David Edwards
was born 1787 in Gellygaer, Glamorganshire, Wales, and died Apr 1842 in
Monmouthshire, Wales. He married ANN
LAWRENCE ABT 1817,
daughter of JENKIN LAWRENCE
and SARAH POWELL.
She was born 1793 in Trevethin Parish (Pontypool) Monmouthshire, and died 28 Apr
1846 in Llanhilleth, Monmouthshire, Wales.
Notes for DAVID
EDWARDS:
David Edwards' will of
28Feb1842, brought by Ann Edwards and proved at Llandaff on 18Aug1842, gives to
Ann Edwards, his wife two leasehold houses situated at Twynyrodin in Merthyr
Tydfil, Glamorganshire together with all of his personal estate. After her death
he gives to Jenkin and John Edwards the two leasehold houses and a sum of five
pounds for each. Also gives to sons William Edwards and Edward Edwards and to
daughters Sarah Edwards and Jane Edwards each the sum of thirty pounds. Also he
bequeaths to Ann Edwards seventy pounds for her own use and absolute benefit. In
his will David Edwards is shown of the parish of Gellygaer, a farmer.
... Speculative remarks:
It is likely that David
Edwards' father's name was John Edwards. This inference is from the names given
to his two eldest sons (twins) named John and Jenkin. Jenkin was his wife's
father's name (Jenkin Lawrence), hence it is reasonable to assume that David's
father's name was John. Also, a Rev. John Edwards (possibly a brother of David
Edwards) was living in the Hafodrynys area in 1818 (his eldest son was baptised
at St Iltyd's Oct 14, 1814. Later this John Edwards was clerk in Bedwas, then
curate at St Semmes in Bedwellty.
David Edwards may have been
the innkeeper in Llantillo-Pertholey referenced in a bond record dated Sept 15
in the 55th year of the reign of King George III. (Given the date 1760 as the
start of George III reign, this works out to 1815.) One of the two underwriters
of the bond is John Edwards, tailor of Abergevenny. (John Edwards, tailor of
Abergevenny, is mentioned as a suretor in a number of recognizance records.)

Notes for ANN
LAWRENCE:
Ann Lawrence and her three
sisters (Elizabeth, Rachel, and Mary) were daughters of Jenkin Lawrence, a
long-time resident of the Hafodyrynys area (extreme western part) of Trevethin
parish. The Lawrence family lived on the Penhewl-cochwidd (Upper reddish road)
farm in the Cefn-crib area of the parish. Because the Llanhilleth parish
church, St Illtyd's, was much closer to the Lawrence farm than the parish church
for Trevethin (St Craddoc's), the Lawrence family is as closely associated with
the Llanhilleth parish as it is with Treventhin. David Edwards married Ann
Lawrence and operated the Star Inn in the 1820s (probably a Lawrence property),
and later farmed land jointly owned by his wife Ann and her sisters Elizabeth (Mrs
John Green), Rachel (Mrs John Harris), and Mary (Mrs David Jones), coheiresses
of their father's land. Ann Lawrence died in 1846, one year before five of her
six children left for America. She is buried in St Illtyd's churchyard along
with her husband and her sister Mary.

Notes for WILLIAM
DAVID EDWARDS:
William Edwards' father,
David Edwards, was an innkeeper and farmer in Llanhilleth parish (Monmouthshire)
in the 1820s/1830s. Both David and his wife Ann Lawrence died in Wales: David
in 1842, and Ann in 1846. William probably came to American (to Ohio with one
of his Morris uncles?) about 1846 and married Lydia A. (born in New York state),
but William and Lydia found themselves back in Wales in 1847 when their first
child, Anna M. was born. (Note that Lydia is listed as Lydionia A. Edwards in
the 1860 Fond du Lac County census.) However, their next two daughters, Mary J.
and Eliza R., were born in Ohio. Sometime between 1853 and 1858 the family
moved to Wisconsin, and established a 120 acre farm located between farms of his
sister Sarah (Edwards) Watson and brother Edward. Their children David
A.(1856), Sarah A.(1858), George(1859), Sherman(1863), Myron(1865), Rial(1866),
and Francis(1868) were all born in Wisconsin. Lydia died sometime between 1870
and 1880 leaving William with a household of eight dependents.
In the Fond du Lac Atlas
listing of 1880: Wm Edwards, (widower, family of nine, one employee), 120 acres
on west line of Section 36, Eldorado west, Wisconsin. The legal description of
the Wm Edwards farm in late 1850s was: South quarter of SW quarter of Section 25
(40 acres) and North quarter of NW quarter of Section 36 (40 acres). The
description of the farm in 1872 (after brother Edward left for Iowa) added:
South half of NW quarter of NW quarter of Section 36 (20 acres) and north half
of SW quarter of NW quarter of Section 36 (20 acres). The total farm was then
120 acres. The farm home was located on the west edge of the property on the
north/south county road near the line between sections 25 and 36.
The 1900 census lists
William Edwards as the spouse (not head of house) with wife Sarah, living at 355
Doty St. The 1920 census shows Sarah T. Edwards and daughter Sarah Reithehibad
(age 61, born in New Jersey) at that address.
