Records show that sons, Richard and Seth were kill
ed in battle , they were Torries. Even though there isn't anything on record, brothers, Edward and David also died in 1782, they were probably also Torries....?????

The following info has been proven John Edwards 1695-1801 settled in Kings William Co., Va. Moved toOrange Co., NC in 1763 with wife Mary. Will was probated in Orange Co., NC 1818 John was 105 yrs old. at the time of his death. Children mentioned in "will" were:

Feb 1785 Orange Co., NC John Edwards appointed guardian for Richard, Elizabeth, Mary, Edward, and Sara (Covey) - orphans of son Richard

Nov 1785 John Edwards was appointed guardian of John and Henry Edwards, orphans of son, Edward.

There's a chance that John 's wife was a Campbell not Stokes or he married twice..

Will: Dated 2 April 1796, proved Nov. 1801 Orange County, NC. Children named in Will. William not named because he died before his father Richard.

There are some researchers that say that John married a Mary Campbell or Jackson, but they have been unable to show any proof. For now, Stokes stays.....................
