Hello trot30,
My fourth great-grandfather was William Edwards born 24 May 1799, according to his tombstone in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana. According to an 1850 census of this parish he was born in England. The earliest record here in the states that I have found of him is in Dallas County, Alabama. I don't know exactly where he came into the states or when. He would have had to have come sometime between 1799 and 1826. I also don't know if he came over with his parents or by himself when he came of age, nor If he has any siblings.
I have reason to believe that my William's parents MIGHT be William Pemberton Edwards and Sarah Lewis who had a child, William Edwards, born 24 May 1798 near Oswestry, Shropshire, England. William Pemberton Edwards himself was born 13 Aug 1769 in Denbighshire Co., Wales near Wrexham to William Edwards and Sarah (Pemberton?).
If you think we might have a connection between our Edwards', I will pursue the farm/house you mentioned in the states. Do you know approximately what area of the United States the farm/house was located in? And a year range?
