Hi Kathy and Pat,
My grandfather was Norval Ralph EDWARDS, b 1846 IN d 1909 IA. His father was Abel EDWARDS, b 1810 NC d 1895 IA. Abel's spouse was Lucy BENNETT. Lucy's parents were married in 1814 Stokes Co, NC. These families and several others migrated to Monroe Co, IN in the late 1820's - early 1830's. In about 1852, Abel and several other families migrated again, to the Lucas-Warren-Clarke tri-county area of Iowa.
Could my Abel be the brother of Squire that you mentioned? Or
was that Abel only a 'possible sibling' that later was retracted.?
I have no info on Abel's siblings or ancestors. Abel's name "may have been Joseph Abel." His father's name "may have been Joseph." A Nancy EDWARDS had a patent dated 1841, for land next to Abel in Monroe Co, IN. She could have been his oldest child, b 1835, but I have doubts. There were several other EDWARDS families in that area that were probably related.
There was also Nancy EDWARDS, m Joseph PENNINGTON in 1827, IN, and I think the same one was living near Abel in 1850 census. I'm guessing that this was Abel's sister. Or close cousin. Strictly a guess. This family [at least some of the children] also went to Lucas Co, Iowa.
One of Norval's brothers [Abel's son] was Edward Hanagan EDWARDS, b 1849 IN, d 1931 IA. Edward Hanagan had a son Edward Hannigan EDWARDS b1886 IA.
Was the "H" for 'Hanagan/Hannigan' in any of the "Edward H." 's of yours? Could these have come from the same 'root' as mine? The appearance of all the Edward H.'s in these lines makes me think they are related somewhere back there.
Any info on the family and/or ancestors of my Abel would be greatly appreciated. Even a hint would be great.
Email me directly if you wish.
Thanks.
Ralph EDWARDS
