I am researching my Edwards Family from Fannin County Georgia. My great grandfather was John William Edwards born abt. June 1865 died in Fannin County Georgia in 1927 and was buried at Sugar Creek Baptist Church in Fannin County Georgia. According to census and other records, he was born in Georgia, his father was born in Virginia and his mother was born in Tennessee, I haven't been able to find anything yet about what their names were. John was a really tall man, 7 foot 4 1/2 inches tall. He married a woman under 5 foot tall by the name of Mary Ann (Annie) Quintrell born abt. September 1858 in Cornwall England, she and her family came to the States just before the Civil War began. Her parents were John Quintrell born 1833 died 1908 and Mary Ann Bennetts born 1834 died 1862. John and Annie had the following children:
James (Jim)Edwards b.Nov 1886
Isaac Edwards b.Mar 1888
Mont Edwards b. July 1890
Minnie Edwards b. Oct 1892
John Mitchel Edwards b. Mar 1894
Harry Edwards b. Feb 1897
Thomas Edwards 1899-1899
Ethel Edwards b. Aug 1900
James Edwards 1902-1902
I have been told by some older family members that at some point between when my great great grandfather was born and when my great grandfather was born that my great great grandfather lived in South Carolina, but I'm not sure exactly where in South Carolina, and from there they came to North Georgia. Have you happen to run across any information that might be a connection to any of those I've named here?
