    Notes 
    • !NOTES:Based on series of 1832 deeds, it is possible that Elisha Manning is a son-in-law of Richard Edwards. Elisha was in Copiah Co., MS by 1850 wife named Rebecca age 41 (c1808/09). Had sons Richard, David, etc.

      It is also possible that Absalom Turbeville's wife Lucretia/Creasy/Theresa is a daughter of Richard Edwards. See 1838 deed from Turbeville to Richard Edwards (Jr), though nothing is said specifically about relationship.

      Samuel Smith Jr also deeded by Richard ca 1832, might also be a son-in-law;

      Edwards.te. Tradition informs us that Richard Edwards came to South Carolina from Virginia soon after the Revolutionary War; that he was originally from England,, or rather his ancestors ; that during the Revolution he was shot in the head and his skull was fractured ; that the fracture was trepanned with gold, and from that fact was generally called "Gold-headed Richard or Dick Edwards." We are not informed who his wife was ; he raised a family of sons and perhaps daughters, the daughters are unknown; his sons were Richard, David, Samuel and Henry—who became stocks for families, more or less numerous, now in the county they settled on Buck Swamp. Their father, "Gold-headed Dick," lived to a great age, and was a man of some means.
      ...
      Rev. David Edwards, second son of "Gold-headed Dick," a capital man, married into the extensive family of the Rogers his wife was a sister of "Captain Tarleton" and of Dew Rogers, both of them before spoken of herein ; by his marriage he had and raised fourteen children, six sons and eight daughters; the sons were Carey, Andrew, David, Richard, Robert and William; the daughters were Harriet, Elizabeth, Sallie, Martha, Nancy, Alice, Emaline and Mary. Of the sons, Andrew, Richard and Robert are dead ; of the daughters, Sallie, Martha, Alice and Emaline are dead ; the dead ones, however, all married and left families. ;
