Notes
a. Note:   On 1900 Census taken in Lapeer, Michigan. Edward H. Edwards was age 55 and married for 38 years. He and both parents were born in England. He came to the United Staes in 1847. He had been in the U.S. for 52 years meaning he was about 3 years old when he came to the U.S. He is a naturalized citizen. He is a farmer and rents the farm .
  1920 census for Martha J. Edwards shows her as a widow; so Edward, her husband has died in the last 10 years, since the last census.
 ----------------------------------------------------------------
 1880 Census shows his living in Attica, Lapeer Co., Michigan with birthdate of 1845 in England. Martha Edwards, born in New York is age 37 and he is age 35. 3 Children: Annie age 10, , George age 6, and Melville (male) age 3. He is listed as a farmer. His father and mother were born in England. His wife was born in N.Y. and her tather in N.Y. and mother in N.J.
 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 1910 U. S. Census (May 5, 1910) for Lapeer township, Lapeer Co., Mich has Edward age 65 and Martha age 67, married for 48 years . Martha gave birth to 5 children who are all living. No children listed in this household now.
  [I checked on the location of this cemetery and its proximity to Attica, Lapeer Co and it is on the west side of the state while Lapeer Co., is on the Eastern side. ., but the time of death would be correct since Edward had died before the 1920 census and was living in 1910.]

  The grandson of Princeton College president and "The Great Awakening" minister Rev. Jonathan Edwards. Edward lived in Stockbridge, Mass., then in various points in NY state before coming to Michigan. Parents: Timothy & Rhoda (Ogden) Edwards. Note: The Edwards family genealogy book "Timothy & Rhoda Ogden Edwards..." by W.H. Edwards has a conflicting birthplace, and death date, but it is known for numerous such mistakes. Book states birthplace as Stockbridge, Mass. Family genealogy says Elizabethtown, NJ. Spouse: Mary Ballard m. 4 Sept 1783, maybe at Stockbridge, Mass. (d. 1824 Binghamton, NY). Two of Edward's children lived in Michigan and that is what probably drew him here. His daughter Mary (Mrs. James McKinney) lived in Sturgis, and son Edwin Edwards married a Nancy Williams who died in Waterford MI. in 1836.
