I'm looking for information on my grandfather, Thomas Edwards, who was born at Edwards Hall, Cardiff, Glamorganshire on 14 October, 1690. He married Elizabeth Downing of Glamorganshire on 12 March, 1714. Thomas Edwards' fathers name was John, and I think he was born abt.1664. Thomas and Elizabeth had a son named John who immigrated to Virginia, USA. Any information on these people, or on Edwards Hall itself, would be appreciated! Thanks.

I am trying to help people in the USA find Edwards Hall, I should think they must be descended from John who went to USA. Would like to invite you to a "My Family" site so you can exchange family research with the USA side of the Edwards family.

Thanks. I have researched and provided the documentation for the DAR, now I am interested if we arrived before the 1700. I've read Edwards Hall used to be castle but doesn't exist anymore????
-
Hello :)
According to a Glamorgan Record Office leaflet on the Edwards Millions, "even the very existence of an Edwards Hall near Cardiff has yet to be established"
http://www.glamro.gov.uk/adobe/edwards.pdf
so although it may have existed, the Glamorgan Record Office have no documents relating to Edwards Hall.
Best wishes
Morgan

I have a genealogy of the Edwards of Glamorgan. Dawson was my great grandmother's maiden name. I have her wedding picture hanging in my living room. I would be happy to share the information I have with you.
My father - Richard Edwards passed away June 1st which leaves me as the last one in this line. I do have some cousins that are Conaways.
Feel free to email me at - * if you would like to ask me any questions. Some of the info I have goes as far back as the 1500's.
Hope to hear from you - Donna E Wood(*)

Hello Donna :)
Welcome to Rootschat!
Hopefully some of your Edwards cousins will be in contact soon.
You need just more posts to use the PM facility, so reply to this will put you on the way.
Kindest Regards

I'm having trouble with some of the descendants of Thomas Nathaniel Edwards (1690-), who was my 6th great grandfather. Specifically, Ancestry.com has numerous errors, gaps, and many of the marriages or births simply could not have occurred. I'm specifically interested in Jonathan Edwards (1720?) and his descendants as I have a DNA cousin who is linked down this path if I can sort it out properly.
Thanks,
Paul

I can't private post here so have to post out in the forum.
I am on FTDNA. In fact, here are all my coordinates:
23andMe: Paul Duncan
Ancestry.com: grems8544
FTDNA: Kit 281914 (FMS, FF, yDNA-67 (-111 pending))
GEDmatch: A607046 and M181457
AncestryDNA Verified DNA Links: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/58438162
Ancestry Working Tree: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/56579773
My yDNA suggests that I'm a Bennett -- long story there on how I get from being a Bennett to a Duncan. Duncan is irrelevant for the purposes of surname tracking.
My great grandparents were Harry Frank Bennett (1887-1949) and Pearl Elizabeth Jones (1885-1951).
Pearl's father, Thomas Valentine Jones (1824 - 1906) [yes, he fathered her when he was 61; he married Mary Hopkins, 25 years his junior], has a direct ancestor trail to the Edwards line at *his* grandparents level. Thomas' grandparents were Richard Jones (1742) and Sarah Edwards (1742).
Sarah's parents were William Edwards (1720-1801) and Elizabeth Dimmery (1715-1781).
William's parents were Thomas Nathaniel Edwards Sr. (1690-1781) and Sarah Elizabeth Isabella Downing (1692-1742). These two form my most recent common ancestor pair with the person who I have an autosomal DNA link with.
My DNA cousin suggests that his link to Thomas Sr. is through Jonathan (John?) Edwards, c 1720. He has a trail from present day back to Thomas Sr. which is simply wrong. You can review his tree here:
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/17443024/person/20393971225
What is important is that I am showing cousinship with him, and the trail appears to be through the Edwards line.
Any help correcting his mess in his line would be appreciated.
Regards,
Paul

Hi there. I know it's been a long time since you've been active on here, but if you happen to feel like responding I'd love to connect with possible cousins. My immediate family is very small (I'm an only child) and I never learned much about where we all came from. Any information you may have would be a blessing.

Traced my family back to here I'm from east Tennessee starts at John then to Thomas then to William and so on would love more info if someone has time (*) Com

I realize that this may be a while too late, but everything you're asking for, I happen to have in official birth/death documentation, as well as the Edwards family Bible from the late 1600s. If you're still interested, go to Grimsfury.tribalpages.com, wherein I compiled all of my records.
Lovely to meet you.

I'm a new user here and also an Edwards. I've read the entire thread, and am very familiar with all the allegations made here in the US about the marriage of Thomas Nathaniel Edwards and the Downing lady at various dates. Just wondering if anyone who claims to be descended from these individuals has a copy of an actual document that verifies either (a) their existence, or (b) their marriage? Realize the Records office in Glamorgan shows no evidence of an Edwards Hall. Am thinking there are no records anywhere showing these 2 ever existed, not to mention married. Would love someone to prove me wrong because I believe serious genealogy should be based on solid documentation - not hearsay. Thanks in advance!
