Descendants of John Edwards

 

Generation No. 1

1. JOHN1 EDWARDS was born in Lived in Nassau Co., Florida in 1814, and died 1818 in St. Augustine, FL. He married MARY ANN BRADDOCK, daughter of JOHN BRADDOCK and LUCIA COOK.

Notes for JOHN EDWARDS:

Nominal Poll of the inhabitants of both Rivers of Nassau. In the 1814 Spanish

Census of Florida, reel #148 is listed: John Edwards widower age 38, Male children 1 of 1-7 yrs., 1 from 7-16 yrs. Female children, 1 of 7-16. Total in family 4. Total slaves 13.

John Edward, widower, married second, Mary Ann Braddock, daughter of Capt. John Cutler and Lucia Braddock. Will of Mary Braddock Edwards, State of Florida, Jefferson County, list her children. John and Mary Braddock Edwards moved from Amelia Island to St. Augustine with their family where he established himself and engaged in boat building. At the time of his death in 1818, he owned a large number of slaves and was a wealthy man. After his death, the family moved to Jefferson County near the town of what is now called Lloyd.

Mary Braddock Edwards died at her plantation and is buried at Edgewood Cemetery beside Elizabeth Edwards, her oldest daughter. Mary had a very lengthy will in which she named every child except Elizabeth, who had preceded her in death.

Ref: Braddock - Edwards Family History

The family history on the rest of this family seems to have been written by a granddaughter of Oscar Christopher Edwards. I found the typed family history

in my mother, Helen Hodges, files and have included it in the Edwards Family History. I do not know where it came from, the papers are yellowed and appear

to be old. There is no mention as to who wrote it, but the author said that Oscar Christopher Edwards was her (or his) grandfather.

Dear Ann Telfair Cramer,

I was looking through some the records I found researching my book and found

several items which my be of interest to you as a descendant of John Edwards

and probably of Edward Telfair:

The first is a record from the Telfair papers and deals with the Somerville

estate, of which Edward Telfair was administrator. Email format may prevent

columns from aligning properly. The mentioned William Lyford Jr. is my fifth

great uncle and some great uncle to you as a descendant of David Cutler

Braddock, Lyford's brother-in-law:

The next is from a meeting of the Georgia Council of Safety three months after

the British had been run out of Georgia. In addition to uncle William Lyford

Jr. being mentioned, Peter Edwards--who may or may not be related to John

Edwards--and Edward Telfair are named:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------

Collections of the Georgia Historical Society (Excerpt of minutes of meeting

from "Proceedings of the Georgia Council of Safety"):

At a meeting of the Council, June 26th, 1776

Present:

His Excellency the Prest. William LeConte.

Adam Fowler Brisbane. Benjn. Andrew.

John Wereat.

John Adam Treutlen.

Jonathan Cochrane.

Doctor Nathan Brownson waited on the Board, and took his seat in the room of

Colonel Baker.

His Excellency the President laid before the Board the Address of the Congress

respecting those whose going at large is dangerous to the liberties of

America, when the following list was proposed as containing persons of this

character:

Alexander Martin. James Spalding.

John Douglass. Benj. Wilson.

John Hume. George Baillie.

Andrew Johnson. Thomas Netherclift.

Henry Preston. Alexd. Mcgoun.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----

------------------------------------------------

Edward Telfair was not only exonerated of the charge of being for the British

cause by being included on a 1780 list of those the British considered as

traitors, he later elected one of the state of Georgia's early governors.

The remaining items are about a John Edwards who I thinks is the one who

married Lucia Braddock. The first is a record of belated payments for service

in the Revolutionary War. John Edwards is list as having been lieutenant on a

galley. John Braddock is on the same list as captain of a galley. There were

few Georgia gallies in the war, so there is a good chance that the two men

served on the same vessel and that may be what lead to John Edwards meeting

John Braddock's daughter Lucia:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----

--------------------------------------------------

Georgia Department of Archives and History (Auditor's Journal entries):

. . . February 1, 1787. . .

105 The United States, Dr. to Sundry persons, viz:

104 To John Edwards, for his pay as a Lieutenant on Board

the Gallies, No 936 £

152-9-5½.

194 To John Bacon Ditto, 937 £

162-6.

104 To John Trevor, Ditto 930 £

212-16.

