EDWARDS, William Asbury (1839-1909) was b. in Casey Co, KY and md. Nancy Josephine "Josie" Harrod in 1862 in Edmonson Co, KY. Their 10 children were Martha Jane, Jessie Tomes, Bonny Anna, William M "Willie", Rosa Belle, Mary Tabitha "Tobe", David Newton, Charlie Luther, Sarah Sylviana, and Paulus Clinton Clero. I believe (but have no proof) William Asbury Edwards' parents were Thomas Edwards b. abt 1806 who md 05 July 1829 Casey Co, KY to Rhoda E. Godbey as they appear on the 1830 & 1850 Census of Casey Co KY and have a son named William Edwards (age 16 on 1850 census of Casey Co KY) . Then, the Thomas Edwards family are on the 1860 Census of Edmonson Co KY--William Asbury Edwards md Nancy Josephine Harrod in 1862 in Edmonson Co KY--and the Thomas Edwards family was living next door to Andrew L. Edwards on the 1860 Census Edmonson Co. Then the Thomas Edwards family are on the1870 Census in Casey County KY. The 1880 Census of Neatsville, Adair Co, KY has Thomas & Rhoda Godbey Edwards living with their dau., Sarah J. & husband, Peter Foster. William Asbury Edwards' Civil War file states he was b. in Casey Co KY and when he enlisted into the Civil War he had been living in Edmonson Co 5 years. The William Asbury Edwards family lived in Edmonson & Hart Co the remainder of their life while the Thomas Edwards Family moved back to Casey Co and finally to Adair Co KY. I'm trying to prove with documentation that William Asbury Edwards is s/o Thomas Edwards & Rhoda Godbey. I'm wondering if Thomas Edwards & Rhoda Godbey Edwards are buried in Casey Co or Adair Co KY. Anyone have connections to this family? Thanks, Edith Bastin epb1937@scrtc.com |
