My Edwards family moved to Washington state in the early 1900's. They are listed in my grandfather Roy's Edwards obit as living in the Olympia, Washington area. Here is the little info that I have on the family; from the 1900 Federal Census of the Town of Rock Falls, Lincoln County, Wisconsin (Merrill once known as Jenny or Jenny Bull Falls)
John (Sr.) was born in England in December 1848, age 51 in 1900 ;immigrated to the US in 1865. He is listed as being a Stone Mason; he also owned a farm and was involved in logging.
His wife is listed as Anna C born in May 1849 in New York, age 51 in 1900; her father was born in Ireland and her mother in England.
John and Anna were married 27 years on the 1900 census and had nine children, six of whom were still living in 1900.
Their children were:
Robert born January 1879, age 21 in 1900 was born in Iowa (?) and worked as a day laborer.
Roy born January 1879, age 21 in 1900 was born in Iowa (?) and worked as a day laborer. (My grandfather, stayed in Wisconsin)
John born October 1880, age 19 in 1900 was born in Iowa (?) and worked as a farm laborer.
Eva born February 1882 , age 18 in 1900 was born in Iowa (?) and worked as a servant. (Eva married an Eric Ericson(Erickson) and had a son Everett.
Martha (Mattie) born January 1883, age 17 in 1900 was born in Wisconsin and worked as a servant.
Arthur another brother not listed on the 1900census.
I do not have any info on the three children who died prior to 1900.
We would like to find relatives who might know more Edwards family history.
Again, thanks for your help.
