Hey Richard - I just came across more information that was written in my great grandfather's (Albert Thornton Edwards) 1910 biograpghical sketch on the History of Benton County, Iowa. The info is as follows:

Albert T. Edwards, now retired from active life and residing in Vinton, is a veteren of the Civil War. He was born in Brown County, Ohio, September 2nd, 1840 and is a son of James and Nancy (Richmond) Edwards. James Edwards was born January 6th, 1800 near Maysville, Kentucky, and moved with his parents to Ohio when a boy. George Edwards was born in Virginia, and was a son of Jonathan Edwards, who was kidnapped and brought to this country from Scotland; he served twenty one years, and on obtaining his freedom revisited his native country, but soon afterword returnded to Virginia.

Is it possible that Georgre's father's full name was James Jonathan Edwards or Jonathan James Edwards? Or do you think they are two different people? Geez - this gets so confusing! Thx. Katherine
