Edwards.??The Edwards family, on Buck Swamp, is another family of some note. Tradition informs us that Richard Edwards came to South Carolina from Virginia soon after the Revolutionary War; that he was originally from England,, or rather his ancestors ; that during the Revolution he was shot in the head and his skull was fractured ; that the fracture was trepanned with gold, and from that fact was generally called "Gold-headed Richard or Dick Edwards." We are not informed who his wife was ; he raised a family of sons and perhaps daughters, the daughters are unknown; his sons were Richard, David, Samuel and Henry—who became stocks for families, more or less numerous, now in the county they settled on Buck Swamp. Their father, "Gold-headed Dick," lived to a great age, and was a man of some means.
...
Rev. David Edwards, second son of "Gold-headed Dick," a capital man, married into the extensive family of the Rogers his wife was a sister of "Captain Tarleton" and of Dew Rogers, both of them before spoken of herein ; by his marriage he had and raised fourteen children, six sons and eight daughters; the sons were Carey, Andrew, David, Richard, Robert and William; the daughters were Harriet, Elizabeth, Sallie, Martha, Nancy, Alice, Emaline and Mary. Of the sons, Andrew, Richard and Robert are dead ; of the daughters, Sallie, Martha, Alice and Emaline are dead ; the dead ones, however, all married and left families. ;