107 To Captain John Braddock Ditto 939 £ 478-5-4.

To Captain John Hardy, for pay for 8 Negroes on

Board the Gallies, £ 264-

To Peter Thomas, for his pay as Captain of Artillery at

the reduction of Augusta, per resolve of Assembly, £ 49-11-8

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----

--------------------------------------------------

John Hardy commanded one of the other gallies. If my memory serves me

correctly, I think I heard from someone, perhaps Pat Goodbread Smith or Judge

Alexander D. Williams, that the Thomas Ellis Hardee that Mary Ann Berrie,

daughter of Lucia's sister Mary Ann Braddock Berrie, married. was a descendant

of Captain John Hardee.

John Edwards, along with John Braddock and most public figures of Glynn

County, was listed in the July 10 issue of the State of Georgia Gazette as a

defaulter of taxes on land on St. Simon's Island:

Defaulters of St. Simon's District.

John Thompkins, Jacob Helvelstone, Richard Touchstone, Christopher

Touchstone, John Piles, John Nunn, Hugh Binks, Joseph Terry, Richard

Summerford, Leonard Harper, John Palmer, Martin Palmer, George Jenkins,

Alexander Bisset, Samuel Gray, Barthalomew Bath, James Woodland, Arthur

Adkins, William Mazo, Richard Dudley, John Edwards, James Helveston,

Raymond Demere jun, Alexander Daniel Cuthbert, John Braddock, Richard

Bradley, William Edwards, Jesse Wicket, Daniel Manson, William Steven, John

Burnet sen, John Burnet jun, George Fulford, ---Garnet, John Jones, John

Good, James Spalding.

J. Mackintosh jun,

Receiver of Tax Returns St. Simon's Island.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----

---------------------------------------

And finally, John Edwards is again coupled with John (Cutler) Braddock in the

Glynn County Militia, of which John Braddock later became commander:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----

--------------------------------------------------

Georgia Department of Archives and History (Minutes of the Executive Council

of Georgia, appointment):

Government house

Augusta, Saturday 4th. Septr. 4, 1790.

The rank and arrangement of the Militia of Glynn County are established

this day in the following order:

Christopher Hillary, Esqr. Colo.

John Braddock Esqr. Lieut. Colo.

John McIntosh Esqr., Major.

1st. company.

Richard Bradley Esqr., Captain

John Edwards Gent. , 1st Lieut.

Richard Summerford Gent., 2nd Lieut.

2nd company.

William Steven Esqr., Capt.

James McLeod Gent., 1st Lieut.

James Harrison Gent., 2nd Lieut

State House, Augusta.

Saturday 4th Septr. 1790

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the above pertaining to John Edwards presents pretty good

circumstantial evidence that he served with John Braddock in the effective

campaign John Braddock and his galley waged against the British.

I hope this information serves in furthering your search of Edwards family

history.

Notes for MARY ANN BRADDOCK:

John and Mary Braddock Edwards moved from Amelia Island, Fl to St. Augustine

with their family where established himself and engaged in the boat building

business.

 

More About MARY ANN BRADDOCK:

Burial: Spring Bluff Plantation, Camden Co., GA

Ref:: LDS(AFN: Q7JM-XB)

Children of JOHN EDWARDS and MARY BRADDOCK are:

2. i. ELIZABETH2 EDWARDS, d. 1845.

3. ii. JOHN DAVID EDWARDS, b. 1796, moved to Leon Co., FL; d. 1883.

iii. ANN EDWARDS, b. 1800; d. Unknown; m. SAMUEL SPICER CHRISTOPHER.

Notes for ANN EDWARDS:

We know of no heir in her family since her husband died in 1836; however, in her mother's will written in August, 1847 we find these words "I give and bequeath unto my daughter Ann Christopher and her heir forever..." If she had children, nothing is known about them. She is the "Grandma Christopher" who took my grandfather and others in his family when we was suddenly orphaned by the untimely death of his mother, Mary Kempes Turnbull Edwards in the year of perhaps 1851. She left her will reading that all "monies I may get or receive from the Spanish Claims" should go to the wife and children of "my nephew, Oscar Christopher Edwards'" my grandfather. She also left 80 acres of land to his son, James Braddock Edwards.

 

iv. CAROLINE M. EDWARDS, b. 1806, Amelisa Island, FL; d. 1889; m. ALFRED A. FISHER, April 05, 1839.

Notes for CAROLINE M. EDWARDS:

Mentioned as daughter in Will of Mary Edwards.

