also in ill health, possibly from the swampy, low lying nature of his property, and he returned to England. He must have expected to return for he did not dispose of his real property. He did not return, however, but died - date unknown. His deed to the 167 acre farm, recorded in Book 2 page 47, was dated 30 April 1752. He paid thirty pounds for it in "current money of the Colony of Virginia", the accepted currency at that time. It is a long and flowery document, evidently prepared by a lawyer, and recited the title as having been by grant to John Godley on 2 Aug. 1729, sold by him to Daniel O'Quinn, who sold it to Isaac Hunter in Nov. 1741. His son Theophilus Hunter inherited it from him and sold it to "John Edwards,
    Gentleman".

    He was further identified on 11 Nov. 1755 as "John Edwards, Gentleman" when he proved the signature on a will. No other record of him is identifiable except for the written word of his heirs. Information about his marriage, his son Samuel and his return to England is from his grandchildren.

    Whether or not he bought and sold other property is confused by the fact that there were at least three other "John Edwards' " in Northampton at the same time. His identity is established by the fact that his son Samuel returned to Northhampton and made his home on the property described in the deed, willing it along with other property he acquired to his heirs. Others of the same name left record of their heirs and there is no confusion between them.

    What construction can be placed on the fact that the term "Gentleman" was
    applied to him, absent in reference to the others of the same name, is an interesting conjecture. His father held a title, but John had little hope of inheriting it as a sixth son. Generally it appears to have had reference to one of considerable means who did not find it necessary to work with his hands. Samuel, his son, returned to America with sufficient funds to purchase considerable property, although only a boy. He could only have acquired it at his age by inheritance. This would picture John Edwards as a young man of
    prestige and means whose health prevented him from becoming a part of the developing Nation.

    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.
