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.

Edwards-28275 and Edwards-24985 appear to represent the same person because: Same guy, probably
Edwards-36682 and Edwards-24985 appear to represent the same person because: Similar data

Also refer to https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/81471409/miles-s-edwards

I believe his Find A Grave is erroneously attached to the wrong Joshua as father.
