Research Notes
In the Edward Heirs source, James Edwards is married to Rebecca WARD, but "a different one" than his mother.
In another source she is named Rebecca Ware.
The book that is widely quoted as a source for Edwards genealogy of this branch: - Arthur Edwards and his descendants, etc by Anthony C. Christensen - on page 1-4 includes the rest of the sentence from above "James Edwards married Rebecca Ward (another Rebecca) WHO WAS THE DAUGHTER OF JOB WARD" (although it must be Sr, due to the dates).
This source should be used with caution as it does contain many errors.
