It is likely that these
autosomal DNA
test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Miles:
Edwards-28275 and Edwards-24985 are not ready to be merged because: Thinking these might end up the same person but still looking for evidence of Miles b. 1800
I am seeing no evidence of another Miles Edwards in Chatham County so I think his parents are Joshua born 1773 and Sarah Barker and not the Joshua in Guilford County. He is married around age 20 in Chatham County. Logically, his family was most likely in Chatham County and not Guilford County.
