Edwards Patriots

The fact of approximately 700 enlistments in the Union Army and Navy during the Civil War by young men using the surname of Edwards is cause for us to believe they believed Edwards was their rightful name, and not a random choice made by former slaves after emancipation and wars end.   It is quite likely that upwards of seven thousand African-Americans used the same surname after the war.

Edwards Generations so far we have been able to determine obtained the surname "Edwards" from the lineage of Abel Edwards who migrated from England around 1748 most likely in service to the British crown government as a soldier or sailor.
