Ardis,
The first appearance of Edward is in the 1860 US Census and we do not know when he came to the US – he could have come through Canada. Oral tradition has 5 brothers going their separate ways, Edward in Waukegan, Illinois (1860).
Edward’s birth date is 1828 so that’s a good fit.
His children were Edward, James Mary and Elizabeth. Is there any correlation to first born names in the US on your side? That often time happened.
I was named after one of the original 5 brothers, again oral tradition. I have four brothers; Edward, Philip, Paul and Ray. Philip may also have been named after one of the original 5 brothers.