 

Notes for ALFRED A. FISHER:

He built a beautiful home for his wife, Caroline, which still stands as part of the East Hill Baptist Church buildings in Tallahassee, Fl. We were always told that the knob to the front door was sterling silver. The house was originally located on College Ave. just one block below the First Baptist Church and was known as the Ellis house because it was owned for a long time by Judge Ellis and his family. The lines are beautiful and should be listed among those places to visit in Tallahassee. Col. Fisher and Caroline evidently separated since she lived with her mother until her mother died and then with sister Ann Christopher. No heirs have been mentioned.

 

4. v. ADELINE CATHERINE EDWARDS, b. February 27, 1808; d. February 08, 1897.

5. vi. JAMES BRADDOCK EDWARDS, b. January 31, 1812, Amelia Island, FL, lived in Jefferson Co., FL 1830's.; d. February 25, 1860, Jefferson Co., FL at his plantation..

vii. HENRY RECUS EDWARDS, b. 1815, Amelia Island, FL; d. 1876; m. ISABELLA DENHAM.

Notes for HENRY RECUS EDWARDS:

Mentioned as son in Will of Mary Edwards. Henry lost his sight at the age of 22 when a limb or Splinter entered his eyes. He was riding out in the woods on his horse at the time. However, this accident did not hinder him from leading an almost normal life. He married the lovely Isabella Denham from Dunbar, Scotland, and although they never had children, he built a beautiful home for Isabella on a large plantation near Lloyd, and he successfully carried out the work of farming by means of his colored people, whom he constantly directed. It is said that he was accustomed to walking through his cotton fields and predicting the extent of the crop by touching with his sensitive fingers the blossoms and bolls of the cotton plants. I have been told that the flower garden around the house was beyond compare with any others in that area. I have also been told that Henry gave the land for Springfield Church and Cemetery, but I am not sure of this.

Notes for ADAM WIRICK:

He was a Methodist minister. He was moved about by the Church all the way from the lovely old church at St. Mary's, GA, over to Gadsden Co., FL. We found records of the early ministers of the Church listed among the items of historic interest when we visited there in 1976. A beautiful home was also built for Adeline in Monticello, in 1831., and stands today very much like the house it was though slightly remodeled. The Wirlicks moved to another plantation close to Lloyd, where they remained until their deaths.

10. JOHN TURNBULL3 EDWARDS (JAMES BRADDOCK2, JOHN1) was born August 08, 1840. He married LOUISA BERRIE HOLLAND May 29, 1862.

Notes for JOHN TURNBULL EDWARDS:

Most of the information which we have on him comes from his grandson, John (Jack) Turnbull Edwards III, who lives in Charleston Heights, SC. It is interesting that there have been four "John Turnbull Edwards" so far and may perhaps be a fifth by now. It must be remembered that the "Turnbull" in this name comes from their relative Mary Kempes Turnbull, originally although this particular family is also related to the renown, "Dr. Andrew Turnbull," through the marriage of John Turnbull Edwards to Louisa Berrie Holland on May 29, 1862. This occurred during the Civil War, and the couple never returned to Jefferson Co., except for visits.

One written source describes "The Edwards House" in St. Augustine, John T. Edwards, Proprietor, as being "delightfully located and commands a view of the bay, the ocean, the sea-wall and fort.....kept open in both winter and summer, and is one of the most popular in the city. Mr. Edwards.....came to St. Augustine in 1876. During the Civil War he was a member of Longstreet's Corps, operating in Virginia. From this union came four children.

Children of JOHN EDWARDS and LOUISA HOLLAND are:

17. i. MARY C.4 EDWARDS, b. May 06, 1871.

18. ii. JAMES HOLLAND EDWARDS, b. August 23, 1873.

19. iii. LOUISA ALBER EDWARDS, b. March 24, 1880.

20. iv. JOHN TURNBULL EDWARDS, JR., b. November 03, 1883.

11. JAMES WOODY3 EDWARDS (JAMES BRADDOCK2, JOHN1) was born August 23, 1844. He married (1) CLAUDIA HOPE CRISLER. He married (2) CATHARINE ANN MORRIS November 09, 1875, daughter of JAMES MORRIS and CATHARINE MATHERS.

Notes for JAMES WOODY EDWARDS:

Mentioned as grandson in Will of Mary Edwards.

He served as a soldier in the Civil War from 1861 to 1865, when he was discharged after having been a prisoner of war for two years, he returned to Jefferson Co., where he married, worked, and lived out the rest of his life. At one time he was State Senator from the district.

He lived next door to his brother who was my grandfather, both men having received the land as their share of their father's plantation, and the "James Woody Edwards" property has remained in the hands of the family continuously now being farmed by, Walter Bond Edwards Jr., his grandson.
