Research

• Alford Thomas Edwards (GGGPa) married Jane Lewers aka Nancy Jane Lewen in Cannon County TN, in 1857. I got some conflicted stories ...many indicated that Nancy Jane died in childbirth with Alford David aka Dee....but she doesn't seem to have died until 1881. Also, the term Andersonville was mentioned in reference to Alford T. Regards, Sharon

• "David (Dee) Edwards' father was killed in the Civil War (South), but other stories have him dying at Anderson Prison (from the notes of JoAnn Edwards Williamson)
