    Profile of son John: "His father, William Edwards, was likewise born and reared in Todd county, and he devoted his entire active career to agricultural pursuits, in connection with which he was the owner of one of the fine farms of Todd county, where he continued to reside until his death. He was a son of Bernard Edwards, who was born in Culpepper county, Virginia, where the family, of English lineage, was founded in Colonial days. He came to Kentucky in the pioneer epoch and established his residence in Todd county, where he passed the residue of his life. William Edwards married Miss Sarah A. Caldwell, who was born and reared in Greene county, Kentucky, and whose death occurred in Logan county. Of the eight children, Judge Edwards of this sketch is the youngest, and the three sons and five daughters are living."
